> I'm a bit minimalist, and it sounds like you are too. I hate carrying more than one bag when I travel, and the thought of having a ton of stuff I don't need makes me really, really uncomfortable. It's surreal.

To me it's like material things takes up valuable space inside of my head that already cramped more important. It's like even if you don't use the stuff you own, it still takes energy to keep track of it.

The paradoxical thing is that in a way I'm maybe more materialistic than everybody else because I get very attached to things. When I buy things it has to be perfect, and the process of finding the perfect product is sometime so cumbersome that even if it's something that I actually would need, I spend a week researching about what to buy and then end up just skipping it thinking "I managed so far".

Now I gotten so used to this pattern that I've started to actively buy as little as possible just to spare my self from this time consuming process.

Yes, absolutely. As I don't look for endorsement from other people, and money does not either interest me, that's the thing that keeps me going. If perfection and personal improvement wasn't important, then I really wouldn't know what would get me out of bed each day.
