  • Meet Miriam, a 27-year-old window dresser with an expensive passion for fashion. She’s filling up her tiny room with impulse purchases until it’s overflowing. Along with countless jean, there are countless bags, including two from Fendy, bought in the same week. And she’s spent piles on dress after dress after dress. And, when it comes to bling, she’s got pot-loads. She feels untouched by her £36,000 debt.

      @Wotdermatter 4 года назад +3

      If she is as "insightful" as you say, why is she so much in debt? Neither did she start to plan for the future and that can be seen when she is let off the lease and has time off from her jobs, she went haywire and reckless buy going on binges. There is no logic in your statement, her behaviour or reckless spending. Such an "insightful" person would not just giggle, etc., when confronted as she was and did.
      Incidentally, in Japan, it takes up to seven years of apprenticeship to master the skill of making sushi. I never buy from any other place because I know I am not getting the genuine article. One lesson - that is an outright joke.

      It's all about the "pleasure" of buying, opening packages and then losing your illusion and wanting something else.

    It's painful watching the "therapy" segments. What a quack! Telling the patient how to feel, how to think of themselves and their life, forcing his own narrative based on his initial hot take, even when the patient is telling him "No, that doesn't describe me or my situation at all"... Completely unhelpful.

      Hmm. You make me think. In a way this may be why I do not really like my social-psychiatric nurse. I won't go into detail or give an example but you just helped me out the finger on it. I may use that thought one day when brave enough to tell him since I have told him before not to always still try to 'fix me' if I don't actively ask for that kind of talk. But it failed, as he is right back to it. Never thought it would be this when it is actually pretty simple and straightforward. Once again, thanks for this comment 💐
