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.

I fucking hate youtuber merch. I have youtubers and streamers that I actually really like to watch because I think their content is good, but the merch is awful. I'm tired of graphic tees and graphic sweaters. Those YooTooz are probably the most criminally offensive things I've ever seen and I hate that one of my favorite streamers basically only has that as his merch. Awful. A lot of their graphic printed shit just screams 2006 hot topic anime shirt garbage to me. I hate the need to show to the world that you're a fan of XYZ.

Although I’m not an uber capitalist, as a person who usually listened to audiobooks and borrowed books from my library mostly, I feel like vid rel is blaming their inability to stop consooooming social media and books more so on capitalism rather than themselves. Although capitalism enables and supports businesses to create consoooomer mindsets into their customers, I believe it’s ultimately the decision of the customer to chose to become a consooooomer, and relieves the burden of responsibility consoooomers have for themselves

If someone reads 50 pages every day they can read 52 350-page books in a year. It takes people about 1-1.5 hours to read 50 pages depending on the book and their reading level. There are people who truly don't have that amount of time to spare for reading but there are also many people who waste at least 1 hour on social media every day. If they choose to prioritize reading over scrooling for 1 hour everyday they can read a lot in a year.

I don't entirely really agree. It's near impossible to be perfectly sustainable. You can stand up for sustainability and still admit; hey there's some things I can't be perfect at. Not to mention that word would never get out if people who stand up for sustainability weren't allowed to use technology because technology is inherently unsustainable. I would've never tried to be somewhat more concious of what I consume if I hadn't come across zero waste and minimalist videos on youtube. As been said before, we need many people practicing sustainability to their ability, not a small group doing it without fault.

I have a collection of around ~20 tamagotchis and I've been collecting since childhood (both eng and jpn) and when I have time I run them on a rotation, usually 2 at a time. To be fair a 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

there's stores in my country where you have to take your own containers and have them filled! they're literally called "unpackaged (goods) stores". you bring all your containers and they fill it with rice, pasta, flour, sugar, oats, etc. that way you can avoid plastic packaging and stuff like that. it's super annoying to haul all your stuff around though… and i'm betting picrel is not that way because the owner goes to a zero waste store for their pasta kek

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.

I'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.

This 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.

Nta 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.

Do you think if you'd spent less or no money on the game, you might feel differently? I fall into this "I could be doing something useful right now" mindset a lot and I struggle with identifying whether the guilt I feel is proportional to what I'm actually doing. We only have so much free time to learn new things, but sometimes just having fun doing something is ok. The exception of course is if the time you spent playing was cutting into your studies or something.

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.

Two years playing before COVID hit and I might have spent a few hundred dollars with all the raid passes, ticketed events, transport costs, battery pack, autocatcher, all that. 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…

>>1042606
I 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 own all my furniture second-hand from my granmas, except the sofas as those are better bought new for hygiene concerns. I get your hype, anon.

I have quite a few little sentimental items from my grandmother (she def over collected a lot of things) but I see it as if it means something to you and wasn't bought on a whim to fill space its okay to have a few things like this (just don't let your house look like a Goodwill)

Is collecting for the sake of collecting enough of a utility, if its like one of your hobbies? Like I like to collect these little sculptures by a local artist, and also cat figures. But I try and limit the amount I have because I don't want it to be all cluttered, I can't really appreciate them that way. I try not to get any new ones unless I've decided to get rid of old ones. I pick a few of them every year or so and donate them and then get new cuties to display. When I buy figures and stuffed toys I also try and learn about them, that's where the hobbyist part would come in I guess.

it's horrifying since if you play those, you are pretty much pushed to buy more and more cards every few months since the playing format changes. I know that there's is like one or two for people that want to play old cards (at least in MTG), but they are not as popular as playing new sets.

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.

Selling 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.

>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

As a kid I discovered copics and my dad very kindly paid for a big ass set for me, one of the 72 market sets. It was like $350.

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.

