I'm very indecisive over some very menial things...and no one has this issue as far as I know.
So I am a bit of a techy at heart. I just absolutely enjoy using it and discovering what is new and having things that just scream 'that guy is a nerd'. But it's becoming worrisome to me.
To explain, I have had over 300 phones since I was 18. That's 12 years - or about 25 phones per year. It started out slowly - I wasn't swapping all the time, I kept phones for 6+ months and it was all good. Maybe because it was a bigger sacrifice to buy them?
But now it feels like it's out of control. Everything is on the cloud and restores so I'm not losing anything when I swap, and my phones are bought and sold preowned - I rarely, if ever, buy new from the store. I've even made money on some transactions. But it's February, and I have gone through six phones. Six! And I caught myself sitting and considering an iPhone in trade for my Note (so keep in mind these aren't like...low end devices either, so I have no real reason for any of this).
While the question I want to ask is to determine what would make me happiest as far as a device is concerned, I don't think it resolves the underlying issue. I didn't think this type of...addiction? was a thing. And it's so easy to say 'oh just be satisfied with what you have' or 'just consider how lucky you are' and believe me, I wish it was that easy. But it's not - I can physically feel it. Like an anxiety or a sickness in my stomach, when I haven't done a trade for a while.
If there's ever a time where I felt like I was going insane, this is it.
