Talk about consumerism, criticize consumerism, talk about niche and fandom specific consumerism, talk about consoom tendencies, collections, hoards and addiction. If you are a consoomer yourself feel free to talk about it in this thread, same with people who are now reformed consoomers. And if you did get over it, tell us why or how it happened.

lot of them are genuinely collectors items because they're old and increasing in rarity/price by the day. If you like tamagotchi, getting rid of one from the mid 2000s is a bad idea let alone one from the 90s. I think it's different from having a million retarded squishmallows since tamagotchis can connect with each other and there's so many different shells and characters

I used to consoom Pokemon Go a lot, spending money on in-game coins so I can expand my Pokemon inventory and buy Raid Passes for the chance to catch Legendary Pokemon. Even bought a bluetooth autocatcher that cost 50 bucks so I didn't even have to switch on my phone screen.
The amount of time and money I wasted trying to find fake pixel animals makes me want to cry. I think I latched on to it because anyone can have it on their phone, my workplace is right in the middle of a major city with a ton of gyms, stops and spawn points, and it was also the only thing my poor overworked wageslave brain could play on the commute. Even spent some of my weekends at parks trying to hunt Pokemon with perfect stats or shinies. Only after the pandemic hit and I couldn't leave home that I realized that mindlessly walking around with my face in my phone wasn't that fun after all. Maybe I just wanted to have the strongest or the shiniest Pokemon to show off to my friends who lived out in the sticks and were still at level 17 while I was level 43.
Even then I didn't even have a fraction of the commitment some of the people I saw at some raids did. I'd see people tapping away at two, three or even up to eight phones - they'd be wearing one of those grocery store sampling trays, phones splayed out in front of them, each having their own autocatcher. Then they'd pile in a car and drive off to the next raid. Maybe that was why I kept playing for so long, in my head I thought, well at least I'm not like those people, I'm being sensible and getting exercise. But nah, now I really wish I spent that time learning something actually useful.
Every once in a while I open up the app and idly think of selling my account to recoup some of the costs. Maybe if I can get a few hundred bucks back it might be worth it.

>>1041751I've been playing it since day one and somehow still play it daily. For me it's handy because I have to buy 20 euros worth of phone credit every month in order to get a 'free texts and internet' deal so I use that spare 20 euros to buy stuff in the game. I otherwise don't know what I'd spend that credit on so it's like free money to me. I've rarely gone over that allowance.
I moved from a city to a rural area in the middle of playing and yeah it doesn't work out great here. I leave pokemon in gyms and they just sit there forever. Kick me out already, I want the coins lol. On the odd occasion where I travel to bigger towns I don't like having my head stuck in my phone so I don't even take advantage when I travel.
Basically I refuse to spend 'real money' on it and I refuse to travel somewhere cool only to then stare into my phone. It's a alright way to pass the time but not worth investing too much in.

>>1041751This game was actually good until, weirdly enough, COVID hit and after a huge success it turned into nothing but a fortnite-tier game with pay to win - all of these Ed Sheeran and co. collabs no one needs, battle passes, and such. There's no point in walking, let alone playing this game for about two years now. They kept saying how x legendaries will be time-limited one-time-only raids because of which you'd have to drive for half of an hour to find a raid location (back then), and now you can do all of this shit without raiding at all - just buy a 'bonus box' that contains everything you need. Soulless game. I only see consoomerfags and normies that never got to play it before play it.
On top of that, they never, NEVER fix their shitty bugs. There are still glitches and bugs that are from 3 years ago that they never bothered taking care of. It's not worth playing it.

>>1042507Nta but at the time I started playing I was a newly recovering agoraphobic and using the game as some sort of autists motivation to go walk places. Worked. This was back when the store didn't sell many shortcuts or special boxes.
There's something fucky about buying things to now play at home. It's already an outdoor game so the risk of covid seemed like a convenient excuse to just push more in game purchases. Just sit at home with incense on community days… set off your 3 fucking hour long incense and wait around while say in one spot, fun lol! IMO people are lazy about the walking aspect and willing to pay up to skip it. They're cashing in on that which I guess is fair but it's not how I want to play.

Am I the only one triggered by the peak cosoomerism that is cosplaying? If you can't sew you're buying premade costumes, wigs, wearing them a few times, or in some cases once if you're one of those people who always plans for new costumes. If you're a regular con goer, that can mean 3+ cosplays per con. Not to mention makeup or contacts which you need to replace regularly.
If you're crafting, it's even worse. Buying a bunch of different materials and tools, some that you may use just once in order to make one small detail on a costume. Unless you plan to resell your cosplays right away, it adds up, on top of going to cons in general and buying merch there. I have done less than 10 cosplays in my life but the consoom for those alone was enough for me to stop and never look back.

My emails are full of receipts of $0.99 purchases of 100 PokeCoins, i.e. the cost of one Raid Pass. During raid days of popular Pokemon like Mewtwo or Rayquaza, I'd keep buying Passes one raid after another thinking the next one I'll catch will be shiny or have perfect stats…
>>1042606I don't think I would feel differently, honestly. The game itself is a huge timesink if you went out of your way to minmax it. I think my approach with the game shot past what would have been considered fun into really unhealthy territory - I'd go on websites which actually show you what Pokemon encounters you can get at certain stops, then after work I'd eat some takeout and spend an hour or two walking all over town trying to catch some of the rarer Pokemon instead of going home, having a proper home-cooked meal and getting a good rest. I've spent thousands of hours in some videogames and thought all the fun was worth it but for Pokemon Go I really wish I could take all that time back.