All the packaging and freebies is what really gets me, especially. Semi-blog, but I take handmade commissions and I only ever shipped my packages in cardboard boxes with nothing but the order itself inside (My commissions aren't fragile). Not even a business card because I figured "these people already know who I am and how to reach me." Then someone I know started an online store and spent a bunch of money and time on packaging and freebies and it made me question if I was running my business wrong. But really this crap is superfluous, just give people what they ordered and leave it at that. Freebies are usually just extra junk anyway.

i agree but these small-business sellers dont buy their crystals from aliexpress because its too expensive to bulk buy (and they are starting to avoid alibaba too) so they are starting to buy from even more sus and low-quality sources.

There are genuine crystals on aliexpress, the actual scam is not the crystal but your order never arriving, getting a smaller quantity than you payed for, getting a different crystal etc etc.

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 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.

As usual it's short term gain for long term loss. Tret seems to have taken off, but it dissolves the fat in your face and makes your skin thin, making it sag and wrinkle more when you get older. Sunscreen has hormone disruptors and you get lots of health issues from not enough vitamin D.

It 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.

Yes 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.

My mother used to buy skin care products obsessively, she has spent thousands of dollars on products that she uses maybe once or twice before deciding they don't work for her skin, and then she buys more of something else. I remember her bathroom used to just be overflowing with skincare and makeup. She used to spend over and hour in the bathroom just washing her face and applying makeup. She doesn't even wear heavy makeup, no eyeliners or anything, just foundation and blush and maybe a mascara. But she had like a million washes, creams, oils, acids, toners, you fucking name it.

not really, just wear sunscreen properly. I assume you meant white by European, you just need to apply the protection people with more melanin naturally have. Just because people in the past didn't (know to) do that, doesn't mean you have to age like shit.

Seeing the filter distort every time she put her hands on her face and when she pulls of the mask is very funny to me. It isn't just face slimming either, it's smoothing her skin as well. That pimple on her forehead becomes a lot larger and a lot darker when the filter glitches.

I got memed into serunms and such and my fail proof skincare has always defaulted to an olay moisturiser (the pink bottle) and simple skin care. Their micellar water, cleanser and toner. That's it. I drink a lot of water and don't bake myself in the sun. I'm in my 30s and people always compliment my skin. Moisturising is the biggest thing. I get occasional pimples but I've just accepted they occur for whatever reason and just staying clean keeps my skin looking clean.

I went from basic skincare, to consooming, and then toned it back down out of pure laziness. I just do wash, toner, and moisterizer and I use one of those microfiber make up eraser things to remove my make up (99% of the time only wear eyeliner and fill in my eyebrows). Once a week I'll use TO 30% AHA/BHA mask because I have normal to oily skin and it helps keep my breakouts at bay, and I'll add niacinamide into my routine that day.

I still consoom, but to a much lesser extent. I use a different morning and night toner and I have soooo many face washes that I switch between every morning/night because many of them were from my peak consooming days and I'm just trying to get through them. I still have some other masks I bought and want to use up and never buy again (I'll only ever buy the 30% mask consistently from now on). I cannot consoom moisterizers because my face breaks out and I get milia around my eyes. No idea why but I'm stuck using a specific moisterizer that I took from my mom. At least it's only $20 per bottle but she orders it from our local pharmacy and I don't know where to buy it in stores.

I still love to look at new things and debate adding them into my routine, but once the novelty wears off I just want to wash up as quickly as possible and end up cutting back down to my bare minimum. Sheet masks are always tempting but I always end up forgetting I have them, plus I've only ever used one or two where it felt like it made an improvement in my skin. I should really use sunscreen but I am just… lazy.

The brands aren't the same everywhere so I can't really recommend one but I have some tips. First, find a sunscreen with SPF 30 if your skin is white, no need to go higher. 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 got memed so much because my skin was a mess before. Now I only wash my face with cold water and from time to time with hot water and soap. Everyone think that I'm wearing a light foundation. I always massage a little bit of almond oil on my face before going to bed.

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.

