| Hello people ~ Are you the kind of person to hoard stuff? Hoarding is accumulating items to a certain amount. Such an amount might be deemed unnecessary or obsessive. And such a behaviour might be triggered by disorders or else. I personally hoard newspapers when receiving them through snail mail. Though they're advertisements, I can't pass up on them. My excuse being, on the moment, that I may analyse how they advertise. Needless to say I never do ~ Also, while devising plans to sell a good, I thought: Perhaps, hoarding and collectionning are cousins. Might this be a viable economic model? For instance, using hoarding, trauma-caused, and emotional attachment: A waifu in an anime dies tragically after being made really lovely. The consumer is traumatised a bit by her death. The otaku community seems to take pride in collectionning material goods. Otaku goods about a trauma-inducing character might sell really well. Profit exists ~ Share with us what you seem to collect with no real purpose, too, if so you wish! |

| I collect cringe MAL posts that are always over the top in bbcode production than is needed. Like the stanza post kids. P.S- Stop typing in purple because it hurts my eyes and I can't see shit. Thnx. |
| Nothing really, though I due have old papers and handouts from school sticking out of my bag because I'm too lazy to organize. I also still have all my toys from my childhood shoved in a closet, though that's probably also laziness. Not that I've tried throwing it out. Maybe I am just holding onto youthful innocence or something. Preserving memories isn't necessarily a bad thing as I've seen it presented as. |
 I can see you |
| @MasterGlyth Same, handouts sticking out my bag. Same laziness. Even my school documentation remains by my side. For toys, I conserved few: Pokemon figures as doorsteps, and some marbles because that's the noice. Also a few Pokemon cards that I'll eventually sell? Don't think I'm holding onto youthful innocence, as I don't think I've been so innocent... Preserving memories is an excellent thing for a writer or a person needing a filled imaginary, or a person whose main prospect of happiness is nostalgia. |

| i'm bad at getting rid of childhood things - whether that's because of the nostalgia, or because i'm fucking lazy, i don't know. i now buy things less though, in the hopes it'll decrease this type of 'hoarding' in the future. |

| I collect comics along with some books and other assorted trinkets. However, I wouldn't consider myself a hoarder. If something is old and can't be fixed I toss it. If i have no desire to keep something I will either donate it or sell it. I know lots of people who have boxes of junk lining their houses to the point you cannot walk through it without bumping into something. Personally I consider that hoarding since it impedes the cleanliness of one's home. Whereas a collector keeps their items in good condition and out of travel lanes. |

| I do hoard things with the intent of using it in the future. Rarely does this pan out and I end up doing an audit every now and then. |
| i never have or had enough money to collect or hoard stuff :( Though i used to collect anime card games when i was in kindergarten. |
