Most things seem like a sin

[God's Soul]

Grooming seem like a sin, trying to be attractive etc
Wanting to buy stuff that aren't absolutely necessary s food seem like a sin for you are seeking material things, prideful and idolatry like
Even food, not necessarily overeating but somewhat more than necessary
Watching horror or action movies, going out even if not doing anything wrong unless it's a trip to the church or a family trip
Listening to music that isn't religious
Technology
Even celebrations and some Christian costumes
I'm starting to think I have to build a cabin, grow my own crops and read the Bible 24/7 in order to live my life accordingly
I think I'm falling into some soft of a spectrum so would appreciate input

Hello God's Soul, here are links to a couple of short articles about the word "adiaphora" that should prove to be useful.

God bless you!!

You are not going to escape sin in a cabin because you will bring all your imperfections with you.

Humans learn by making mistakes. We make mistakes because we are not perfect. It's better to make mistakes and repent than to never make mistakes at all, because if you never make mistakes, you will never learn. This is like a student who refuses to do his homework to avoid making mistakes. Well, that's not how it works. You must do your homework—that is, live your life, make your decisions, discover your mission in life, make mistakes, repent, correct them, and discover who you truly are.

To shut yourself in a cabin goes against the purpose of all this: to grow and learn where your actions REALLY lead and to discover who you REALLY are. God will not allow you to close yourself in a cabin. God is going to force you to take your own decisions, and if you refuse to make mistakes... well, you will make mistakes sooner or later. Then comes the next step: to repent. Repentance means changing your life when you clearly see that you have made a mistake. The danger in life is being unable to repent from a mistake, getting trapped in sin, and repeating a pattern that leads nowhere, forever.

From experience, I can tell you that when you have gone through all the dangers of different sins, the idea of living in a cabin can seem like a pleasure. In fact, there is a moment when you may have to refrain from retreating to a cabin and forgetting it all. So, it’s not a bad idea... but first, you have to understand why it is not a bad idea.