Nonita I was just like you when I really got into k-beauty in the late 2010’s
Especially when the lioele triple the solution bb cream was still something you can buy (still haven’t found a bb cream American/Korean wise that’s compared tbh) but yeah I would over consoom skincare
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

But nona please get into the habit of using sunscreen trust me I feel like that’s something that should be stressed more in skincare

Also I'm retarded and didn't realize I had to remove sunscreen with a makeup remover… I just used my facewash as usual but obviously that wouldn't get it 100% off so after a while I was like "why… does my skin feel like this…?" and then I realized kek.

Me too! I used to have a skincare routine (wash, scrub, tone, moisturize, eye cream) and my skin looked okay but I still had some acne. I started eating less fat and cooking when I was hungry instead of getting chips and other fatty food. I only use facewash now (I 'scrub' the dead skin cells off my face with my hands about twice a week when I wash my hair and am in the shower for more than 2 minutes, so no more harsh scrubs!) and it works fantastic! I still have acne but it's way better than before. Skincare really is a scam. Just wash your face, moisturize if you need it and put rose water if you feel acne coming up (at least that's what works for me lol, sage 4 blog)

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.

I'm over figurine stuff in general because while I think that keeping things in box looks bulky and tacky, you also need to hoard boxes yourself if you have any hopes of reselling the fig in the future. Either way takes up space and it's shitty.
I do hate the cult mindset about it but I also at least appreciate that pops are cheap and shitty as fuck. Better than hoarding $100+ figures. Though I guess a wall of funkos might be more expensive than a few decent quality anime figs kek

I admittedly have had issues with hoarding skincare. In my defence i would have this crazy of a routine, i only ever used one or two serums at a time. Nowadays, my skincare hoard is significantly smaller now, by the end of the year i should have nothing left. At least i get skincare consoomerism from the angle that everything you buy will get used no matter what, at at the same time, a lot of these people seem to have no skin problems and people who do have legitimate problems tend to not hoard as much as these people do. Videos like this help me to not fall back into the trap of hoarding skincare again.

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.

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.

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!

I get you, sure, they’re kind of cute, you can have one or a few of them but more than that it’s just honestly a waste of money and dumb. I could imagine getting some random toys and posing them but that’s about it, most adults don’t play with toys the same way as kids does, or at least that’s how I feel, there’s a point in which it’s just sitting there collecting dust and looking pretty.

Some of your reactions to Turning Red are neckbeard weeb levels of autistic. The style is the standard Disney/Pixar/Rubber Hose influence with a tiny bit of hyperactive anime-like SD. They’ve all been around for ages so getting this fucked up about it now only looks like retard bandwagoning. Wallace & Gromit has always been the ugliest, most grim use of beanmouth ever and Pixar characters usually look like goofy caricature art anyway. If Arale and Ghibli characters were 3d, they’d look exactly like the TR girl. This cognitive dissonance and outrage has to be some kind of childish japonism, right? It’s also not at all cringe for a movie about little girls to feature boybands. It looks like they made the band very generic and non-descript anyway? It would be completely disingenuous to straight up to use NSYNC etc because the kids like kpop and that’s obviously what they were getting at. Why wouldn’t it appeal to modern audiences? Should Pixar make ~nostalgic kids movies for adults? There could be a lot of things worth criticising these this movie for but the things you all worry about are stupid. You want to nuke people for a silly panda girl movie? Also “my panda, my choice”, RIP? RIP? Chillout.

>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.

Oh boy I’ve seen those kind of videos too! Like women who have an entire closet full of usually VS brand scents, body butters, exfoliators and stuff. I enjoy high end body creams and shower gels and regularly use them and I can say there’s no fucking way to go through all that without majority of those products expiring before hitting the pan. A couple of shower gels and body creams are enough at a time.

I totally agree. For a couple of years I got really into the 'idea' of witchcraft, but mainly the tumblr idea of what it was meant to look like. I completely missed the mark, as you said, it's more intention and trust in mother nature than any certain 'look'. I just bought a bunch of books, expensive crystals and was more concerned with creating an aesthetically pleasing grimoire than practicing actual withcraft. I wasted so much money, even bought a special abalone shell for my sage stick over just an ashtray or somthing. I ended up selling it all except for a few crystals. I got caught up in the whole witchcraft asthetic over actual witchcraft which is sad. I'm glad you've managed to create an alter without getting sucked into consoomerism nona.