What does this thread think of collecting knick-knacks and antiques? I recently got my own place and couldn't stand the idea of filling it up with target and kmart crap, so I started checking out antique dealers and thrift shops to find good furniture for cheap. The big pieces like couches and tables tend to be overpriced, but I've found the most amazing little trinkets while browsing in there. It's only been a month and I've already got a steady collection going, including but not limited to two little ceramic polar bears, a cat statue I'm using as a ringholder, and a set of S&P shakers shaped like snails.
I used have consoomer tendencies and this is giving me the same rush as an amazon package arriving but for different reasons. Every find feels like a victory because I actually have to go looking and put in effort to find something I like, and it feels like I'm really curating my decor. Since they're all second-hand they cost almost nothing but don't feel like (completely) worthless crap. Plus they're already here, so I don't feel guilty about my money going to junk factories in China, and most of the shops I go to are either small businesses or charities.
Would highly reccomend to any nonas struggling with consoomerism and fighting/recovering from the urge to decorate their rooms with useless crap. It's also a neat way to socialise, the shopkeepers are usually older women or retirees and sometimes I'm the only person they've seen all day, so they're alway eager to chat.

I get that safety is a big deal but this bitch keeps popping up in my fyp on insta. She basically assembles keychain from aliexpress items and sells them for 50 fkn usd and makes a living out of it. Do you really need a big ass pompom to feel safe? OFC these things are targeted towards rich yass queens, who most likely live in nice blocks, ride nice cars, have nice security measures, not to poor people who, you know, need to protect themselves like in the hood. Anyway, pink markble or blue butterflies doesnt matter, since the blood of someone will permanently stain them.

Seeing all the images of cluttered hoards makes me really glad I started selling off my collection. Used to have 70+ Monster High dolls and I whittled it down to 15. It's satisfying to realize I don't need or miss anything I sold off.
To anyone struggling with an oversized collection of your own: it's not an all or nothing scenario. And you don't have to get rid of it all at once. Find the stuff you absolutely adore and make that the standard across the rest of it. Anything that doesn't elicit a similar feeling can go.

>>1049501Selling the stuff you feel less attached to can start a snowball effect and make you recognize you don't care about the stuff collecting dust on shelves or in boxes. And once the money starts appearing in your account, it's like you're being rewarded for getting rid of your crap, so it's a win-win.
So much shit with collecting is stupid. Getting involved with any online collecting community aka the worst enablers sets you up for practically throwing your money into the garbage. Limited editions! Alternative color releases! Buy two of the same thing to keep one in box and display the other! Look how much money I've wasted, fellow hoarders! I love X, look at how much I own of X!
The good thing about waking up from consooming like this is you can usually sell off your stuff and at least make back some of your money, maybe more if your hobby has the demand for it. Really proves the Funko hoarders are bottom of the barrel stupid since those things aren't worth shit.

I never, EVER, understood the appeal of youtube/idol merch.
Let me say this: I was a teen too. I used to follow a group in my teen years and I remember going crazy over it, I used to collect cut outs and posters but one day my mom (poor thing lol) got me a shirt with the face of the group members and I was SOOO ashamed. I wore it once or twice at best, then shoved it into the back of my closet. Listen, I love me some good design choice, maybe a design that can be taken separately from the artist (my current fav group has a moon as a logo and I would buy that because then only people who know it would recognize it plus is just a moon, nice.) but people's faces, random unfunny quotes, random slangs…they cost a lot and then they get donated because people grow out of it in a few months….

You know, after losing weight and thus having to re-do my wardrobe, Vinted saved my life. Cheap, once worn, nice clothing. Doesn't really help that I'm still losing weight but oh well.
I love Vinted but obviously the yas queens gen x found it and now they're treating it at some sort of mlm scam.
When I log on, I always find follow requests and notifications and I get that following someone is a thing, especially when they have your same size so you can keep updated but dropping in my dms telling me to buy from you? Nah son. It's not a race. I always find people claiming to "OMG, I sold 300 items!!" when they're circlejerking and buying from each other. You have no idea how many times I logged in to to find a new pair of jeans and being welcomed by a message of some rando saying "Hey baby, I have 50% off today!" or "Hey hun, today I've got these jeans!" because if you sell, Vinted most likely puts your stuff up in the feed.
Leave me alone, there's already depop for scamming people. I wish social media were more aggressive towards spam. Also, I've found some MLMs fucking products there, claiming to be "beauty packages". Sick.

>Disney(overall as a brand) consoomers tend to mostly women of various age ranges and ethnicities
>Star Wars consoomers are males 35+ and mostly white, the only substantial females are the Reylo shippers(who now have also branched into stanning Hayden Christensen)
>MCU is rare mixed bag which appeals to pretty much to various groups at once depending on the exact film/series
>Pokemon is also interesting, the anime seems to attract women and sane with with the games however the hardcore/professional Pokémon players will be male(likely autistic) and the casual players women and girls
>sneakerheads, age range also varies, mostly black males but also quite a high number of asians as well

Small Businesses are peak consoomerism. People don't buy it for the actual need of the items, they buy stuff deluding themselves into supporting people who can't get a normal job.
Almost everything in these small businesses is not necessary and unoriginal. People are out there shitting on Etsy shop that dropship but aren't these the same fucking thing? They buy aliexpress shit in a bulk and then resell.
Slime?
Goes bad after a month, is expensive and pollutes
Phone cases?
You can make your own for basically free.
Lipglosses?
Do these people actually have a health and danger certificate? (eng is not my main lang so bear with me) DO they list the ingredients? All I saw was people buying clear formula and then putting glitter in it and labelling them as "Anime Inspired" lmao what the hell
Crystals?
Go to a local shop, it's prettier, maybe a bit more expensive, but in the long run it would cost less than paying a random girl who buys from aliexpress shipping and stuff.
Safety keychains?
Those things do not protect at all. They're cluttered, so you have to pray you don't get attacked, before you can access the pepper spray under the pompon, cute charms and such.

