Overwhelmed by stores?
Are there others who postpone grocery shopping because it just feels like climbing mountains? The sound, the people, smells, information and everything just give me a sensory overload š³

3 years agoYes! Especially with a 4 year old I do mostly curbside pickups. But even the app shopping sometimes takes way too long bc there are more options than in store.

3 years agoYES! Iām like this with anything in which there will be crowds of any sort. I hate it because my fridge is always empty and I end up just ordering food. A few ways Iāve been battling this is: - gamify it: I time box and then pretend itās all a giant video game that I have to dodge other people in. (I know dorky) - Iāll make it an outing with my wifeā¦grocery shopping, very romantic. The odd thing for me is that I wasnāt like this growing up. I used to enjoy going out. Then after the great barricading in of 2020 it was like I turned into a hermit and canāt get out from under my rock.
