No rude answers or answer i should see a therapist.

I dont think so but here is a test you can do if you like to.Give your mom a kiss and tell her you love her. http://www.gotoquiz.com/should_you_see_a_counsoler_or_therapist

If you are going to insist that no one tell you the truth - which is that you BADLY NEED TO SEEK COUNSELING - then pretty soon you will end up with lots of unanswered questions.

You'd better hope Yedda gets a constant stream of new members - and that none of them check out your profile and your previously asked questions or the answers you've received before they reply - because otherwise, it's gonna get real quiet over in your neck of the woods.

Q: "So did I overreact to her original remark?"

A: Yes. But then again, you always do.

You need to realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and when you argue with someone who is set in their ways, no one wins.

I know a woman who buys the highest priced products she can afford and will not consider that something less expensive may be just as good.  Now, I can argue with her until doomsday that Kraft mayonaisse is just as good for making tuna salad and it's $1.25 cheaper than Hellman's.  But, it's easier to just let it go.

Don't take her views as disapproval.  People close to you don't always show you the same tact they would grant a total stranger.

Okay, I'm not telling you to see a therapist--manyhere have tried and you haven't listened anyway.  In answer to your ridiculous question, YES, you over-reacted.  You, again, took an innocent remark made by your mom and twisted it around to meet your own needs.   And, for the record, most people  are not that impressed by the clothes others wear and where they got them.

Dear VP, You said you didn't want rudeness or advice to get therapy but you didn't say that you didn't want the same answer as you've gotten to numerous prior posts so I have mine on speed recall and here it comes;

"It's my impression you have a need for the drama/conflict caused by the type of clothes you wear, whether they are new or used, the way in which you wear them, whether or not what you wear is appropriate for the occasion (for example, a job interview) and how your mother views you with regard to all of the above clothing issues. After reading a number of posts from you, I've concluded that this is such an important part of your life that you're not going to give it up, nor are you going to give up asking us what we think about it. This is not necessarily wrong, it's a kind of consenting adult thing, and if you get some sort of satisfaction and it's not hurting anyone, then by all means continue doing your clothes thing."

Yes, you should see a therapist.

Hello, Yes you over reacted. No, you don't need to see a therapist. If your mother did this a lot then I would say you didn't over react. I also shop thrift stores, I love getting bargains, name brands, at cheap prices. I alway's look like a million dollars. My mother sticks her nose up at these shops. But I know in my heart who's the fool. Keep doing what you do, have fun, and hold your head high. No one knows where you bought your clothes, unless you tell them. You should be proud of yourself.
