Do you end up buying a lot of things you don't need?

I don't compulsive shopping is a mental disorder, and you should seek counselling. Why would you buy stuff you neither want or need? Does it make you feel good to buy things? If so, go talk to your doctor about it

there were times that i realize that i bought things that i really dont need. but i'll just have to keep and sell them soon. somehow

I must admit I am bad about this. I think my worst things are hair things such as curlers, curling irons, straighteners and such. I don't return them but use them once or twice then they end up in the bottom drawer until my daughter decides she want to take them "to borrow" and I never see them again. I do think it's like a sickness because I don't need these things and can't afford them many times but I still do it. I am trying not to but don't succeed always.

I hate to return things, I hate to stand in the lines. I try to not buy things if I think I might have to return them! The only times we've returned things where when the 2 TV's we bought broke or didn't work out of the box.

Well at least you return them :) When I was younger I used to buy the clothes that I liked, even if they were a size or more too small thinking well, I'll wear them when I'll lose some weight. And I put them in the back of my closet and they waited there and waited... There probably still are some of them in my closet in my parent's home. :( At least I learnt my lesson and nowadays I buy only clothes that fit me :)
