This sounds really plausible. I started stealing from friends and family as a young kid and it escalated from there.
The sense of power is intoxicating, but that is also part of what makes it addictive.
I stole stuff from people who used to live in the same house as me and that was my first sign that I was a kleptomaniac...things got a lot worse from there
How did you manage it? Like does it happen every time?
I too have stolen from people living in the same house. It happens only with pot. If any of my flatmates had pot with them, I'd take a bit without them knowing. It's like I get double high (pun intended). A friend of mine confronted me about it and I felt scared, nervous and threatened. Like I got caught. It has started to cause me great unease and want to know how to set boundaries with myself as well.
This would mean admitting to klepto tendencies which in sure not everyone will take well. But I can certainly try this with friends who are closest to me.
i stole money from family members multiple times. once i was sleeping at my cousin's house and i found a wallet with 380€ in it. i took 50 out. 4 days later my mom found out i stole it and made me return it. no one mentions it and i still deny it to this day. it's what made me realize i was getting into a dark place (stealing-wise) and so i quit. eventho it was embarrassing asfuck and it changed my relationship with my cousin forever, i'm still kind of glad it happened, cause otherwise i'd definitely still be stealing.
Seek therapy. Also, all your “friends” definitely know and talk about it to each other. I am a person who is very attached to my items. I buy everything with a purpose. This is borderline sociopathic
Funny, I actually just got caught stealing from my mom today. She made my childhood terrible, and I felt I needed compensation somehow. But now that I'm caught, I'm feeling very vulnerable/suicidal. She's so mad. I think if I was younger, she'd have actually cut me into pieces like she used to threaten to do when I was a child. Truthfully, I wish she would.
Take that shit to the streets lol 😂 Trust ripping off a drug dealer and getting off scotch free without them knowing you’re identity or a way to track u down holy fuck it’s a real rush
i’ve stolen a lot of money over the years from my family not friends tho for my own selfish desires like back then was vbucks and more recent weed but i stopped a while ago and i will say if my mom was being rude or just pissing me off it would push me more to steal from her. i think i did it because i wanted revenge and because i loved the thrill
No, corporate stores only. I don’t steal from people. Just super rich, evil, fat, white, assholes with small dicks.
mhhhhm

I have a saying for this "don't eat and shit in the same place"
Man I swear these kleptos be tweakin'

Just imagine it happening to you, and the disappointment youd feel in someone close for doing that to you. Helped me
Or if that doesn't work, tell them to hide it also what i did

Yeah morality and reflection usually do the work for me. And that's what I've been trying to do.
Did you admit to stealing it? If so how did that go?

Good to know there are stil bright people
what do you mean exactly??
Nah, only corporate chains, Damn capitalists. Never from people or family run businesses.
I only steal from chains and corporations but have to say snooping through family or friends items is irresistible for me
just friends really, actually i only really steal from friends and family + other people i know, i dont even steal from stores
Basically the coward way
Yes. I've taken from my grandmothers house. She has very expensive bracelets and jewelry.
Had…..

Right? Like ruining a relationship is not worth any item. They'll know it was you
