Even for those of us without a shopping addiction, we still need to be cautious. The brain creates dopamine responses that can lead us to want to do more of whatever causes the dopamine reaction.

@Marci LK a very substantive comment you make. Well thought out point.

I think this is a cautionary tale for allowing anything (shopping, alcohol, etc...) to take the place of real physical and emotional relationships.

I was kind of like this before but when I watch minimalism and konmari method help me lot. Now I spend on healthy foods instead. Fast fashion too ruin the environment

My mother was bipolar and had this shopping addiction. She would spend hundreds on beanie babies, furniture, clothes....while her kids went to bed hungry or ate canned veggies.

@THEwhimsical1 She acted like I was attacking her and taking away from what she felt she deserved. She came from a violent home and wanted what she felt was owed to her--in this case, nice material possessions.

Shopping gives me hives. I guess that is sort of a good thing, except when I run out of presentable clothes and have no time to find decent fabric and sew. So when I find trousers or a shirt that fits, I buy two or three of them.

I heard a story once about a lady who was so deeply affected by this disease that she murdered elderly women to rob them so that she could go shop and get hair done and that type of thing. This woman is gleeful about saying she'll put shopping above eating. Amazing how these things can happen to us.

I obvioisly wouldn't behave this way if i wasn't living with my parents who pay for food, bills and other necessities.

This is really bad. A down payment for your own house tomorrow would feel better than that shop today. It a bit of an insult to your parents too as they can't have fun as you do cos they are paying for you. You are acting like a child and not an adult. I hope you change this
