I grew up extremely poor and I still have a shopping addiction. I went most of my life not being able to beautify myself or my home so now I do it unapologetically. There’s are multiple different types of shopping addictions and why people do it.
I just finished the meditation book called "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels and it helped to calm my thoughts before shopping. I learned my attachments to clothes were very anxiety attached.
I think some of this has to do with age. I’m 35 in June. I don’t follow influencers. I also studied fashion and marketing. Worked in luxury fashion for years as a specialist and manager (Gucci, Burberry, Agent Provocateur) I find influencers over saturate the market and almost make me want it less. Other people don’t make me want something. If I like it, I buy it. Seems more, and I could be wrong, wanting to fit in, insecurity and validation. It also seems to be a lot of cheaper fast fashion. It also shows a lack of personal identity/ style if you just want it because someone has it but you wouldn’t necessarily choose it if not for the person posting it.
I know i will always be a shopping addict but i haven't bought anything useless for almost 60 days. I learned what triggers me and that shopping doesn't make me happy. I saw the full episode and the girl said: "People that are not shopping must feel miserable." No honey, WE are miserable.
Yes I have spent over 100k too on shopping. Since I was a child my parents spoiled me rotten,then I had men who will send me thousands of dollars, just because they like me most times and because they fancy me being very educated, I shop second hand designers, then I sell some of the stuff, then I give out the ones I don’t sell. I only keep the ones I’m very attached to. My shopping triggers sometimes is because I’m upset, nervous or just very happy- anything can trigger it. I don’t like people touching the items I’m very attached to though.
everyone has a addiction and takes stuff to the extreme. my addiction is trying to figure out which diet works the best even if it requires me to eat raw meat.
If u see clothes which would look on you great, its not logic to not buy them. Very difficult to stop. And the webside shoppin brings bi selection...endless. Need to be very strong to resist.
i dont really like dr phils approach here . he sux. and i call bs on her motivation being FOMO. but he is right about it being an avoidance tactic. there is some aspect of her life that she feels powerless to change, and thats where shopping comes in.

I definitely love love to shop, but I can only spend so much. Lol. But trust me, I have np shopping all day.
Have a brother in law who watches QVC ALL THE TIME and buys stuff, then asks for help to get car repaired or food.

Well said, people seeking validation of others is a disease!

If I had money I’d be addicted to online shopping too. But I have a whole $0 to my single mom self 😂

I can relate to liking to shop.
What does she do for work? How does she earn this much money to online shop every day?
I don't know, but I get a lot of second hand Lego for really, really cheap.
It’s not that much money if you’re buying inexpensive things.
@@orangeblossom5362 The little things do add up though!
@@orangeblossom5362 you’d be a terrible influence to shop addicts.
Maybe it’s bought with credit. Ie, money she doesn’t have
