No it's not, it's just making sure you're spending money for a reason instead of just spending everything that isn't associated with a specific saving goal you have today.

You can spend thoughtfully and still enjoy yourself.
You should be looser with the money leftover after allocating a portion to specific savings goals. You have to live a little
Especially in the context of OP’s situation who is clearly depriving themselves of basic life experiences.
Your advice alludes to spending money only on basic necessities and nothing else, even if that isn’t what you meant

You keep saying I alluded to this or implied that.
Just read what I actually said, which you probably don't like to hear since it doesn't encourage frivolous spending.

Clearly, the implications were there. Again, whether you meant to or not.
Hence the downvotes.
I don’t think anyone here would disagree that you should spend all dollars thoughtfully. Clearly that isn’t what you communicated
