Consumerism
All people are consumers, whether you realize it or not. You buy things, you see something you want or need, you buy it. That's consumerism or consuming rather. Apparently there are different types of consumer you, and all of us, are. There this "smart" consumer, a person who constantly buys things that he/she wants, ignoring everything that he/she needs, just because they're behind on fashion or something new came out and they just have to get it, probably unaware they already likely have something similar. There's this "easily persuaded" consumer. That's a person who looks at one ad or commercial, and bam, they have been persuaded that they should absolutely, end of the world, get whatever product it is the ad/commercial is showcasing. Mind you, I am not one of those type of consumers, thank God. Even provided facts or logic or both that this product or that product works, I am always doubting it until I experience it myself and decide whether it works or not for me. Anyway, another type of consumer is well I don't got a term for it since "smart" is taken, maybe the "wary" consumer could work I guess *shrug*. Anyway thats a consumer that is wary of the products saying that they work or that it is awesome and must be acquired at any cost. Thats a consumer that is way of his nature of "want" reigning in that feeling whenever it runs rampant. Thats a consumer that only buys things that he needs to continue his existence or something and only as much as he needs, never more than he needs. AKA me. And various other people I guess. Brand names don't mean shite, pardon my british, to me, I only want pants or shorts or shirts or shoes that are comfortable and to a degree, awesome maybe catchy. If you want to be a consumer like me, be wary of your want instead pay attention as to what you need. Happy shopping :)
