Kleptomania:-The urge to steal something unnecessarily,which will is not needed by the person at that particular time. I usually got this feeling to steal something,when the item concerned attracted me a lot.It was mainly from one of my friends,who used to boast very precious items.But,I never stole anything from him,but at that moment of point,I felt the guilt of being a kleptomaniac. Have you also felt that you are a kleptomaniac?

No, I don't feel that way. First and foremost, I'm contented with the things I have. Secondly, I can buy what I like or if I can't, I can wait for the right time to have them. I don't think I should steal or get something that I don't own. I hate it when I lose some of my belongings, so I don't want to do it to others. But as I have learned from school, kleptomania is a disorder. You don't actually need that thing but you have the urge to get it. So you have to steal it to satisfy that urge. They say that when you are kleptomaniac, you simply can't avoid getting things not yours. So friend, is that what you feel? Goodluck then. I wish you could do something about it because honestly, people will not want being with you if you have the tendency of stealing. Peace! :)
