Feel like quitting the hobby, need advice :)
Alright to start off, I have OCD, but ultimately I want to be able to get past this because I want to be able to enjoy the hobby.
I’ve recently found about 30 of my Minifigs with heel cracks, which drives me nuts because I like my things (especially collectables) to be in good shape. It’s quite frustrating knowing that these expensive products can break just from existing, I’m sure a lot of people will agree on that.
But it’s been driving me up the wall.. more than it should. I’ve gone to every length to prevent different types of damage - keeping figs out of sunlight, letting family members know not to spray essential oil based sprays in the same room (the occasionally forget, which bothers me knowing I can’t prevent this). Now purchasing those little leg stand pieces.
But it still feels like not enough, I can’t stop others from spraying sprays and I can’t guarantee that the torsos and arms won’t crack.
Does anyone have any mental tips/advice to try and get past this? I want to be able to enjoy the hobby the way I used to again.
Thank you all in advance and please be kind 🙂
