Hoarding!!!!!!!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. ErrollLeVant (1976)4 months ago

Due to expansion of our building, I was forced to move my office after 19 years in the same place. I found many things I had been saving, thinking I might have use for them later, but which in all likelihood I would never have seen again without the forced move. And even in knowing I would probably never use the things I discovered, I still had difficulty throwing them away!

Do you hoard things like that? Why do we do such?

Yes I am a hoarder or pa ck rat also. I have papers from college and old birthday and mothers day cards too.My son hoards electronic parts and has the house full of them but the other day it came in really handy as my computer up and died on me. the power supply had utterly died.well my son had a spare power supply in among all his hoarded electronic goodies and put it in my computer. Now I am once again back in business hurrah for that. I think we hoard because we look at some item and say Icanot throw that out as I might need it one day. and then we have a ton of stuff that we did not use after all.

Proof that we have too much stuff is the rapidly growing number of self storage places everywhere.

You have identified it. Now get rid of them things that you thought you would need some day. They are obsolete now.
Be brave. You have won yourself.

Congrats.

You are right of course, but it still does not feel good.
