The only people who have gear problems are people who buy and sell cameras
but barely shoot pictures with them. Shoot with them on a very shallow
level. Feel they need to declare they have a big interest in PHOTOGRAPHY or
are photographers. But can't bring that camera passion and playing with
money passion into making pictures passion.
Those are the the only people who have gear problems.

Why can't they just say "I love to buy and sell cameras" is there something
wrong with that?  NO it has to be justified with a shallow photography
thing.
If you loved collecting stamps would you feel like you needed to call
yourself a graphic artist? An illustrator? An expert in graphic design?
Heck no you'd just say " I like to collect stamps".