That's not necessarily true. Over here it's perfectly normal to keep your biscuits/cookies in a biscuit jar otherwise they go stale in their original packaging (provided you're not eating them all in one day). Same with sugar bags, the sugar will go hard if kept in the flimsy paper bag it comes in. Most 'resealable' bags just come with a sticker that loses the sticky as you keep opening it up, making the food go stale. When keeping them in airtight jars they last much longer. I do think it's dumb putting cleaning products in alternative jars however.

But the biggest hurdle I'm facing now is avoiding putting in new things I know will end up the same way.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a space that's a pink void, the problem is that why the fuck you need 3 phones or 5 key boards?

I think being a consoomer in those years are very normal. I practically owned nothing in my teen years because i would save all my money for huge purchases like gaming consoles and videogames. I also literally only owned pyjamas after high school because i never went out and never bought clothes and generally didn't care how i looked, i just wore whatever my brother didn't want. Fast foward to my 20s, i suddenly decided i wanted to be more feminine, got a job and found myself consooming cosmetics, skincare and clothes. I have slowed down now, but i still have an issue with consooming food and I want to stop.

Food/snacks. I'm not a fatty I promise, I just hate going to the local supermarket which is poorly stocked, kinda too far away for what it offers, and staffed by bitchy 20somethings. Whenever I go to the nearest big mall I'll just go to the fancy grocery shop there, that I also have a bonus card for.

I used to consoom a lot when I got tired of being unfashionable and frumpy, but now I just channel all of that into food shopping and buy clothes second-hand online if I need any. I've saved so much money, enough to afford a solo trip to Japan for 3 weeks, but then the pandemic came along.

Sage 4 blog but am I really the only one who enjoys being surrounded by mess? I used to be a shopping addict which is why I have so much stuff but I have barely bought anything in the last two years. I just like having a mess around me, a non-messy home feels so sterile to me. I have clothes hanging from my closet doors solely because it somehow gives me comfort to be surrounded by colorful flower dresses, my books, dvd's, cd's, vinyl and small doll collection (I do actually use them, except for the dolls lol). I couldn't stand to live in a 'minimalist' home. I just love having colors around me. I have no urge to buy new things but no urge to get rid of things either, I can't be the only one, can I?

I think I may have gotten over toy collecting. Used to post a lot in the /m/ thread and constantly was on the lookout for vintage dolls and MLP. It's been like 3 months since I last did that.
It may be medically induced chemical changes in my brain, so I cannot be too sure about it… but God, I hope I'm done with collecting shit. 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.

No. 1113239

Anon, 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

>>1113239
The 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. I’ve been trying to be more thoughtful about my purchases for the past year and this just reaffirms my feelings. It’s fucking gross how wasteful I was.

You just reminded me that I've done the same thing with my own make up and skin care, I threw away anything expired or that looked awful on me, kept what I liked and wanted to keep using, and after that someone in my family stole and most likely threw away most of the things I wanted to keep for some reason, probable to """help""". I'm 100% sure it's my mother who did this because she's extremely retarded and can't help but take other people's stuff and "tidy" things up without permission and once I'll finally make her admit it I'll make her pay me back the 150€ worth of makeup she threw away. I'm still salty. I don't think I've ever owned as much makeup as you have all at once though, but when I started buying stuff I bought semi-expensive brands that my sisters recommended to me.

Sharing some things that helped me stop consooming:

- delayed gratification. I journal and I'll make a 'wishlist' page of stuff I'm currently wanting. Every time I see that page I can cross off if I no longer want something or if I bought it. If it's something generic like 'bubble bath' I'll get it somewhere I know is cheap like Home Bargains, and if it's a big purchase I'll keep checking depop and online sales. Sometimes I keep checking and it never goes down enough in price for me, and eventually I no longer want it ha. This originally started off as something to refer back to when people ask me what I want for Xmas/birthday but it turned out really useful in decreasing impulse buys.

