Awkward shopping moments

    Think about an item you would likely feel nervous when buying it, and then place yourself in a situation you would likely to be embarrassed about it.

    If I were me, I would think the most awkward thing is when buying underwear or when buying items that are not for yours. But OK, let’s see why I’m telling this, and why I’m doing this post.

    It’s not like I got into a place and tried to buy something, but it’s like something you have to do. I don’t usually go to places to buy, my family usually do this, buying things to eat, the clothes, the accessories, health products and cleaning products. But I think daring yourself to do something like this is kind of worth it.

    Why? Because you’ll get the courage to do anything if you can face the other person, an unknown person, and have this interaction while he gets your merchandise into a bag and tells you how much it is. Having to face the cashier is something difficult, especially if you’re on your own. Usually in your family they ask you to go to the nearest department store to buy certain products for using it at home, but then you have to go all the way down to the store and select the products, paying it for it and carry the bags back to home.

    But there are the two main situations, the cashier wouldn't say something to you, or the cashier would look you strange carrying all of this. All depends on what does the cashier would say to you.

    And I’m of the people who don’t worry until they are acknowledged of the actions we make. At first I wouldn't dare to say something, so many years ago, my shyness was too strong for me so I could go and buy something. But also it was all about how much do you got for money....

    But of course time passes and you are a different person, with personal decisions, with desires and with all of the mentality of making awesome things.
    I know also what I would feel embarrassed of buying, when you go to certain store to buy plush toys and cute things, like anime products and video game characters. Because, trying to compare, I just have to be more otaku or more nerdy to feel like I need to buy it, and because I can’t get a lot of money and because I can’t spend my money all for that.

    Recently, I got into that situation, but nothing embarrassing happened. Maybe because he just didn’t ask me a lot. It’s just a matter of business. That’s all....

    But after that, I felt more confident on myself, I know I still have to learn to talk to people and tell what I’m aiming for. But that’s a big first step into seeing what I really want, and how I’m going to arrange my room so I can have space.

    See you soon.
