Addicting to Shopping?

Ever since lockdown, I've become addicted to "shopping" online. Not buying anything at all, just looking at the ridiculously hefty priced luxury stuff and jewelry and thinking how ugly and unaffordable they are to us all, mere commoners. And sometimes thinking that the poor commoners also ruin themselves financially just to buy one of them, makes me somewhat sick. But hey are aesthetically pleasing to the eye for me personally, especially high jewelry like Tiffany & co and Van Clef and Arpel. Lately, been browsing their site a lot. Is that a normal behaviour or not? What are your own odd personal addictions and obsessions?
 
who is to say what is "normal" these days , as long as you look and dont spend what you cannot afford then what's the problem.

my own addictions obsessions would be looking at houses online, preparing lists of everything, and stationery products i can't resist some nice stationery it brings me pleasure :p
 
I've been spending a bit too much time looking at model railway websites during lockdown. Usually, I can resist the urge to buy them... but, on occasion, I've ended up £100 poorer as a result of this.

(At least I have a nice model train to show for it, though!)
 
I also spend hours checking products on online stores and rarely buyng. I think that's pretty normal. Not because I do the same but because I know a lot of people who like visiting stores even when they are not buying anything.
 
I have a shopping addiction even though I’m broke I still shop 😑 there are options to pay in installements so that’s what I do, I got my clothes paying that way and movies it helps me feel good about myself when I’m struggling but it’s not good. I once came in to a few thousand inheritance and spent it on online shopping and that’s how my addiction started.
