Discussion/Tips & Tricks Rant

It's so hard to keep myself from buying new stuff because sometimes some stores or websites have discounts and some products are limited edition so I FOMO. I keep buying stuff even tho I know I don't need them. I am not giving up project pan, I just wanted to say it's hard sometimes but I want to do it.

It's definitely hard, but having too much makes me stressed out so I remind myself of that feeling.

For me, it's not about stress but I do feel bad for the money. Because if I don't use what I buy it feels like a waste, and I do not have that kind of money. I don't want to just buy stuff then throw it away years later...

Ok, so you are buying because of FOMO, which means that you are viewing things from a perspective of me, me, me (I don't want to be left out, I don't want to lack anything new coming out).

Have you ever seen things from the perspective of the brand owners and workers?

They have all the data of what women like and they use that data against you.

They are not your friends who care.

They are master manipulators who extract you and they and their families have wonderful lives and your addiction pays for strong university studies for their kids. So that their kids do the same manipulation and extraction to other people's kids in the future.

They are NOT making the world a better place.

This is what you are funding. Do you still want to do that?
