Negative effects of online shopping addiction

According to the Addiction Center, online shopping addiction may be present in a person who lies about their spending and buying habits, conceals purchases from loved ones, and engages in compulsive online shopping.

Addiction to online shopping can negatively affect a person's finances, relationships, and mental health.

With the convenience and accessibility of online shopping, people can buy from anywhere at any time, making it easy to develop unhealthy shopping habits. Excessive shopping can lead to severe financial hardship and strain on relationships.