I have got into doll collecting recently and it's making me anxious. I'm collecting Rainbow High, which kind of makes me want to get every doll so I have the whole rainbow uguuu. But I really do not want to let it get to a point of picrel. I have already decided I will only get "main series" dolls to keep it somewhat under control. But I do think I should just sell them all because this is fucking insane.
I also have a shitload of art supplies for customizing the dolls, a HUGE dollhouse etc. I love the crafting but it does make me feel bad for being such a fucking consoooomer tool

Money are for spending, I promise you're not gonna sit there at 88 years old and be happy that you have a big ass pile of money you never used.
I also don't like it when collections are too cluttered so I've decided to not have complete collections of anything and only get the pieces I really like. If they're from the same series it will still look cohesive but let the individual pieces stand out more.

>>1066028I did this but specifically for clothing! It felt very fulfilling to complete, and has helped me reset my priorities when it comes to clothing. I used to feel like I didn't have enough clothes, especially work clothes, and was hyper aware of what people wore because I was worried about being judged for rewearing clothes a lot. I had to put a lot of my clothes away in a storage unit for 10+ months because of a bedbug infestation (don't ask why it was for so long, also I still don't have a chunk of my wardrobe back) so I was limited to a total of about ~15-20 clothing pieces including tops, bottoms, dresses etc. And no one cared! No one cared at all!
I have a habit of "saving" nice clothes for only nice occasions, but now I'm trying to wear them more. Every day is a nice occasion. I bought this dress, I'm going to wear it.
I've also become
very picky about the clothes I buy. During my no-buy year, I would only occasionally window shop or browse online to limit the temptations, but after a while I found that I didn't really like a lot of the clothes. Certainly not enough to break my no-buy streak! There were very, very few pieces that I almost bought, but now I can't even remember them. Maybe the latest fashion trends just aren't to my taste, but a lot of stuff is very mediocre. Going forward I intend to wear my clothing to shreds, try buying natural fiber clothing as much as I can, making my own clothing, and and shopping only from small/handmade businesses. I know this last bit means shelling out at least a 6 month clothing supply from shein for a single piece of clothing, but I only want things that are well made and I intend to only buy clothes once or twice every few months.

>>1066804It just hurts their skin in the long run, which makes them buy more products to fix the problem and the cycle repeats.
A good thing to know is that your body is very reactive. If you strip your skin of the good natural oils it will react by going into an overproduction of oil to replace it all to make sure it will have surplus ready if it happens soon again, hence producing a lot more than it normally would. If you moisturize every day your body will notice that you already have a surplus and will react by stopping it's own production of it, leaving you dryer than usual. In both cases you mess up the natural production for the worse. Your body is quicker to react than to go back to normal productions afterwards, but it does eventually go back to normal if you just stop using the products.
It's as simple as "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Get treatment for your cystic acne, of course. Moisturize your dry skin, when it is dry. If your skin is fairly neutral and just has a hormonal pimple now and then chances are that you don't need to exfoliate it and strip it of natural protective fats and oils and replace those with perfumed irritating skin care products every other day. Sleep + healthy eating will do far more good and cost way less.

>>1067891Yes and No. In the short term (less than 6 months) tretinoin thins the skin. Past 6 months it thickens the skin. But you need to get your skin fully retinized. Lots of people are either not good candidates for it or are too skimpy with how often they use it so their skin never gets fully retinized and their skin is stuck in that stage where it is thinned and never get to the point where the tretinoin works to thicken it. If you keep up with longevity/aging research scene scientists are coming to think that aging doesn't necessarily happen at a steady, constant, gradual rate. So when people anecdotally say that they looked the same age for years and suddenly over the course of weeks or months, seemed to age years all at once, their experience is getting backed up by researchers in the field. I think this provides a confound, people start using tretinoin at the onset of this experience and attribute it to the tretinoin when they were already losing that facial fat due to natural aging.
With all that said though there are definitely anecdotes that give me pause and I've been trying to collect examples, it seems like there is a type of person where the tret definitely damages their skin and it can't be explained away by anything else. They tend to have really bad reactions to the tret in general and had sensitive skin to begin with and were often fair skinned as well. They react badly to the tret from the outset and the negative effects are visible within weeks. I think people with sensitive skin should stay away from it. If I had to hazard a guess I think the tretinoin causes inflammation that leads to apoptosis of the fat cells. Vitamin C serums, niacinamide cream, and perhaps EGF serums or topical hormones and botox would be safer. I think the sort of person to have a bad reaction to tretinoin would also have a bad reaction to laser facials and microneedling from what I've gathered.

