Recently, a topic on Weibo's hot search
sparked discussion among netizens
It also aroused the empathy of mothers
A mother posted a video crying
I bought a pair of sandals for my child
I compared prices online for several days
Surprise time is just unconscious
Slipped away quietly
……
In the video, Bao's mother said that she didn't sleep at 1 a.m. because she was choosing sandals for her children, and a question from her husband after waking up made her suddenly realize that she had wasted at least 2 hours of time in this matter.
"He asked me, how many days do you want to look at a pair of sandals for more than 100 yuan? Yes, for the sake of these sandals, I've been looking at night these days. After choosing the style, then searching on the Internet to jump and compare prices between different platforms. Because I found an ordinary store, which is 32 yuan cheaper than the flagship store, I want to save more than 30 yuan, but I am afraid of buying fake goods......"
Bao's mother said that she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and hopes to buy better and more things with the least amount of money, even if she knows that the expensive ones will definitely not be bad, and she doesn't want to give up the cost performance for this. Even if my life is good now, I still can't get out of this strange circle, "I suddenly feel so scary, the chain reaction of not sleeping well, tantrums and so on makes my time slip away quietly, and I am completely unconscious, I could have used this time to do more things." ”
In the comments section of the video
Many netizens said
I don't understand the behavior and practices of Bao Ma
It looks more like self-touching
There's no need to stay up late into the night
But there are also many netizens who say that they can empathize, and this is likely to be the daily life of mothers in many ordinary families, not everyone can make a lot of money, it is normal to shop around, and as a mother, she always wants to give her children the best within their ability. The unconscious self-internal friction is also difficult to control, but being able to realize this may be a good start for Bao Ma.
In this regard, some netizens suggested
It's better to switch from online to offline
You can try it, you can see it, you can compare the price
Good or bad at a glance
Or buy a product with shipping insurance
If it is not suitable, it will be refunded directly
At the same time, some netizens said that in fact, many people may experience this situation encountered by Bao Ma, and sometimes in order to save some money, they consume more time and energy in actual operation. Therefore, you should pay more attention to whether there is a problem with your own state, and detect and intervene as soon as possible.
Some netizens also mentioned it
Excessive internal friction is also easy to affect the people around you
Like children
"Guilt education" formed imperceptibly
It may stay with the child for the rest of his life
In this regard, some big V bloggers have popularized science that the more you buy something, the more tired you are, which may be explained by the "decision fatigue" proposed by American psychologist Roy Baumest, and it takes strong willpower to make decisions. Sometimes in the process of price comparison, we actually silently spend more time, energy and emotion, and finally find that the money saved may not make up for these hidden costs. "So, don't put all your energy into cheap or even free things", and don't let a few dollars ruin precious life and time.
What do you think about this?
Will you shop around?
