  • Same to all of this for me with one exception, which is I occasionally have to go on for work reasons to check the business page. When I’m there, I look at my notifications, which are usually weeks-old friend requests (usually from actual people I know IRL) so I’ll accept those. Not sure why I bother… something about not wanting them to feel bad about not getting friended, like we’re in college again. (I was in college when FB came out.) But in reality they’d probably never notice so…shrug.


  • As a crafter who is more on the Marie Kondo side of things, it’s way worse than that. I’d say a lot of time, knitters and sewists (my two main hobbies) buy yarn and fabric with no specific pattern or project in mind but rather just because it’s pretty. Some of them seem to be proud of their room-filling stashes. Personally I think most people just like the instant gratification of purchasing craft supplies but don’t have the patience to actually create the craft, especially since knitting in particular is very, very slow. I have tried really hard not to fall into this trap and have been actively not purchasing yarn for a few years now, though I’ll still put it on my Christmas list.