I have had consoomer tendencies ever since I was little. Back then it was collecting toys, plushies, art supplies, just colorful stuff that was nice to display and look at. When I got older it morphed into what I tried to excuse as a necessary shopping but now I recognize was a consoom all along. Body care products, clothes, accessories, food - I currently have five different body creams because what if I run out suddenly? These boots I have are so comfy and go along with many of my outfits so well, I better go and buy another almost identical pair or better yet, two pairs. No I can't stand having only one coconut milk can in my pantry despite most recipes calling for only one can, I have to have several at all times. I tried to argue with myself it's okay because I will eventually use up all these things which I guess is true, but I'm done. Recent political happenings switched something in my brain and I lost all interest in buying excessive things. I already started throwing out some old stuff and want to go on a strict no-buy until at least the end of this year. I have everything I could possibly need for a simple frugal lifestyle.
Sorry for blogposting, but I feel like writing it down like this will hold me more accountable. I have a lot of unnecessary but sentimental crap that will be difficult to get rid of, even looking at it makes me uncomfortable because I don't want it to waste space anymore yet I will miss it so much when it's gone.

skincare is the perfect consoomer hobby. there is always a new product, new packaging, a fridge for your products, shelving for all your products, mirrors, lights, products to make your other products 'work better', and even if none of it works and your skin only gets worse, you can always blame it on the fact that you somehow did it wrong or your skin just didnt perform correctly so you should try a different product that claims to do something else. and they are all little jars of goop. it is endless. this is the future.

SPF 50 is a meme, there is almost no difference between the two beside the price. Second, a lotion is better than a spray, you don't want to breath it since some sunscreens contain nanoparticles. Finally buy a brand that you can trust, you don't want to end up wearing sunscreen for nothing.

I've always liked to keep a clutter free home but I was in a relationship a few years ago where I ended up in the opposite. Financially I was better off living with him but I felt bored, empty and uphappy for most of the relationship. He would buy me small things all the time and initially I didn't think of it as anything more than a nice gesture but.. it never slowed down. Even when things turned bad.
Things kept going downhill, he wasn't very fair or emotionally mature in alot of ways but he'd bring me out for lunch, pay for more of our shared expenses and… was always buying me small shit and looking at me wantng to see my excitement. Night and day. Now I'm not a collector of things but I ended up with all this useless crap, toys, figures, there were funko pops at one point because they're an easy thoughtless gift to give to someone. All these figures and lil nik naks that I never would've bought for myself just accumulated in no time. We'd go to arcades and he'd win me multiple toys in one visit. It was too much of a good thing. I felt like I was being reimbursed for the youth I wasted on him (he was older) and the emotional chore of dealing with his anger issues. I would often think 'he doesn't act like he cares but then he spends all this money so he must?' I wrestled with mixed thoughts on what his motivation was when spending on me.
It was only towards the end that the hoard of arcade prizes and cheap plastic shit from gamestop really fucking bugged me. Waking up to it made me face the mess that was us. I felt like I couldn't downsize the collection because he bought it with his money.. it'd be rude and would likely cause an argument. I had long learnt to walk on eggshells with him. In the end I escaped the whole hoard and the guy. I know sometimes men love to rub 'I paid for x and y' in your face but tbh no amount of stuff makes up for an unhappy home life or the shit he did to you the night before. Ultimately I think it was an attempt to keep me feeling indebted to him. To get me to ignore major issues we had. I left with less stuff than I had when I met him and I was just glad to walk away feeling that much lighter.

Especially cause of the whole glass skin trend before it boomed here in burger land
Eventually I realized I couldn’t hoard skincare like I did makeup when I was younger bc of expiry dates! At least with makeup like eyeshadow I’m not too like concerned I guess with the shelf life, especially since palettes are so expensive, but with skincare I realized I was holding onto all the masks and serums that outlived their shelf life and wondered why they weren’t working or having reaction on my skin.
But same now I just have one face wash, an exfoliating face scrub cause I have oily skin so I can’t stand feeling dead skin on my nose and chin, and a toner. The only serums I indulge in now are just two the ordinary serums and the chemical peel serum from them and my skin has been chilling lol

It's too easy to shit on funko pop but I hate more the cult of it, instead of the actual object.
Funko collectors can't just buy one funko, they need whole sets and Funko knows how much they're retarded and cultish, so they will release sets after sets, sometimes with the same characters, just to see them basically printing money.
Funkos can't be out of the box.
Funkos must take at least a wall in your house.
We should really tax the cost of plastic for this shit.

Ty the beanie baby/beanie boo brand is now making 'squish a boos' which are another bland and lazy copy of mallows. Selling them in a range of sizes to compete. The bigger they are the plainer they get too.
I was placing an order lately and needed something small to qualify for free shipping so I ordered a lil 4 inch one. The minis at least have the same glittery eyes as beanie boos but then the larger sizes don't even have the glitter eyes? I guess it's because the plastic eyes would take away from it being a cushion but.. they all look so same-ish when you remove the one feature that made them a recognizable ty product. Not a fan of how everything is becoming a blob with dots for eyes.

i have been enjoying these #sundayreset videos lately, something about the stop-motion editing style and watching things be cleaned is satisfying to me. i do find them mildly motivating too. but they are also conspicuous consoomerism to the max. every video is exactly the same. everyone has the same items, the same routine, the same house deco style. the samsung washer and dryer set. the iced coffee in a starbucks cup. those plastic bins in their fridge. conspicuously buying fruits and veggies and putting them in little containers. the thing that stands out to me the most though is that everyone has white sheets. what happened to fun colors for your bedsheets? why does everyone's apartment have to look like a gray hotel? it kind of creeps me out, the uniformity. when you can peek into peoples' lives like this you should be seeing variety, the messiness of the human condition, instead everyone looks the same, owns the same things, does the same thigns in the same order with their routine. and let's be real these videos are mostly made by and for young adult women. the trend of trying to be 'that girl' is so obsessive and encompassing that there is no room for variation whatsoever.

