Ah
Shopping! The word expresses so many emotions. You can’t let your fingers from
browsing the shopping sites and
whish listing the stuffs you come across while the navigation. There might be a
thousand of stuffs in the wish list waiting for being added to the cart and
followed by the shipping vans. So, in short you generally desire for the things
you can’t afford at that particular moment.
The urge to loosen your
pocket for money to slip out from it and buy the stuff you wanted to, is called
shopping. So, anyhow the rush in our adrenaline convinces our brain to commit
this deed called shopping. Now have you ever thought that from where does this
feeling come from, even when we’re broke? Even when we’re tired? The answer to
this will be the answer to the question that what the purpose of going shopping is.
So, have a
look at some of the reasons and let us know which of the reasons came in your
minds too.
What is the purpose of going shopping ?
·
Because you
want to be a go-getter: You might be crushing on some cute
dress that you saw somewhere but the main motivation came from the feeling that
you don’t want to miss it from buying before the stock gets over.
·
Because
there is a thing called retail therapy: Have you
ever tried doing things of your interest when you’re angry or perplexed?
Researchers call it “Placebo effect”. Let me elaborate it, what Placebo effect
actually is. It is a beneficial effect produced for healing some uneased
situation which is due to a person’s belief. It’s all in your mind. So, you can
say shopping is a therapy for most of the people.
·
Because
you’ve been tricked: Trust me, it’s a trick web knitted
by the business persons and you easily get trapped in that. And the best part
of this is, you don’t even feel sad about being tricked.If we understand the
chronology in this, first you will have to go somewhere, you will check your
wardrobe and feel like you’ve nothing to wear, you will search some stuffs
online, and to your surprise you will instantly find a suitable dresses for you.Then you
will seriously feel like you’ve nothing to wear. Then they will recommend you
things of your interest based on what you browsed last, on every non-commercial
website you visit. And bang! You’re the next prey. That’s how manipulation
works.
·
Because you
need to express yourself: Be it an office party or a date, a
marriage/festival at home or Aunt Marry’s funeral. You always want to be
noticed. And what could be the better way than to dress properly and rock the
ramp! So, here comes another urge to go shopping.
Did
you observe how related we feel to shopping in
our day-to-day lives? Every occasion comes with joy and with the craving to
shop as well. Now it’s your turn. Let us know what your motivation to shop is.
We would love to hear you.
