This is how I know you're probably over -consuming.

In today's episode of Under the Influence, we need to be brutally honest with ourselves or else we'll blink

and we'll have spent years in clothes we don't even like and have spent thousands of pounds on things we never needed.

We'll be even more confused about our personal style and the planet's gonna be worse off for it.

Throughout today's video, I'll be sharing my telltale signs of over -consumers but don't worry, if you feel called out,

Hopefully by the end of this video, you'll have some tips that help you make real change.

I'm Em and I'm extremely passionate about getting us all to think more critically when we engage with media online,

especially when it comes to influencer culture.

If you're interested in being de -influenced daily, you're more than welcome to join my free newsletter under the influence on Substack

or follow me on all the other platforms as Ordinary Em.

So how do I know that you're probably over -consuming?

Well, I've got six telltale signs and the first one is that you don't experiment with what you have

You just buy the whole trending outfit

Now this is such a waste of money for two reasons

One being that you probably already have clothes in your wardrobe that can curate a similar -ish outfit or style or vibe

But they feel more you and probably fit better on you

And number two, if you only buy these clothes with

that one outfit in mind

you're probably never going to wear them again unless you repeat the entire outfit

now i am outfit repeating's number one fan

but i think it's fair to say that

if you are buying entire outfits

because they're trending well maybe you're not a fan of outfit repeating

now i understand why people do this in the first place

because i've done it too you're uncertain of your style

you want to feel fashionable you want to feel put together

so you just buy it all it's a very simple solution to a rather frustrating problem

that a lot of us come across you know in our lives it's also

so convenient when influencers link every single item

and maybe throw in a little discount code for you as well it literally couldn't be easier

but you end up with two things you probably don't want one clothes you don't know how to style individually

and two an outfit

that looks like everybody else you're not going to find your personal style by imitating others

but more on how to fix that later

because i've been guilty of the second telltale sign as well number two you buy clothes

because they're cheap on sale

or a bargain we all love a good bargain no one more than me

i live for the reduced section yellow sticker the adrenaline

that goes through my body when i see that yellow sticker

and it tastes so much better when it's like a tenth of the price

so i get it i'm not yet to shame anyone but the brutally honest truth is you're not saving

anything if you didn't need it to begin with

which is a heart pill to swallow one a lot of us spit out

i get it there's two things i've mentioned in the section

and we handle them differently cheap versus a bargain

if you're buying clothes because they're cheap i know you're over consuming

and that's because there are already so many cheaply made

and cheaply sold clothes and they don't last anywhere near as long as they should

so you're replacing them at the speed of light

if it doesn't last more than one

or two washes you really shouldn't be then replacing it with the same cheap ass brand

and i'm not saying splurge on expensive brands

or save for really expensive designer brands no no no no i'm just trying to remind you

that is far more cost effective if that is your bottom line

if that is how you consume clothes

and what is at the top of your brain is the money

it is far more cost effective to buy something

that is twice the price three times the price

but outlost your cheaper option by like i don't know three years

so just don't buy from primark

i'm personally not guilty of buying cheap things not anymore I'm I'm not interested at all

but a bargain in a charity shop twist my arm I'm easily convinced

and I'm I'm actually I'm actually really working on it I try

and go in with a small list of things that I need

or would really really love

that have been on my like thrift wish list for years

current wish list is a pair of hiking another pair of hiking trousers I've only got one

and they're not necessarily hiking trousers a pair of hiking trousers and jeans that actually

fit me because i'm short and they are all so long

and i could probably i should go get them taken up

but anyway a pair of jeans that really fit me that's always what i'm looking for when i go in

but if i really love something then that's a different story i also try

and not look at the price i try

and make up my mind by myself before i turn

that price tag over

and i'm like oh four that's that's really good a really helpful way to think about it is i go

if i wouldn't pay full price for this do i really love it

that much or am i just getting it because I'm right in the high of how cheap

and what a bargain this is in this charity shop.

Or this also goes for not being in a charity shop.

I just, that's my personal experience because I don't buy first hand and I'm never in a high street store.

But goes the same for a high street store that has a big sale.

There's so much marketing around that.

There's so much adrenaline.

Would you pay full price?

If not, you're probably not that obsessed with it.

So keep walking.

