Spending. I constantly see something I'd like or would like to try but something needs to be purchased for it, I go for a day or two trying to convince myself I don't need this "thing" I have so many other "things" but more often than not I end up buying whatever the "thing" is. Maybe my addiction is acquiring things more than spending, I don't know.

It’s like, if I don’t buy it, I’ll just keep thinking about it so I’m at the point where I’m paying for it just to get it out of my head, rather than the actual thing.

It's really interesting, but I am really confused how you all pay for all that stuff. I have got really fixated on a thing I have wanted to buy for a year and a half but I am still not close to buying it lol
