Your Type
The most anticipated part of shopping is the unboxing moment; the ritual of unwrapping excites you more than the item itself. This trait of "only caring about the unwrapping moment and not about possessing" is actually your stimulation-seeking to combat "unchanging, boring daily routines"; you fear life becoming as dull as stagnant water, so you treat packages like blind boxes, using small surprises again and again to create the illusion that life is still moving forward. But after the wrapping paper is torn, what's left is often a deeper emptiness. Try shifting your focus to creating experiences, like taking a workshop; when you learn to create surprises with "experiences" rather than "materials", your happiness will last longer.
