Yeah well it’s old but the bad weird news like mortgage moratoriums has an unusuaL effect on me . I literally feel like I am about to be cheated. I got angry at the realtor. I think this may be an actual mental problem not yet in the dsm… Cheated isn’t strong enough … I feel like about to be robbed. i get sweaty. tight.

I feel l like im going to be the only one paying…even tho I know that’s irrational…but it’s not an intellectual reasction. it’s more like a fight or flight thing

I’m trying to be a grown up but I have a panicked physical reaction when spending a lot of money.. Maybe I’m just suffering from miserliness and it has no connection to housing….yes I think that’s it. I could never spend more than 15,000 on a vehicle Under any circumstance … Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

You can’t lose yr down payment if you don’t sell. But it can sure feel like it if there’s no realistic way you’ll ever get it back.

Fear of being without cash

I am bad for the economy. this country requires boldness an dfearlessness

At what point so social fears become pathological?

ah the mental weight of being not wealthy but not broke, just wealthy enough to not just feel like nothing down is nothing to lose, kinda like i felt when i took on all that student loan debt

I guess all psychological blocks are to some extent whining as there is really not anything physically or objectively wrong. but maybe i’m just trying to justify being a whiner by characterizing my state as a psychological disorder.

Fear of being vulnerable

Fear of not having options.

Or just miserliness… although the money itself doesn’t give me pleasure … i hate ina visceral way to risk money.
