Shopping Therapy?

[Sigma Octantis]

hmmm...


Sometimes, I turn into a girl when I'm stressed out.

like, if I'm sick or something going out shopping makes me feel better if reading/writing/painting/sleeping doesn't do me any good.


its a costy remedy but it sure is effective x.x

No wonder, we are taught to be more happy when we have more things. It's important so that companies survive, that's why marketing is such a huge thing. And so, people wont know how to seek comfort from others anymore.

Do you really want to keep depending on simple, dead objects to improve your mood, though?

I for one love dead things but shoppings always a pain

Does anyone here know how to be comforting?

Personally I usually prefer to mope or knock myself out with alcohol, there's just nothing out there that I like that's suitable for this kind of impulse buying.

My point D:

Though I was speaking in general.

I hate shopping, unless I'm planning something like a trip and I'm researching and buying gear for an adventure.

I tend to shop when I'm stressed or bored too. I've never been interested in clothes or anything like that, I buy junk food, books and plants (gardening is one of my surrogate activities as Ted Kaczynski would say. I think INTP and INTJ people need these more than anyone.)

I'm now quite an expert at viticulture (the growing of grape vines) but have no interest in œnology (the study of wine) whatsoever.
I like growing grapes, I'm not one of these pompous people that goes around sniffing wine.

I skip nights of sleep watching mindless series, often while drinking. After that I sleep for atleast 12 hours, and usually when I wake up, all is good again.
