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 😳

Yes! 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.

YES! I’m 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 I’ve been battling this is: - gamify it: I time box and then pretend it’s all a giant video game that I have to dodge other people in. (I know dorky) - I’ll make it an outing with my wife…grocery shopping, very romantic. The odd thing for me is that I wasn’t 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 can’t get out from under my rock.
