Online shopping is arguably one of everybody's favorite activities. It's the best of both worlds. You get to look at clothes all day without ever having to leave you bed. Who doesn't love that? However, it's clear that a roller coaster of emotions comes along with online shopping. We have to deal with the stress of our favorite clothes being out of stock, the sadness that comes along with our shopping cart being too expensive and the anticipation of waiting for our new clothes to arrive. Here are the emotional stages of online shopping that we all know way too well.
1. Excitement
You've saved up enough money and decide it's time for an online shopping spree! So many websites to choose from and the best part is that you never have to get out of bed!
2. Stress
You started off strong, but your fingers are starting to hurt from all of the scrolling and clicking, and you don't know how you're supposed to go through another 15 pages of clothing. Plus, you have so many tabs of clothing open that your computer is starting to slow down. Help!
3. Determination
You push through because you know there is a huge chance that your future favorite shirt will be on the last page. You have to finish strong!
4. Panic
You finally finished looking at every single article of clothing on the website so it's time to look at your cart. Panic sets in when you realize you added way too much clothing and you can't pay for all $2,000 of it.
5. Acceptance
It's time to sort through your cart and remove everything you don't actually need. I know it's hard. You don't want to hurt the clothes' feelings, but you can do it!
6. Pride
You did it! Now that you've successfully sorted through an entire website of clothing, it's time to treat yourself. You deserve it.
7. Anticipation
You can't stop tracking your package online. You already have all of your new outfits planned out and can't wait until the package arrives at your door.
8. More Excitement
Your new clothes have finally arrived! Cheers to yet another successful online shopping spree. Until next time!