Anyway, Americans like to show off fresh fruit because to them, especially to bougies, it means you can conduct an almost luxury lifestyle, but since they cannot really preserve it or consume it in decent amounts, they have to put it in water in the fridge.

I thought about making a thread for toy collecting but maybe it overlaps a bit too much with this?
I visit the one on 4chans /toy/ but god do I hate the moids. Always whining when fashion dolls are not sexy enough for them. There's also a schitzo with an obsession for short haired women, as her "militant feminazi lesbian" mom forced her to have a practical haircut as a kid. So now she is the ultimate pick me, hating those damn wokie wamen having short hair. A moid is constantly whining about not being able to get women because he collects barbies, despite been told time and time again there would most likely be many women wanting to share a doll hobby with a significant other.
Ok, rant over. That place just really activates my almonds from time to time. Thankfully there is at least one person telling scrotes to fuck off, if you are here I love you bby! Unironically Reddit is also pretty good for doll stuff, since it's just autistic women mostly and a minimal amount of politics.

>>1099587>b-but what about, uuuuh…..You talk like you think you know any of us. Wallace and Gromit is ugly but it's not MEANT to be cute, for one. Try a better comparison with older Pixar movies or 2D western movies, I'd rather binge watch 90s Disney movie or French animation than touch this red panda shit with a ten foot pole. The character design is ugly in a "non-offensive and non-
problematic doodles from a teenage tumblr artist who draws on her notebooks during class in high school" way AND the facial expressions, body languages and behavior of the characters are so obnoxious and exaggerated I want to teleport myself to the movie's setting and bitch slap all the charcter. It's as annoying as watching kawaii uwu Kyoani series with normal movements being way too detailed for not reason whatsoever to make the female characters look cute, sinve you mentioned anime. It's like the designers and animators tried to hard to use some lolsorandum humor and utterly failed. Anyone who think this is a "relatable" movie for teenage girls are insulting teenage girls as a whole because not everyone is an obnoxious retard like the MC. I'm just saying this based on the many trailers I've seen, I'll watch it later this week.
>If Arale and Ghibli characters were 3d, they’d look exactly like the TR girl.Yeah, I think Ghibli tried to make a 3d movie recently and everyone hated how it looked, and rightfully so. Terrible example, once again. As for Akira Toriyama in general, I won't complain about his art style because it looks like he knows how to draw and his designs for Dragon Quests 3D games seem ok to me. But then again, video games and animated movies are very different.

I hate witch consoormerism so so much. I hate how spirituality has turned into materialism, that's not what it's about at all. Even if your altar has just two candles and a smudge stick, it's your intention and trust in mother nature that counts. blog but I was scared to get big into spirituality for years because I thought I'd have to buy so much stuff which I didn't have the money for and din't fully know how to use. I've finally set up an alter recently and the only thing I had to buy were smudge sticks, candles, a few candleholders and dishes which cost me next to nothing at the thrift store.

I consoomed alot in my late teens and twenties, and as a result I had alot of stuff that I stopped using or wasn't interested in anymore when I hit 30. Especially since I wear uniform 5 days a week most of my clothes and shoes hadn't seen light in years.
For the past three weeks I've taken time out of my day to take out everything I haven't used for a long time and probably will never use, and figures/trinkets/kawaii shit and other junk I have no interest in anymore. I've gotten rid of most of it (trash, donate, sell) and my room feels so much nicer with all this space I have now.

Will make saving money so much easier, even though I still plan to spend on clothes, concert tickets, books (I download most via b-ok.cc, but some I want to have on my shelf or aren't available as ebooks) etc. It feels good to no longer obsess over random things that my mind comes up with! It also feels weird to not give a fuck about something that gave me joy and was important for a long time.
I'm also the anon who has wondered about giving up/selling plushies
>>1060466. I haven't done anything by the time the Ukraine war hit, so I was able to give them away for the immigrant children. IDK what to do with the rest of my stuff, like G3 My Little Pony. I'm not super attached to them (contrary to G1/G2 - those are staying with me and I may buy a G1 or two in the future when I'm feeling nostalgic and sure it will not jumpstart consooming), but I don't want to sell them for next to nothing. I have considered renting a storage for all the clutter I'm not set on selling yet. Same with dolls - I probably LOVE LOVE only a half of my collection, but I'm not ready to make any decision. I'm not exactly in the right headspace, to be honest.
I know that it's a waste of money, but I'm considering renting a storage. It's not THAT expensive, and maybe some distance would help me decide if I want to keep those things or not (and if I want to sell them, what should be the starting price).
I no longer have the urge to consoom, but I still feel connection to some of my posessions or they bring me visual pleasure. I could probably get rid of most of them, but… yeah. Too much of a hassle and an emotional strain when I have plenty at the moment.