Now, if you're one of the girlies

that felt called out by my cheap things comment

i have a feeling you might be guilty of my next point as well number three

you throw away items without trying to repair them first we don't repair anymore now

if you buy clothes that are really cheap they're probably going to rip

and ruin far more easily and are made of materials

that aren't even easy to repair the fabrics are so shit

so another argument for buying better clothes is

that you're more inclined to repair them and they're actually made to last years

and years repairing included even think twice about throwing something out but hopefully these images change that for you

i really do want to make a full video on where our textile waste ends up

so if you don't want to miss that subscribe number four

100

if you are buying new for a once -off occasion instead of renting

101

or borrowing you're probably over consuming because there's a lot of events

102

that we only go to once

103

and i get it we all want to look good for our mate's wedding

104

we all want to look sexy for halloween

105

but clothes are not single use

106

you're allowed to re -wear a dress over different years to different events you're allowed to rent clothes

107

and more importantly bring back borrowing the fact

108

that borrowing clothes from our friends isn't our first instinct

109

when going away

110

or to an event just shows how messed up our consumption

111

habits are remember over consumption is buying more than we need

112

or will ever be able to use

113

but also it's not using things for the amount of wares they're ready to give to us

114

that they're made for i also think this is kind of a gateway drug into over consumption because it's

115

so excusable oh it's just for this one party then i'll chuck

116

it on to vintage oh it's this christmas has a different theme this summer has a new core

117

which leads me to number five

118

you buy a whole new wardrobe for each season instead of re -wearing what you had last year

119

this is peak influencer culture this is peak over consumption unless your clothes no longer fit

120

you there is no reason for you to be buying an

121

entire new wardrobe for summer for winter for spring for autumn for anything

122

i know this can sound crazy in this current online landscape

123

but clothes are meant to last for years coats last more than one season

124

so do boots so do bikinis i know

125

that one is you'd never guess it jeans clothes they don't only last a season

126

and i fear that if you have done this

127

or are thinking about doing this buying a whole new wardrobe for a season

128

you're under the influence they've got

129

you you are no longer in control of your consumption habits you're no longer in control of your wallet

130

and you no longer care for the environment

131

and your mental health is going to suffer for it and

132

if that sounds extreme then I know you're under the influence

133

because buying a whole new wardrobe for a new season

134

that should sound radical that's the insane thing here and

135

if it doesn't sound insane you're probably consuming a lot of content online

136

that is normalizing this kind of behavior

137

so i ask you this was your favorite influencer really obsessed with a piece of clothing

138

if they aren't wearing it again this year

139

and lastly for number six i know you're probably over consuming

140

if you are trying to keep up with influencers who get

141

those clothes for free influencers careers depend on how much trust they can build with their audience

142

which is kind of messed up the parasocial relationship freaks me out

143

but also angers me to a degree when it is used to manipulate

144

and exploit in order for the influencer to make some financial gains

145

i just don't think that's cool at all i think influencers need to be held to a stricter standard

146

when disclosing when stuff is gifted free sponsored blah blah blah

147

because otherwise it creates

148

this really unrealistic idea of what normal consumption looks like what

149

a normal wardrobe looks like what a normal shoe rotation looks like

150

if you're trying to keep up with them i know you're over consuming

151

because they're over consuming it is not normal for people to own

152

that many clothes shoes or jewelry

153

and i'm not going to get into the use of the word normal

154

because i know how defensive people can get over it and maybe I'll do another video on that.

155

But let me be clear.

156

the influencer lifestyle is not normal most people don't live like

157

that therefore you are not behind you're actually part of the majority

158

and therefore should not spend all your time money

159

and energy trying to live like influencers do because you feel behind

160

because you feel left out because you feel abnormal

161

because you feel like you should be embarrassed about the way you live

162

and the little things you own and have or how you don't keep up with the trends.

163

They follow and adhere to trends because it makes them money to sell those trends to you.

164

If you haven't tried to figure out your personal style, you're a slave to the trends and will be until you figure out what you like,

165

who you are, what feels good on you and what brings you joy.

166

That is how you become impossible to influence is you become so sure about yourself, your hobbies, your interests, your values,

167

your morals that you don't feel like you have to adhere to any kind of online trends

168

and i'm not asking you to not consume or buy clothes ever again

169

because that is an unrealistic ask even if

170

that is what the planet needs us to do i'm just asking

171

you to be more conscious about your purchases really consider before

172

you consume let me know how many of my telltale signs applied to you.

173

See you in the next video.

174

Bye.

التركيب	في الفيديو
المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن	have spent · i've done · i've been
المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله	are made · are meant · be held
النصيحة بـ “should” should + فعل — قول ما يُستحسن فعله	shouldn't be · should go · should not spend
المضارع المستمر am/is/are + -ing — شيء يحدث الآن أو في هذه الفترة	are buying · they're trending · you're not saving

نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه

يستخدم المتحدث 97 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل you're, I'm, don't. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.

تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: cloth /klɒθ/, consumption /kənˈsʌmp.ʃən/, wardrobe /ˈwɔɹdɹoʊb/, jeans /d͡ʒiːnz/, trousers /ˈtɹaʊzɚz/
