rules for participating in capitalism as little as possible

i don't fuck with capitalism

• don't buy any new clothes, decor, accs, electronics (this one only if absolutely necessary
• pay as little for food as possible, focus on buying ingredients, lower animal product consumption
• stop buying beauty products, only buy hygiene essentials: soap, toothpaste, face cream, razor, sunscreen
• don't buy seasonal products: Christmas chocolate etc, only during sales after season (in January buy Christmas chocolate and so on)
• have a good self worth and be content with your life, then it's harder for companies to sell you stuff and you are less likely to fall into their trap
• don't overwork yourself, do what you have to do and not more
• buy fruit and veg on sale, get your vitamins in
• don't pay for subscriptions
• never impulse buy, always make sure you really need it or want it
• get a library card, read books online
• avoid buying single use products (pads, use old textiles instead of napkins etc)
• repair

my backstory

ever since i was a young child, everyone around me (parents, teachers, classmates) expected something great from me. excellent grades, overall flawlessness... when some flaw appeared, i could sense the great disappointment around me. so i tried to make little to no mistakes, to prove everyone right, that one day i will achieve something big. years went on and i became more and more imperfect, plus my mom found a new boyfriend and left my family, which helped me to develop an ed and i had been already suffering from depression at that point, since i had no friends and felt like an outcast. i became a mess. the disappointment was apparent in everyone. well, some people were happy because of my downfall. so picture this, i was a mess flunking in school, had an ed and consumed horrendous amounts of food every single day which caused me to be in pain constantly, but it was the only time i felt at peace, was cutting myself, had no friends, .... it wasn't nice. when i sort of stopped binge eating so much, i lost some weight and had a desirable body for men, so my new source of happiness was their attention. i became an attention seeking whore, which meant i was embarrassing myself constantly.... but it didnt mean i slept with anyone, as i am a virgin still at 21 now, i dont know why i didnt, but i just didnt lol. last year i finished school and started working. if someone tells you that working is worse than school, they might be lying to you. this past year i have felt more peace and freedom than ever before. and i work in customer service, as a cashier zone coordinator in tesco, so i come in contact with thousands of people every day and yes, some of them are the most unbearable shitheads you can imagine. i learnt to accept myself much more and stand my ground.

what i'm trying to achieve

my main goal is the no fucks given lifestyle. let me explain, what i mean by that.
