Nah I get it. When I had money, I absolutely loved shopping. It was a small piece of serotonin. 
Now that I’m absolutely broke, it’s just depressing. Shopping just makes me sad bc it’s more money I’m not gonna have lol.
Since when are hobbies required to be productive? Most forms of entertainment are unproductive and unnecessary. >

Whats the point of working if I can't buy shit I don't need! >

I can literally shop for paper towels and aluminum foil and be having the time of my life >

Shopping can be a lovely social activity to do with your friends, and it's a great way to catch up. Especially if you're just window shopping and not looking to buy anything. I agree that it's not really a hobby, but in an era where people are speaking to each other in person less and less, and ESPECIALLY after a 2 year period where people were cooped up in their rooms with no way to socialize, shopping can be a great way to get that human connection and have some fun. >

My wife tried taking me window shopping when we first started dating and literally would have rather waited in the car in silence for 2 hours instead >

That's YOU and that's cool. I'm the same. But other people? Zero foxtrot
