      Yeah, I used to have sticker anxiety. Then I had unfettered access to a vinyl cutter at work for a few years … turns out if you can just make another on a whim it takes the pressure off. And eventually that anxiety disappears for all stickers.

    Do what I did and get a stickerbook. It’s a book of blank pages that are coated with some kind of slick surface that allows you to stick and restick stickers over and over again. I’ve got all my stickers in mt stickerbook and it really takes the pressure off because I can use my stickers safely and not worry about sticking them to something that I might eventually get rid of or sticking them to something that I’ll end up regretting in some other way.

      When I was a kid, we used photo albums. The kind where you lift the plastic sheet and put the photos under. This way we never even peeled the stickers from their backing.

      I bet your stickerbook looked much cooler though.

    I rarely used any of my toys as a kid that needed batteries, because i was afraid of them running out.

      I’ve thought a lot about some of my own tendencies like this and realized it all boiled down to my parents being unreliable at refilling consumables for me or doing things they’d say they’d do for me

    I heard about a technique where you stick the stickers to a magnetic sheet and then trim it around the sticker, then you have a reusable sticker for your fridge, etc

    I want to get posterboard and display all my stickers

    Another option is to make a scrapbook, but of stickers—a stickerbook, if you will
