Finch shopping addiction
Hi everyone. I've been using finch for about five weeks now and I love it. But the past days I realized it's becoming more and more like a game for me. Yes, it still helps me to structure my day and to never skip washing my face but then I caught myself refreshing the store again and again, selling my clothes to generate new stones and hoping for something even more spectacular to appear. The fact that lots of items are hard to get triggers my FOMO. I struggle with this in real life. The harder it is to get something if I don't buy it right now, the more I act impulsively and spend my money. I'm glad that in finch it isn't possible to spend real money to get specific stuff (the plus version is quite harmless I guess) but it concerns me that I'm kind of addicted to collecting stuff. Do you know that feeling? I've already spent hours creating outfits I want from the store and taking screenshots. That's bad for my mental health and I don't want to lose the positive effects of the app.
Edit because I forgot something: after getting an item I'm happy for some hours or days and then it fades. Like in real life. It's mostly about the thrill of collecting stuff and finally succeeding.