>>1113199Anon, how much stuff do you have in your home that you're thinking of getting rid of? Is it really enough for a storage unit? One thing that has helped me downsize has been setting things aside in a box in a closet (only works if you have room, though) and then seeing how it feels to have those things out of sight. If I don't miss them or need them after 30 days, I sell or donate them. If you have the space I'd try something like that first before spending more money on storage. But I definitely think getting some distance from your belongings helps, as long as you don't fill the space with new stuff.
Good for you for donating your plushies and prioritizing on what you want to spend money on, though. That feels like great progress and I'm happy some kids in needs can get some comfort from the plushies. Personally I think things like books and music (especially digital) are a great substitute for buying physical items to collect. I don't think you'll regret spending money on experiences like concerts, either.
No. 1113311
>>1113239The storage units are super cheap, like $20 for a month of using the smallest one (which still gives you a lot of space). I'm living in an cluttered flat, about to move (not chosen a place yet so IDK about space). I have a lot of my items in boxes anyway, but it may help to not have them around. I also don't want the next place to be as cluttered as this one.
A storage will also give me a place to store my anime figure and appliance boxes (question, do other people keep those when buying a vacuum cleaner? I'm not sure if I can get rid of them no problem).
Still kind of stressing about keeping Vs selling items, though some certainly should be resold if I want to get rid of them (90s Barbie dolls, for example).

Call me a tard but I'm a functional adult with childhood neglect in my past, all the way down to medical neglect and lifelong physical affects it left me with. I often see extreme examples of "I'm an adult toy collector and proud" and I cringe but I also have my own lil nagging voice in me that spots kid crap and wants it. I understand the driving force behind it but refuse to go crazy wth it as a cope. I keep it small and cheap. When I lived with an ex he would indulge my liking of plushies too much and I wasn't complaining at the time but I don't want my living space to be like that again.
These fucking things though lol. Any time I go near a mystery type toy or egg it's always expecting a lil licensed figure. You also expect that it'll be of questionable quality but that's almost part of the fun… I got a lil nub of a crayon instead?? That's just cruel. No child would even be happy with that. Where's my shitty figure? kek

Reading this thread and watching some documentaries recently has given me the motivation to finally get my shit together. I knew consumerism was bad but I never considered I was part of the problem because I never did those big ass shein hauls that got tossed a week later. I went through my bathroom and am throwing away (or recycling/giving away, if able) all the shit I thought I would need one day or I could fix. I used to be such a makeup hoarder and the fact that I’ve hung onto to much of it for so long is embarrassing, especially considering I’ve had this shit for years and most of it is expired.

>>1120617> delayed gratificationWhat I do is I make a list on my phone or an online wishlist and, if I don’t actually need the item, I’ll try and let it sit on the list as long as possible. If I still want it after a while then it isn’t an impulse buy and thus not a waste of money.
> I take photos of cute shit I would be tempted to impulse buyI also do this. I would rather be a photo hoarder on my phone where it’s all digital and easy to manage than in real life. It’s similar to the delayed gratification; this also helps me avoid impulse buys. Plus I could always try to make the item at home with stuff I already have. Anytime I have really sentimental items but I’m trying to declutter, taking a photo also helps. I make a little sentimental folder on my phone and it gives me the peace of mind to get rid of it
> binge eatingI also struggle with binge eating. Most of my binges are in the evening/at night. try to set a reasonable time that you stop eating at 2-3 hours before bed. I’ve been doing it for a while and now I’m nauseous in the morning if I eat too close to my bedtime, which makes me not want to do it again. If certain foods
trigger your binge eating, stop buying them. I’ve tried so many things to stop binging on those certain foods but nothing has worked for me beyond not buying them anymore. My
trigger foods are not healthy and it doesn’t sound like yours are not either, so I say focus on cutting them out of your diet. If you’re ever tempted to buy it, ask yourself if you’re really okay with eating x amount in one sitting and remember how shitty you’ll feel physically and mentally.
I personally have an issue with clothes. I have a lot of cute outfits, but when I moved to my current city I stopped going out because… I have yet to make any friends. I don’t want to get rid of them so recently I’ve been trying to dress up a bit more when I leave for little things like getting groceries. I’ve noticed it helping my self esteem and making me more social, too. Who would’ve thought not dressing like a homeless guy anymore would’ve made me more confident…

-put pictures in it

-mini sewing kit
-if you like painting, put some paint in it
-idk add some magnets and stick it on your fridge
If you genuinely can not find a way to repurpose it, snap some cute pictures of it and do yourself a favor: toss it. You don’t have to hold onto everything you like and, no offense, you kind of seem like you have a hoarder mentality for holding onto it just because it’s ~pretty~ despite a majority of people thinking of it as trash.

I wonder how much skincare is too much?
How much of anything really is too much?
I feel bad spending money on skincare since I am a radfem, but I have really problematic skin and pimples just hurt (I also skin-pick because of muh schizo brain and having bloodied gashes in your face isn't fun)
I have two moisturizers (handcream I was gifted and all-purpose aloe), one face wash, acne cream and serum from the same anti-acne affordable line, a couple of natural lip balms and I still think that's too much. I occasionaly do masks or peels and it just feels like a huge waste of product, money and time.
My anti-acne regimen is affordable, simple and effective, but it comes in packaging like a box that is 8 times the size of the serum/cream that is wrapped in all this extra plastic and has extra cardboard inlays. Literally for what reason. It's plastic bottles, they rarely ever break.
I also have one ikea billy bookshelf full (not to the brim, but still quite tight) of books and one of dolls and bones I collect. Otherwise I am quite minimal, but my hobbies make me feel like I am a biggest consoomer. I always downsize my hoards immidiately when I see something unnecessary (sell on our version of craigslist, give away to friends, no-buy groups or charity shops) but I still feel like I have too much of everything and it makes me quite sad.

