I'm a serious kleptomaniac, stealing all kinds of stuff, mostly fancy expensive pens at school because they look cool. I've shoplifted little cheapo things outta stores a few times, and I just did the worst I ever have.

I stole a $50 green laser pointer out of a RadioShack. I really want to stop, but the urges are so f$%#ing strong... please help me. I don't want therapy or anything, but genuine advice or something..

  1. Buy it instead of stealing. I'm still a kleptomaniac and i'm loving it


  2. You should bring someone with you or stop going to stores altogether until you can control your urge.  The last thing you want to happen is to get caught.  Seriously, that's permanently on your record and theft is no petty crime.  You should go to a support group in the area before you do something you'll regret much later.

  3. If you don't want therapy, then you really don't want to stop.  You're stealing is going to get worse and worse until one time you get arrested, and put in jail.  Therapy will help you get to the bottom of why you steal, and then hopefully you can stop, and lead a productive life.  That's the only advice I can give you.  Sorry.

  4. When you think about shoplifting, think of the consequences if you get caught..just make believe that everyone is watching you steal..that should be enough to make you stop.

  5. why don't you avoid the store if you don't have money..  

  6. Oh no!  This is horrible, i feel so bad for you!  You could maybe try to challenge yourself to buy something if it catches your eye.  instead of thinking "ooh, i really want that, i could have it right if i just took it"  challenge yourself to buy it.  save money, or whatever. it really is more rewarding.  Please try not to.  I'm so sorry, I'm sure it's hard to stop.  But you know you could get into some serious ****.  I answered one of your other questions, and you sounded so nice!  But when you say that you steal stuff, it ruins it for people.  please try not to steal!  good luck.
