[Question] Do you feel pressure to get your collection 'right' or do you buy impulsively? (alien.top)

Don't worry, I have already identified that I am incredibly stupid for feeling this way, but I am always a little stressed when thinking about building my collection. I want a watch for each outfit look and occasion; and they have to showcase an interesting facet of the watch world (history, design, mechanism). And I have a low budget and 12 slots in my box so I feel like each watch has to be very carefully chosen (and often weighed against knowledgeable collectors' opinions). Perhaps this is a curse for us collectors trammelled by a low budget. Does this resonate with anyone else or are you a more impulsive purchaser? How do I relax more?

This is a most mature approach and I will take it all on board, thanks.