They reminds me of thse "black rich tiktok" girls videos where a bunch of black women show the hotels where they stay when traveling and their high end brand shoes and purses with the exact same background music and speeches about how black women should have a right to be consumers (not racebaiting, it's really the name given to these videos, and I agree that you should treat yourself from time to time but these videos are always excessive). They also remind me of that cliche you see in Japanese pop culture about salarymen and office ladies having horribly boring lives, spending most of their time at the office, eating cheap crap from the nearby conbini, drinking way too much alcohol during nomikai, doing a shit load of unpaid overtime work and only getting a few paid holidays after one year of work at their shitty company, but somewhat shown in a positive way this time because it's filmed in NYC and not in Tokyo. I've seen a bunch of comparisons to American Psycho but I haven't watched the movie nor read the book so I'm definitely missing something here.

https://twitter.com/coldhealing/status/1509988928325300224>>1122108>I feel bad spending money on skincare since I am a radfemSkincare isn't makeup, it's about being clean, not about making yourself prettier to please passerbys around you and coworkers at te office. I gave up on makeup because of the mandatory mask thanks to COVID combined with my usual laziness but I keep taking care of my skin because I always look disgusting with a lot of blackheads and acne during my periods. I just keep a cleanser for daily use, some clay mask to use once a week, a moisturizer, and that's it. I have a lot of different lipbalms though but I use them often so it doesn't feel like a waste. I hate that the most effective one I've used is from Fenty Beauty, it's expensive.
>but my hobbies make me feel like I am a biggest consoomer.I have the same bookshelf and it's also filled with a bunch of manga and video games, and that's after selling more than half of what I had. As long as you know you'll reread the books you have I'd say it's fine. I'm personally thinking about selling even more books but just a few ones.

>>1120617In regards to the delayed gratification, specifically regarding impulse purchases, the way I try to approach things I want to buy is "if I keep thinking about this impulse buy, even for a prolonged period of time, it's still an impulse buy" because I have never stopped thinking about it. Of course I still want it, of course I've been constantly thinking about it in my head! I think some things are okay, but I've seen many friends say "well I still want it after 6 months so I'm going to get it" but yeah you've been thinking 6 months straight about it, you've been determined to have it since day one. I try to forget about whatever I want to impulse buy, and if I happen to remember it and it's still available, then sure I'll get it because I've had a long enough period of time where my mind was clear from thinking about it so I can go back with a clearer mind of whether I want it or not. There have only been a handful of things where I still regret not buying them years later, but it's a small handful compared to all the shit I wanted to impulse buy, didn't impulse buy, and don't regret not having.
I did this recently with a cute tote bag I saw and kept remembering every once in a while. When I finally decided to go back and get it, the price went up a few dollars and the bag was a lot thinner than I remembered it being (it was probably like that all along). I ended up not purchasing it in the end and now I don't regret it lol.

Not sure if you're a burgerfag, but Target's storebrand flavored seltzer has sucrose in it so it's actually a bit sweet and made the transition from full on sugary drinks to seltzer easier. But now I just drink flavored seltzer with no added sugar and can't stand the taste of sucrose in it. If you don't like carbonation then I'm not sure what to do, I love carbonation lol. Someone once recommended watering down juices to me. I usually do this with cranberry or grape juice but I haven't tried it with other juices (not sure if I'd even like it).
Also, when I was a poor college student, I'd buy myself a bottle of a sweet drink and have a few small sips after my dinner or whatever as a dessert. I have a huuuuuge sweet tooth but I found that this was a good way to both enjoy a bit of sugar without overindulging, while also not having to buy a new sweet every day. Pouring out a small portion into a cup may help if you can't help but drink the entire bottle if you have it out. I wouldn't encourage buying a small cup only for this, but I do have a small cup I really like that I now mainly use for sweet drinks since it's a good portion between satisfying but not overindulging.

Same with someone who collects a bunch of film shit to give off the impression to someone who enters their home that they're a film nerd.
People who actually read or are actually into their hobbies probably have a hoard of related shit too, but I think a lot of it, especially when posted online, is disingenuous. There's having a collection for your autistic hobby that brings you actual joy, versus curating a collection to fit an image you want to project. The line can be blurred, and is blurred (you can call a book hoarding autist a poser or a disingenuous booktuber someone who truly enjoys books) so it just depends. I think a lot of people do need to realize that they may be collecting things to influence how they want to be perceived, rather than out of true love for the thing they've collected so much of for. People need to be introspective about their intent when they buy things, rather than to consume mindlessly and for the aesthetic, which I feel like is the norm these days. A little bit of the latter (indulging for aesthetics sake) is okay, now it is just the overwhelming majority reasoning that fuels people consumption of material goods. Sometimes I'm willing to pay a premium for a prettier version of something, because I know it will make me so much happier to see it and use it, but most times the bland alternative will do just fine.
I have always been fucking weird about inanimate objects, and I sometimes feel sad when some of my things are left to gather dust somewhere. It feels like these items live in perpetual limbo, brought into existence and forced to live it in with no purpose. When items are properly used and loved, or displayed and cherished, it feels like they are getting to fulfil their purpose, rather than to sit in the background of some girl's tiktoks for 3 seconds. This last part is fucking weird but I've always thought this way about inanimate objects, pls no bully lol

>>1121692I know the other anons mean well but seltzer water is so bland and has barely any flavor. Give Zevia a shot. Ymmv it's the same deal where some people hate it some love it, but for me it tastes great and close to real soda. In fact the real deal tastes overly sweet and gross to me now. There are a bunch of different flavors so if one doesn't work move on to the next! They're flavored by plant-based stevia which has 0g sugar and 0 carbs so it's completely guilt free.

