Am i a hoarder?

4 Comments

I keep things that have meaning to me or things that I could possibly use in the future.
If I receive something like chocolates from a close friend or if someone close to me writes me a note or draws me a picture, I'd prefer to keep it than throw it away. I can throw away trash & garbage with no problem, I like to keep things that I feel are special.
My sister calls me a hoarder & that I should just throw it away. But I don't want to. They mean something to me.
Is that hoarding? I means it's not like my whole room is filled with trash. Just a few boxes that once contained gifts & some papers.

    It's difficult to make a hard and fast judgment on whether or not someone is a hoarder by just reading a post without seeing any pics.

    No, you're not. You're a sentimentalist. Hoarders keep things which mean nothing. You keep things which mean something. Sounds normal to me. But then, I'm biased because I do the same as you.

    From what you say I don't think you are. You attach feelings to things. My son once took an empty tissue carton out of the trash cause the box has kittens on it:)

    Me too. I still have a blanket from "babyhood" and never gave it just because of memories. Same with my plushies.
