10 Things You Will Relate To If You Are A Shopaholic

All of us love shopping but some people love to 'shop till they drop'. That's absurd, right? That is a compulsive behavior pattern. Previously, only women were perceived as shopaholics but in the recent times, even men have joined this group. Shopping malls are like temples to shopaholics. So, what are the signs you have a shopping addiction?

Sometimes, we all go for impulsive purchases. We buy something unnecessary due to a momentary impulse and later on regret about it. But when your impulsive purchases start becoming 'compulsive purchases' that is when you must panic because all your money will soon go to the malls. If you are wondering whether you fall in the category of shopaholics, then you must first know about the signs you have a shopping addiction. Here are they:

You get a high when you shop but feel guilty later

Shopping is the only pleasure that gives you gratification. So, you tend to shop as much as you can. But after reaching home, you suddenly start feeling guilty for wasting all your money. You feel like returning some of your purchases.

You frequently reach your credit limit on your card

At times, you go on a shopping spree and that day all your credit cards reach their limits. Such days are memorable days for you! You will still enjoy the high.

You beat your stress by shopping

What to do if you are a shopaholic? Well, you must find a way out because whenever you feel stressful, you will use your shopping weapon to combat that stress. Once you get that high, your stress is gone!

You feel like hiding your purchases

You don't want others to know about your shopping tendencies. Previously, you have flaunted your shopping habits but now you are afraid that people may perceive your habits as an addiction. So, you generally hide your purchases from your neighbors.

You feel home only at the shopping malls

Whenever you reach the shopping mall, you feel home there. All other places in this world bore you but the malls feel like the ideal places to spend time. This is one of the signs you have a shopping addiction.

You run out of money during the middle of the month

Sometimes, you see yourself borrowing money from others just to shop more and more. You would finish your salary in a day and drag the rest of the month with the help of a hand loan.

Your boy friend or husband labels you as a shopaholic!

Your husband or boyfriend starts treating you like someone suffering from a psychological disorder. That frustrates you a lot.

You feel that your income must be doubled

You feel that you deserve a raise. Your boss looks like an exploiter who doesn't pay you enough to shop.

You start hating all those who perceive you as a shopaholic

How to know if you are a shopaholic? Well, you will hate anyone who sees you as an addict. You will even go to an extent of arguing that shopping is a natural stress busting activity.

You feel like dumping your boyfriend who doesn't allow you to shop

Are you a shopaholic? One fine day, you might even feel like saying goodbye to that boy friend who doesn't appreciate the fact that a woman shops at times. This is one of the weirdest signs you have a shopping addiction.
