The ADHD cope to research a thing for tens of hours across weeks or even months, agonizing over the purchase of the thing (especially if multiple options are available) before ultimately deciding that it isn’t worth the relatively minuscule cost.
I have a problem where everything that I want to buy has been discontinued years ago, so my days of research end up being all for naught by the time I’m ready to pull the trigger. I really need to start reading the publish dates on web pages…
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. The stereotype of impulse buying is overshadowed by the compulsive need to absolutely make sure the dopamine high off the product is worth the money spent.
Why do we do this, and then sometimes buy crap on impulse and then regret such low quality products without any research? I hate that trait of mine. There’s no in-between.

Multiple options will one day be my demise.
