Let's be honest here. Most, if not all, of us on this site has a problem. We have to deal with being materialistic. Some of us deal with it better than others. Personally, I've dealt with multiple obsessions throughout the years: shoes, basketball, music, video games, clothing
Obsessions have come and gone, but my obsession with clothing seems to proceed. Sometimes I feel lousy and stupid for caring so much about clothing because I know there's a lot more to this world than just that. Honestly, I don't have a hobby I actively participate in, so I feel as though this is my lousy excuse of a "hobby" to participate in. Don't get me wrong. I still think fashion is great.
I like thinking of acquiring clothing as a hobby because it
makes me feel a little better. However, IâÂÂd rather do something else than surf
the web all day, looking for clothes and looking at other peopleâÂÂs pickups on
YouTube. I donâÂÂt even end up buying much when I look for clothing, whether
online or in an actual store. I seem to constantly end up with the guilt when I
buy clothes, knowing that I could have used that money for a different purpose.
Many of us put so much emphasis on making ourselves look
good because it boosts our self-esteem, but it can be problematic to rely on
that too much to just to feel good. If you think about itâÂÂs akin to how girls
put on makeup and simply canâÂÂt stand being without it because they think they
look ugly without makeup.
LetâÂÂs discuss this. I really want to know what othersâÂÂ
perspectives are. Have you ever felt the same way?
