I’m another hate to shop person. I get an instant headache just walking in the doors…Lighting??
I only go when I absolutely have to. My mom, sister and daughter LOVE to shop! It’s their favorite past time. I’m not sure why I’m so different.

My mom does it to pass time. She’ll be 85 this month on the 19th. I think she’s a bit lonely! She doesn’t buy expensive stuff but she always has to buy something. So it is an addiction.

Shopping is by all means a form of therapy. The thrill of finding something on sale, new or just different. I know when I am having a blue day it feels so good to get something for myself. Do I really need most things, probably not. I just love looking at things that make me smile. Luckily it is usually a new book, something for my hair or sparkly earrings. Sparkly things are so cheerful!

I love to shop and always have! I hate to admit it, but I do catch myself going on little shopping sprees to help out my mood. I think for many people, yes, it is a huge problem and is an addiction. Myself, I don’t go overboard and never spend what we can’t afford. Even though we can afford it, I do feel guilty sometimes after buying the items. I hate to say it but is always clothes for my children (that they don’t really need.) I guess at least I’m not selfish.

I have gone shopping to help improve my mood. Some people can spend too much $$ on clothing to make them feel better. Shopaholics are very real!!!

I hate to shop! I only go when I have to.

I do believe that people can be addicted to shopping. I know a person that goes shopping when she’s happy, when she’s sad, because it’s Monday, because it’s Tuesday, etc!

I admit I am a shopper. I like to have nice things and have my house perfect. It’s easy to fall into Taylor’s habits of thinking that if everything looks perfect on the outside, it will be perfect on the inside too. Though it is not true, it’s a nice dream to have.

I have gone from a food addiction to somewhat of a shopping addiction. And maybe there should be therapy for it, because it’s not so easy to break.

Can’t wait to check out the new book!! Blessings to you and your family. Hope things are going better for you!!!

I always shop when I feel depressed.Don’t really need money to spend,it just feels relaxing to look around,always touching everything…lol.
But it does make me feel a lot better after a busy week.I really agree with the name retail therapy,because it works for me.

I’m not a shopper – I do it because I have to.

I do believe there are instances when shopping is an addiction and should be treated as such. Not all instances but some – definitely.
