I have been, but that doesn't allevate the pressure that comes from the salesperson who is spurred into action by seeing my excitement. That gets irritating.

I would say if some of your only complaints are that you have too much money and too much things bought for you and the pesky energy of a worker who is trying to help you, youve got it pretty ok.

Goodness, it wasn't a complaint so much as a fascinating insight I had that day. Realizing ways that I have chosen certain circumstances I tended to see as out of my control, but that ultimately, I was creating myself, for specific reasons of my own.
We are all God, playing behind a bunch of masks.

I suspect this is absolutely true for many people. I call them empties. Sometimes I ponder whether I am one of them.

Oh I meant no disrespect in any way, I always respect and admire your posts when I come across them. I just sensed that you were saying, there was an activity that was at the very least in some way bothering or irking you, and that was your husband wanting to buy you lots of things etc. I suppose I shouldnt have said anything at all, but I hardly issued any control over myself and I said what seemed to be a possible thing to say. Apologies.
they are not going to understand it if I don't speak their language.
For me, I see the ability to influence people with love and care that is not like most others would give, worth wearing a mask.
