Is online shopping addiction a manifestation of internet addiction?

Psychologically speaking, Internet addiction is a comprehensive manifestation of physiology, behavior and cognition. Internet addiction refers to excessive use of the network, excessive addiction and dependence on the network, and it is difficult to control yourself. It mainly includes internet pornography addiction, game addiction, excessive information acquisition addiction and transaction addiction.

Nowadays, as a new form of shopping consumption, online shopping is accepted and used by more and more people. It is very relaxing to buy what you need and like online. The increasingly rich online goods, relatively low commodity prices, and non-cash online shopping transactions will also cause hypnosis similar to shopping in shopping malls, allowing people to buy back unwanted things. This kind of situation often happens to people who are more susceptible to suggestion, but it is still normal. And if an online shopper enjoys and longs to enjoy the pleasure of online shopping, loses control of himself, and puts a lot of time and energy into continuous excessive online surfing and impulsive shopping to make himself excited or relaxed, it may be Internet addiction.

I have some suggestions to avoid excessive online shopping addiction and stay away from the trap of online shopping addiction:

1, timely evaluate and find out whether the pressure in your work and life is too great. If the pressure is too high, you should take appropriate and healthy ways to decompress in time.

2. Make time to communicate with relatives and friends around you and get the support you need.

3. Cultivate more hobbies.

4. Cultivate and enhance self-control.

You can consult a psychologist if necessary.
