About a feeling

I love the way it makes me feel. I always feel important or confident. What is this thing you ask? I love shopping and I really dont mean to sound like a typical female. I do not put this wonderful feeling above my responsibilities like paying my bills or buying groceries. Yet I wonder am I alone? Does anyone else know this feeling? I never really was one who liked to stand out or draw attention to myself, and until recently I have been a shadow of a person trying to hide from popular sight. However when I finish a transaction I gain confidence, I feel my confidence growing. Maybe its just my fashion sense growing with the transaction.  Am I making anysense? Tell me what you think am I gaining confidence from the joy of shopping or from feeling more comfortable with my fashion style?