- charity shopping with a specific thing in mind. Like I wanted a couple good quality white t shirts to wear under strappy dresses for a more modest look at work, so I was checking all the labels until I found 100% cotton ones

- I take photos of cute shit I would be tempted to impulse buy. I can send it to my friends but I also can look back through my photos and see kawaii goods and plushies and stationery and it gives me just as much as a !! feeling as when I first saw it

- I recently got some cold water fruity teabags which are a good healthier option if I'm craving a kawaii drink. I can brew some in the fridge in a cute reusable glass bottle I thrifted and it turns out all pink and yummy. And if I'm wanting a kawaii snack I just take effort to make my meals that day cuter. Like cutting carrot slices into stars or making an aesthetic side salad.

- my biggest downfall is clothes because one of my biggest thrills is finding something unique in a charity shop. I have to be so stern and think 'can I wear this for work?' because at least then I can get a lot of wear out of it. I wear a limited colour palette so I can mix and match, but I've always had a sense of pride about being fashionable and finding unique pieces so it's hard to undo that in my sense of self. The only way I can validate it to myself is by limiting myself to 5 new clothing items a month, only shopping second hand (apart from underwear and stuff obvs) and regularly going through all my unworn/unfitting stuff to donate back.

- the only thing I want help with is binge eating. Denied a lot of food items growing up so there's specific things I can't help but binge on. Random stuff such as sandwiches, soft cookies, exotic fruits, muffins. I'm doing a lot of mindfulness and spotting my emotional triggers and stuff, and I'm getting better but I'm not fully there yet

> delayed gratification
What 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 buy

I 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 eating

I 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 new makeup inside or try making your own (if your feeling ambitious and really want to)
-use it to store items like small jewelry, paperclips, mints, medication, etc
-put pictures in it
-not sure if this is possible, but try to turn it into a journal somehow?
-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 live somewhere where in-person shopping is tricky. I only have grocery stores nearby. I don't drive, I'd need to get a train if I want to clothes shop and since covid it feels like it's not worth facing the crowds to travel hours just to shop. I fell into a routine of ordering online more. I've anxiety too so I was like… this is ideal.

I now have developed a sort of dread or self consciousness around the fact that it's the same 2 guys delivering all my parcels and I'm almost embarrassed by the amount. Maybe it's not even that much but it's everything that I buy that's not not food so it feels like alot some weeks. I'm also fed up of not being able to go for a walk whenever or pop to a shop for food because I'm home all day expecting that parcel. A few deliveries have gone wrong and wasted my time or stressed me out as I chased it up. It has started to not feel worth it. I might try and turn this into a good thing. I need to get out more again and in-person shopping is less impulsive than the habit I've entered into. I would place an order and sometimes an hour later I'd start to dread it arriving, resent the waiting around or get stressed because they sent it via an unreliable method.

I promise you, exposure helps. It’s really freaky and uncomfortable at first but you won’t regret it once you’re used to it.

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 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 feel bad spending money on skincare since I am a radfem
Skincare 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. Can't help you for clothes, I'm minimalist but not by choice because I can't find anything my size that's also business casual.

I spend very little on anything to do with appearance, skincare, haircare, I just don't do make up at all. I'm aware that I save a small fortune by not being too interested in alot of the usual stuff you'd expect a woman to invest in. Genuine skin issues need addressing though. Stuff like acne, rosacea, very fair skin all call for a bit of investment in products to protect you from damage. That's just an extension of caring for your health.

If you have problematic skin and you have a routine that works for you then there is no reason why you should feel guilty. Any radfem that has a problem with you taking care of your skin sounds like a weirdo. It's not like it's makeup or something. The packaging is annoying though, I always try to recycle what I can.

Spoilered for a quite graphic dead kitten wet specimen. Please don't be weird about it.

It's not as cool as you think. I'm looking for a way to make it neater/more functional but doll stands take up a lot of space and are a lot of extra plastic. I'd literally fill maybe a third of the space if I used stands. And I am still unsure of how to properly display bones. They're mostly just… there. It's also horrible lighting, because it's mostly a storage space (and it's dark outside)
That's like half of the bookcase. Lower half is 4 bjds, some blythes and some comic books.

based. but if shove them in a mini shopping cart, you could probably declutter some. don't want to enable your dolls to be consoomers! if you have more expensive BJDs or other dolls (I can't tell), then you could cut down on the playline dolls like barbie or ken ones? Or ones with similar features and/or from the same line? Do you really need two doll wheelchairs? And for the bones, you should put some cloth or wood down because they don't contrast against the white shelf. they might look better elsewhere.

