The concept of shopaholism refers to an addiction to shopping, which is characterized by an unbridled desire to purchase goods, even if they are not needed.
People who are obsessed with shopaholism get pleasure and excitement from the process of purchasing goods, but soon after they are overcome with feelings of guilt, disappointment, or even shame.
Many people unmistakably recognize symptoms of shopaholism in themselves and try to fight it. But even persistent people give in during "Black Fridays" or Cyber Monday, which is today, January 29.
To curb this bad habit, you should first understand the root of the problem. Psychologists identify 7 reasons for shopaholism:
1. Many problems of adults are rooted in childhood. Shopaholism is no exception. If a child grows up in strictness, submission and asceticism, then, having started earning his own money, the person goes to extremes.
2. Lonely and love-needing people find a solution to their problem through shopping.
3. People who are obsessed with shopaholism are those who constantly need adrenaline.
4. Some people are simply easily influenced. Advertising creates an artificial need, manipulates emotions and desires.
5. Low level of resistance to stress.
6. Too high or low self-esteem. This is the case where two opposites intersect.
7. Another reason may be related to personal problems, which usually have a short-term impact. For example, worries about breaking up with a partner will not torment you forever, but for a while they can turn a person into a shopaholic.
