Marketplaces have become extremely popular at the moment. They are convenient and allow a person to order a product remotely.

Despite the benefits of marketplaces, they can be addictive for some people.

According to the Moscow Agency, the head of the master's program "Social Psychology in Real and Virtual Space" at MGPPU, Olga Krushelnitskaya, reported on signs of dependence on marketplaces.

It is noted that the addicted person constantly monitors discounts and reviews of products, registers on many sites, and also eagerly scrolls through pages in anticipation of the next discounts.

According to the expert, a person who is addicted to marketplaces often does not have enough money for necessary things: food, paying utility bills.

In addition, he may be in debt in order to get the desired item from the online store.

Krushelnitskaya clarified that most often people with depression, anxiety and other psychological problems become addicted.

She explained that shopping is a temporary way to get rid of a bad mood. Soon after the purchase, a person's condition may worsen due to a feeling of guilt.
