Scientifically - shopping helps in bringing joy and ease pain

MOONAMONA86 · 36-40, F

I bought stuff yesterday online because I wanted

itsok · 31-35, F

@MOONAMONA86 I just received a package today of clothes and stationery I didn’t need

MOONAMONA86 · 36-40, F

Na I’m not buying clothes anymore they either don’t fit or are bad material @itsok

I don't tend to buy stuff when I'm sad but I do tend to gamble on football (soccer) the thought of a win can lift my mood before the inevitable loss takes me lower than when I started 🤪

More like when I'm bored cause I want something to do!!!

@itsok Nerd stuff like tech. lol That and food. I love trying different foods.

itsok · 31-35, F

@canusernamebemyusername do you have a favorite food?

canusernamebemyusername · M

@itsok I usually just say anything potato based. It's hard to mess up up a potato dish. Mashed, baked, butter, spiced, chips, vodka. Something for everyone.

Coppercoil · M

Yeah.. doing that now. I almost bought a 2k dollar laptop yesterday, but I could not find one single reason I would even use it really.

itsok · 31-35, F

@Coppercoil is it desperation for a distraction or something that will make you feel all better? It’s weird how it can really feel like buying can make you feel better, and afterwards you can plainly see nothing you bought could’ve done that.

SW-User

No, I tend to be "cheaper" when I'm down & out. I have 2 pay back some personal loans & have plans 2 move in the future, I don't buy anything I don't absolutely need.

Danerol · 31-35, M

No I just suffer in silence or sometimes I write but everyone is difference

Allelse · 36-40, M

Yep mostly food.

BiasForAction · M

Is there another way ?

dale74 · M

all the time

KA9ha · 31-35, M

best is to get to the rock on the lonely beach and watch the waves... or on the roof at midnight to see the moon and clouds playing hide and seek

PhoenixPhail · M

Yep. The good feeling lasted for just a short time.

NaughtyPickle · M

No I’m sad when I’m broke

SomeMichGuy · M

hmmm...not typically, no

SW-User

Yeah, it’s called “retail therapy” and it’s a bad habit to get into. Luckily I’ve mostly broken it.

itsok · 31-35, F

@SW-User that’s great that you’ve broken it

BlueVeins · 22-25

Strangely, I've never had that habit. I don't buy a whole lot of extra stuff, and when I do it's usually out of curiosity.

LadyGrace ·

Eh, MAYBE if I'm out. Hardly ever.

Shru002 · 26-30, F

Food. Lots of food

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@itsok So what do you think of Lenny Kravitz & Would You Do Him

itsok · 31-35, F

@JohnOinger he seems alright. I would not do him.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@itsok nice

Elegy · 46-50

Oh yeah, makes you feel better. I've just learned to keep the cost down and to keep it to things I can definitely use to reduce the hurt. 🤣

TexChik · F

I did today actually. Not sure it was because I was sad , but it was sad to have to buy it

itsok · 31-35, F

@TexChik what’d you have to buy?

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@itsok someday we will meet in-person at my California Mansion

itsok · 31-35, F

@JohnOinger definitely. Will you have a pool? And a home theater?

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@itsok yes & Yes

SW-User

(Staring at my Eddie Bauer reversible coat)

Dino11 · M

fast food

itsok · 31-35, F

@Dino11 I’ll do this sometimes. When I don’t want to cook, or it feels comforting

Dino11 · M

@itsok thenyou get sadder with weight you gain..😟

SW-User

I actually don’t... surprisingly

Thespis · M

NightsWatch · M

Thespis · M

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

No, but next time I’m sad I’ll buy you a gift in the SW gift shop.

itsok · 31-35, F

I’m looking forward to your next bout of sadness then. Or wait, I take that back @StevetheSleeve

StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M

@itsok Lol. I don’t get sad often but I’ve made note for the next time.

HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F

You mean medicinal stuff? What do you recommend?

itsok · 31-35, F

@HairbrushDiva I’m not sure what might make you feel better.

HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F

@itsok I'm not particularly sad at the moment, I just wondered what you were thinking of when you posted this question.

ShellAccount · 22-25, M

Usually foods that I like more than my normal meals, like the Impossible Burger.

MrBlueGuy

Usually liquor haha.

@waleskinder "We need more beer! After this case, and the other case, we only have two cases left!"

itsok · 31-35, F

@MrBlueGuy I think drinking makes me feel worse

MrBlueGuy

@itsok Oh wow I actually answered this question 6 months ago I didn't even remember..must have been drinking at the time xD

boklenholley7 · F

I buy extra foods sometimes, but nothing more than $20

Rutterman · 46-50, M

No, I'm actually less inclined to buy stuff when I'm sad.

Vivaci

I've survived on shopping to feel good for years now. 😅

iamelijah · 26-30, M

Sometimes. Since I got my debit card, I bought many things lately.

rfhh1959 · 61-69, M

itsok · 31-35, F
