ive been shopping irl more, lol, and i realized online shopping can be this dopamine trap for me, reading reviews where if im face to face with an item i dont rly care for some online randos' reviews? i just either buy smth or not. which also leads to the thing i do w online shopping - browsing stuff i dont rly need and won't even buy for AGES, researching and comparing and then it's like why did i do this... it's just another form of scrolling. im MUCH more decisive w irl shopping, it doesn't take me ages bc i wanna get moving not just stand inside this drugstore for 5 hrs yk? but i Can spend 5 hrs (jesus) in an online drugstore and then not even order a thing lollll. also online shopping makes u wanna order more at once to pay less for shipping which is not rly good for my wallet. nah
also shopping sites having saved lists encourages buying or lusting over smth in me whereas irl there's no wishlist and my head is like blissfully empty. i think i started online shopping more when my back pain was rly bad but it's better now so i can go back to irl shopping when needed!