Serious question, sorry if this isn't in the spirit of the thread, but why do some anons think that having a collection of something like books is bad? That's kind of different from a closet full of fast fashion to be worn once and thrown away, or drawers full of fidget spinners, or expired bbw lotions. Do you just feel guilty for owning "stuff" in general? This feels flippant but I swear I don't mean it to, do you feel this way about owning more than a few pairs of socks or is it only when something is more decorative or for pleasure or entertainment only that it's wrong to have it?

BJDs and fashion dolls are different species for me entirely. Different types of item, not only price-wise. As for wheelchairs, 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)

I have more books than I can read, but I hope I'll get to all of them eventually and I constantly give away or sell those I know for sure I won't get to or won't enjoy anymore.
It kind of bothers me, but most of them were free and I've been raised with having a home library, so it's not so much consoom and it's a family tradition.
Nevertheless, I gave some books away today, because they were concerning magic and I'm just not that type of person anymore.

Hopefully one day I will read them all and invest in an e-book. Well, selling books is my way of putting money towards a good e-reader that has colour, because I read comic books or books on art a lot.
Books take up a lot of space tho and are visual clutter if they're unorganized/have shitty cover designs.

I have a small flat, but one of the walls is entirely covered in books. I've already gave like half away, but what's left is my mother's library, which she uses constantly, in addition to her ink e-reader.
It's just what our family grew up with for generations, we sometimes didn't have food, but books were sacred and valued. To me most of mom's library is in quite a bad taste, things I wouldn't read myself, but I understand why it brings her comfort.

If only I could manage to make my mom downsize our fancy dishware we don't use even when the guests come, because we have a lot of pretty soviet bowls and cups, we'd make bank if we sold at least the stuff we don't use at all.

In 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.

Like the other anon said, get used to flavored seltzer. It's awful in the beginning, but once you get used to it, it's fine. 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.

I think for books in particular, nowdays people want to give an image of "look I read! I'm an avid reader! Wow, look at me, such a quirky bookworm!" as opposed to just being someone who reads. 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

I 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.

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.

get storage boxes to move all out of season clothes first. put all the hangers facing one way, then when you wear something turn it around. clothes left unflipped at end of season or month think about getting rid of. if you actually wear and lke everything you own then just get used to swapping out your seasonal clothes and store rest in boxes otherwise.

I don't know, lately I've seen a lot of early 2000's Akihabara aesthetic rooms owned by girls, it seems to be a sort of trend adjacent to egirl anime shit. A lot of them don't seem to really know the source material, or just do it for edgy/obscure points.

Thank you for posting more of her work! I thought it was mean spirited because I'd assumed it was the kind of moid "we live in a society" art where they mock things women do while sexualizing us at the same time (because of the clevage) but with the added context of the other works, and the fact it's a female artist, I actually really enjoy the pictures. I guess context changes a lot, or maybe I'm just a dumbass, who knows kek

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.

As 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.

I think you might be missing the point somewhat. or otherwise I am. but I read this as a critique of weird sexualized instagram and tiktoks of hobbies like plants and the expectation that you're supposed to pose with and look hot with all your mundane crap and hobbies. and yes she works traditional with gouache and watercolor.

It has attention to detail, isn't overly grotesque and has a good use of colour, yet the message is expressing comes off like the typical moid critique of "Capitalism Bad"/"We Live in a Society" visually speaking. The virtues of the artist help disguise it or more like it "differentiate" itself from the moid approach. But, in my unimportant opinion, they're just as lame.

ntayrt but agreed, I was thinking about that today. When did symbolism and talking about things deeply become so pretentious. It feels like everyone trying to create a message or speak in poem just sounds so stupid. I wish I wasn't so bitter about it but maybe it's cringe because it's obviously psuedo-intellectual?
