Are you a hoarder?

Am I the only one who find it hard to let go old stuff? Old shirts, tools, books etc. A long list. I always get a 1000 ideas of “possible” usage of different things just when I’m about to throw it and hence ends up with not doing it.

How quickly you get rid of stuff you arent using?

Nope. I'm a hoarder, too. I easily develop sentimental attachment to things. I still have clothes from when I was 15-16-17 years old...and refuse to give them away.

I guess my thinking is why get rid of it if it is not broken? Maybe we just have a value for money.

Definitely a hoarder.

Re: Are you a hoarder?

I don't have a problem getting rid of stuff. My problem is organizing the stuff I do have. When I can't find something that I know I have, I go out and buy a replacement. It's a never ending cycle! Thus, my place defines hoarding. I am so ready for spring cleaning. God knows how many of each I have.

If we are still with GS after these many years (12 yrs in my case) then we definitely have a issue in letting go :)

Am I the only one who is not a hoarder around here?

I am not a hoarder at all, I throw away stuff mercilessly. I don't think I ever keep anything a few years old. I once threw away a pile of 'old documents' that contained my active passport, lol.

Definitely hoarder! I am either sentimental about things and keep them or I think of potential other uses.....or even that I can leave it and give away to someone at some point. I think it's a generational thing even?

I always end up developing a strong emotional connection with different things... I still have my school batches, college cards e.t.c. Really want to get out of this hoarding habit.

No! You’re in good company with me. :k: I am ruthless when it comes to purging items. I find the more I have the harder it is for me to keep my home clear so I regularly sort and ask myself if I truly need a particular thing.
