View submission: I need reddits help
Is there anything specific you are considering, or are you just randomly pulled into those thoughts here and there by advertising/ what you see on the street/ in other people's houses?
Like sometimes we do need some stuff, especially shoes tend to just wear out. Of you do authentically need something it's completely fine to get it.
Now on the other hand if you are being influenced to shop I like to treat this like a little battle. Corporations and governments want my money, time and attention. I'm fighting for it to be mine. I'm not about to be the loser that ends up stuffing the pockets of rich guys and funding their lifestyles. Even second hand shopping now usually happens through some platform that takes it's cut or at least puts ads in front of our eyes. Not buying is an act of rebellion in a way. This is what helps me.
There's nothing here!
