Anyone here buy toys to keep themselves from going insane from their job? That little bit of high after receiving a new one and opening it, just keeps me going with good energy at work for a week and a half.

All the time. I used to work 60 to 70 hours a week, and spent much of the day working with vendors and distributors, along with training employees and handling phone calls. The little free time I had, I'd reward myself by buying things just to feel like I did something, before going to bed and returning to work, where I'd get fucked around by my district manager, who was a childless single woman who was a similar age to myself and badly needed someone to fuck her and would be a bitch to everyone because of it, and invent reasons to fire people since she was handed the job due to nepotism, because her father was friends with somebody. So this woman who was handed everything in life was then put in a leadership role that she was never qualified for. She'd also make us all attend mandatory meetings and force us to read books on business, which she said would get us to work together as a team, but only pissed everyone off. Then we'd have to all discuss the book in follow-up meetings, but most everyone would never read the book.

To some degree, yes. Overall though it's chasing a childhood I couldn't have because I grew up poor. Walking past those $100+ lego sets as a kid and not being able to get any of them... Now I can. It's nice just being able to afford what I want. I'm not interested in cars or "guy" stuff so this is about as good as it gets. I guess I could get addicted to drugs though.

That was me until I a medical condition I've had since birth worsened to the point where I can't work. Now I'm a NEET but thankfully, because I made a decent amount of money and paid my taxes, I get a decent amount of NEET bux that I can live off of and enjoy my toy habit.

used to do the same thing with games and dvds instead but the dopamine hit stops working once you realize you dont actually have the free time to go through it all, toys are more instantaneous

Not insane because I like my job, but I do buy toys as a reward for working hard. They're also good for helping me clear my mind when I'm stuck on a project. I do design work so when I can't come up with ideas for a campaign or something I'll take a break and fiddle with toys for a while to let my subconscious deal with it for a bit.

Toys are a substitute for cocaine for me. I had a bad habit and to beat the addiction I had to bring in something else I enjoyed more. I always loved toy design and toys so that's what I swapped in. Now I have a bunch of physical items instead of fuzzy memories to illustrate my waste of money.

yeah definitely, although at some point i would wait til the weekends so i wouldn't open up something while mildly upset or just too tired to really enjoy it. then that became every few weeks. fast forward 3 years and a lot of that is still boxed, but I am chipping away and recently started cataloguing everything to trim the fat
because you can go the other way, and get burnt out of collecting as well. sometimes i feel overwhelmed by how many figures i have amassed. and i am constantly self-evaluating what i already have as well as what i have my eye on
usually you'll know right away if you want a toy or not, but if you are waning or trying to make excuses to pick it up just put it on your amazon wish list and keep an eye out for a sale. like today I got a MODOK for half price, whereas I almost pulled the trigger when he was 25% a few months ago (excluding exclusives and limited run stuff obvs)

I guess. I do get a bit of a dopamine hit just going to the store and looking at toys let alone buying. I never thought of it this way. working full time sucks, I wish I only had to work part time but I dont really have much of a choice right now
>inb4 be a neet
its a dream, but Ive been a neet before and I didnt really like it that much. I think theres a good middle ground. anyway OP maybe there is just something in your life that needs a little changing. I cant really say more than that.

working 11 hours work night shift with a certain online brokerage company. with 2 hours commute to work and 2 hours commute back, its really mentally draining.

even buying gunpla and coomer toys is slowly not even doing it for me. wishing times are simpler

Holy shit you need to get your commute down, bro. I had a 1 hour commute there and back at one time and even that was draining. Only way I can imagine that working is if you're really into audiobooks and podcasts

I wish I had this kind of job. I'm very introverted so night shift sounds heavenly. And 2 hours commute sounds like plenty of time to consume my library of movies, shows, and ebooks. Unless you mean 2 hours of driving, which is hellish sounding.

the commute is fine, but back then, I was in the morning shift. so after the shift and the start of the day off, I can go to the local mall and check out the gunpla and various tech gadgets and be energized for the whole week.

now, its go home and sleep all day even on my days off. the night shift is really tiring mentally

Being an essential worker made it impossible for me to take a break. I got on eBay and sold 90 percent of my toys. I made 20k in month . What did I do? I got back into Masterpiece transformers . It’s a good high not gonna lie. It’s expensive especially from 5 years ago.

Buying toys in OPs case is counter productive since it only makes you more reliant on your job to afford your current life style. Save that money to invest in yourself and a new skill for what you want to do in life, knowing it'll take you away from your job will only motivates you and once you have it you can buy figures when you want and not to firther put you in debt.
