There have been plenty of threads about loneliness on DCUM over the years, and plenty of compassionate responses. OP's way of expressing herself and her obsession with money and bling are turning people off. It's just crass and mindless. DCUM is populated by a larger ratio of intellectual, non-flashy, types (even though they may be quite wealthy) than typical internet boards, so it's not a good mix. |
True. There is definitely something about OP that is off putting, but I've been trying to give people more grace lately. |

OP
You all could be right .. I am sure I can be off putting. That’s OK ??? You all seem like cool people But I never understood the thing about … if you don’t like someone … don’t follow them I identified myself in the title of the thread … update You’re cool to go back to whatever you want to do |

My sister has an inlaw like this. My sister, her husbands and daughter are the only family the relative has left. The woman and her husband were Dinks and very career focused. He was in corporate something; she worked in entertainment. Her handbags were her children, literally. Their entire mansion is packed with designer clothing, expensive handbags and top level shoes, many vintage and mostly barely worn in mint condition. A lot of stuff was,never worn with tags still attached. The wardrobe went back decades, longer than I have been alive. My sister and her kids will have to move her into an adult facility soon. They are dreading helping her go through the stuff. There are rooms of it. The older relative said that my two nieces, who are young adults not into that kind of stuff, will get everything. Maybe I will show them this thread to cheer them up so they can work up the energy and motivation to store and catalog the stuff, until the time comes for them to inherit it all. Right now they just keep wondering why one person needs so many expensive handbags, shoes and clothing. |
Lol. No, they do not. |
Cope for the emptiness inside. |
This is kinda a funny saga. Why get upset over it? You don't get more silly and frivolous than $4000.00 shoes and handbags. |
Wut |
That is kind of sexist though. Like saying a rich guy buys lots of cars to compensate for undersized manhood. Sometimes purses are just purses though |
I think, like other shopaholics, it is more about the dopamine rush they get from the acquisition and then from knowing they have these possessions that have value, despite what the current day value is. They don't want to let any of it go while they are alive since they would feel diminished. |
What, subject you to things you don't want to read? It's an anonymous board You. literally. don't have to. read here at all. You read as anonymous. You are no more of a paying subscriber than anyone else. You're not logged in. You are just picking my user contributions up like I'm a stray and digitally spitballing me. Like ... calm down ... you be OK. I'm not obsessing over who you are. This site is not your personal domain AFAIK |
This makes sense. |
I totally agree, this thread is fun for me |
