I hate shopping. I think that my
distaste for shopping comes from the fact that I need someone else to supply things
for me and I cannot be self-reliant. I know that being self-reliant is a great
idea, but it is probably not very feasible in our modern society. I think that
the reason for this is because we as a society enjoy our free time and
conveniences. This doesn’t mean I can’t hope to one day be more self-reliant
but I will never be to provide all myself with all my needs. Another reason why
I hate shopping is people; I am not a people person and although I don’t like
to say it I may be slightly anti-social. Part of the reason for this is because
of lack of manners people sometimes demonstrate. Or maybe it’s just my lack of
tolerance for others. I think my wife and I would have different opinions on
this. For these reasons when I go shopping it is in and out. I know what I need
and I generally know where it is. If I don’t know where it is I don’t need it.
This applies to the grocery store, gas stations, Wal-Mart and especially the
mall. I especially dislike the mall. I can handle outdoors stores for a little
while but even there I start feeling stressed out after some time. The one
place I know of that I may enjoy shopping would be the Branson Landing. It has
the Bass Pro outdoor store, a few great restaurants as well as being outdoors,
which makes me feel a whole lot less contained. The best part is if you don’t
mind walking around in the rain and cold you may be one of the only ones there.
It may be helpful for me to be around people more. I am sure I could learn to
be more sociable. However I do not see this happening.