>>1123003maybe for the little lalaloopsies, build or find a mini shelf or some doll chairs or benches to sit them on? could also use stuff like poster putty to stick them sitting up.
>my dolls are not exactly a collection, they're characters from stories I used to write as a kid/teen/young adult. So they're like… friends? People that I know? Extra beings that live inside my head? I do not exactly pick their appearance and mobility aids (I already mentioned I am a schizo lmao, this is mainly the way how I am one)don't call yourself schizo, of course you're attached to dolls that represent characters of yours, especially if you made them when young. you may or may not be willing to let them go in the future and that's fine if you have the space. my suggestion would be if you tire of seeing them out in the open, maybe setting them up to sit in a closet so you can still seem them and aren't in boxes or you cycle in and out which dolls are on display. more shelf space would mean you could pose them or use furniture to create scenes.

Thank you to the anon who posted the book rec for "Why We Shop and How to Stop". I've slowly been working through it, and it's been quite helpful. I'm about to make it through my first no buy week and I'm really proud of myself, I've been really cutting back.
I don't over buy on beauty items or skin care, I only buy one specific kind of item, Liz Lisa dresses. I don't buy modern Western fashion or literally anything else right now. Only clothes. I recently got nicer hangers because it was just grinding my gears that my dresses kept slipping off my hangers. I ordered a 65 pack of hangers and ran out which means I have over 65 dresses. I realized I have to come to grips with this and get it together. While I do wear them every day, and I do bargain shop, I'm running out of room and it's getting to more of a horde rather than a collection.
It's just so difficult because they bring me such joy, I love looking at them, I love wearing them. Like I guess I get a mini high buying them? But nothing compares to putting together a fire outfit. I just feel so trapped sometimes, I'm autistic and this is my special interest and makes me so genuinely happy, but it also makes me feel like such a tard at the same time because I know inanimate objects shouldn't bring me such profound joy.
Picrel is Emi's closet, but mine is similar. My clothes, bag, shoes, jewelry, etc take up pretty much my entire room and I display them similarly.

I hate art supply consoomerism. I remember this used to be very prevalent with copic markers, and god I can't stand it. They just buy the new thing because it's cool and trendy, and 5 million colors of paint too! At least buy some primary colors, learn to mix and see if you like them before spending I don't know how much on things you're never going to use. The only thing I get is Microns and other non-refillable pens. But I've been using just the same watercolor palette, some ballpoint pens for sketching and a variety of brush pens for about 6 years and I'm fully satisfied. These people really care more about buying plastic crap than actually making art, it pisses me off.

i need help. my closet is looking like this every week, and i can't get rid of clothes. four seasons, weight fluctuations, style combinations and all have me trapped with a ton of clothes.
at least i don't buy new anymore (it used to be much worse, like, shopping monthly). my clothes are everywhere. i also feel guilty for selling or donating clothes i barely worn, so i am waiting for some of them to fit me again or be in season (can't wear jackets during the summer, can't wear shorts during the winter). it is embarrassing because i do not have the space to hold all of them. my mother is also hoarding clothes so we trade them instead of getting rid of them. maybe if i was rich in a mansion it wouldn't be embarrassing to spend 80% of my free time folding and rearranging them so i can still see the floor.

off-topic artsperging
These illustrations are ugly in a nonartistic way. For
>>1137446 and
>>1137472, I can understand why they would be garish and ugly. It's trying to criticize consoomerism, gotcha. But then you have
>>1137473 and
>>1137481, which disappoint me because now I realize that the art is just ugly. Some artists have a problem where they look at models/reference images to the point where they look stiff and lifeless. I wish I could explain it better, but my point is that the models look traced (and I'm not a gal who throws that claim onto every art piece). The subject matter of these last two pieces is also embarrassing to me. Take a look at
>>1137481. The redhead has a leaf in her mouth, and has a potted succulent resting on top of her butt. This is just embarrassing. In my opinion, it is not cute nor funny. Another example
>>1137473, this piece, to me, is trying to call to destroy the beauty industry (burning magazines, scattered products). However, what the women in this photo are wearing is popular, at least among zoomers. The message is a bit lost to me. I have to give this artist credit though because the coloring is suberb. Bright colors and wacky patterns are my weakness. The props in the background are extremely detailed, which, as an beginner artist, I know how time consuming that process is. The images have a grainy texture that looks like paper, so I assume these are done traditionally. If so, these pieces are exceptionally skilled because damn, I have never seen cleaner linework.

>>1137446>>1137472As an artist I actually really like these. They remind me of those “cluttered”, semi-sexualized Pinterest drawings female artists make but with realistic women instead of anime girls surrounded by cutesy clothes and food. It also blatantly looks like a woman drew them and not a man. They’re definitely not something I would buy, ever, but I can appreciate her skills/work and I it’s a pretty blatant and tragic reflection of how modern consoomerism brainwashes women. Don’t take it so personally if you find it mean-spirited.
