Is it normal that to care so much about material items?
I feel that I care too much about material items like clothing, accesories, my iPod/Phone, and even make up. It was my 16th birthday a month ago and I asked for, a Louis Vuitton speedy 35 handbag, which costs about 700 $. Whenever I go shopping, I find myself impulse buying things I don't really need, but want. It seems like the only things I find myself interested in having discussions about are material items, and I never have any actual deep conversations with anybody anymore, even my closest friends. My parents are divorced, and I'm starting think that, that may be why I'm acting this way..? Is it normal for someone with divorced parents, or even without divorced parents, to be so materialistic?
