Secrets and lies
Article Abstract:
A personal narrative is presented, describing the shame felt after shopping and the perceived need to hide the evidence. Techniques are proposed to help avoid the discovery of purchases, including spreading the cost over different payment methods, and disguising new articles as dry cleaning items. Some of the psychological aspects of this guilt are identified.
