Everytime i question whether or not I should buy it, i feel guilty but then the magical thinking comes in and i feel like i would never find other good clothing stores if i bought from this one.

I know but im not sure how to handle this. Which is why im posting on here to get some help from the community. Not reassurance seeking but potentially helping bad people or potentially strengthening my ocd idk

@Coul.C You’re making it bigger than it is. You either buy from then or don’t. It’s your choice and yours alone.

I had a similar situation recently. I bought a recliner from a place that was boycotted a couple years ago. I didn't know it until afterwards. So I was afraid I was doing something wrong by taking it. I also worried I would constantly be thinking about the issue everytime I used it. I decided to battle what was likely OCD and take the chair. It arrived yesterday and I fell asleep on it.

Thanks Ben. I wasn’t sure if this was an ocd thing or a principles thing but i think it is a principles thing. There are thousands of other stores out there and i dont think not buying from this one is going to be that big of a deal. I messaged my therapist about it as well so we will see if this is the right path, sometimes she can be vague. I’ve had this concern with music as well though. Or art. If the artist or musician is messed up we shouldn’t listen to their music or watch their art anymore right? This is something i had discussed with someone important to me as well.

@Coul.C It's her job to be vague. Ultimately you have to figure something like this out for yourself and it sounds like you've done that 🙂.
