How to beat fantasia compulsions & over critiquing my WOL?

This sounds like a shit post but I promise it’s genuine and I just have something wrong with my brain, lol.

But as the title suggests, lately every time I log in I feel this compulsive need to critique the features of my WOL. It’s so silly, but playing a cat girl with white hair part of my concern is that I’m just too basic. But I LOVE my cat girl and have grown very attached to her over the years I’ve played her! Plus the white hair and black eyes allow her to match with any colors I use in my glamours, which is why I keep going back to her. I feel OCD when it comes to outfit colors matching the character.

Still, I sort of feel like maybe it’s time to switch things up. I want to be a bunny or an elezen but don’t really love the height. I’m a tall-ish woman in real life and don’t really want to be towering over my peers in game like I do my girl friends in real life.

Anyways, anyone have any tips for beating the fantasia compulsion? I keep on spending money on them to change to a new race temporarily only to desperately miss my basic cat girl and switch it back before the hour is up. It is so irresponsible for me to be spending my money like this though ;-;

This post was a bit of a nothing burger, but it feels good to put my thoughts out there because I’ve been feeling SO silly for spending so much of my time in game just analyzing my character.

EDIT: you all are so lovely!!! I really thought I was going to be bombarded with comments calling me a troll, but it’s been so nice to hear how much people relate / the advice everyone is so freely giving.

Also, I’m on Crystal Mateus and in need of friends.. feel free to send me a dm if you are on my server and want to hang out sometime! I am usually online from 7-10pm pst :)

Some random sexist man told me I need to “follow” while my boyfriend “leads” while going on a walk ;-;

He was holding up a poster that says “spread love john 3:16” & was walking around our neighborhood. When we walked by him I (F27) walked in front of my boyfriend to make room for him to pass… and then he points at me and goes “you follow” then points at my boyfriend and says “you lead, god bless”… it took me a couple of seconds to realize he was TRYING TO PUT ME IN MY PLACE AS A WOMAN and OMG my blood was boiling from that encounter… I really wish I was quicker with that stuff so I could’ve told him off but it just took too long to click. I haven’t experienced such blatant sexism since going to church. Why are people like this?
