When shopping, iin

To feel constantly anxious/guilty in shops because you are worried the shop assistants/shopkeepers think you're going to steal something, and to feel like you have to buy something even if you don't want to, to prove that you hadn't just gone in to shoplift?

I get this nearly every time I enter a shop.

    This happens to me.
    Could just be my social anxiety making me overly anxious though.
    It only really happens in small stores because in those it feels like the owner is just standing there staring at your every move. Or if you have to leave a store emptyhanded.
    I once got falsely accused of shoplifting even. It was very awkward. However when the guard searched my bag he couldn't find anything so it was probably more awkward for the shop clerk who had accused me.

    so dont steal nothin

    prove em wrong

    yall aint obligated to buy nothin

    if yall converse with the people there and theyve got decent attitudes and knowledgable about the products id be more inclined to wanna support em

    if theyre gonna sneak around and monitor yall like a criminal they can fuck right off

    and this is comin from a feller who looks like a homeless person but has cash to burn

    I agree with donteststuff. If they did confront u for shoplifting you're Scott free. You have no obligation to buy anything.

    You must have a guilty conscience about something.

    • That makes me feel like I have a guilty conscience, already.

  • I go in knowing exactly what I want, analyse everything in minute detail, carefully weighing up price/quality/appeal/usefulness, then after 20 minutes walk out having bought nothing at all.

    And all I had wanted was a plushie keyring.

    I look shady as anything, poring intensely over the kiddie toys. But I just have really particular criteria in mind.

    What makes you suspicious looking? Do you wear a hoodie and sunglasses?
