After I think about it a while, tons of
unanswerable questions pop up. Something like; why do hoarders hoard?
It may sound like an easy question, but in
actual truth, it isn’t.
Try and ask a person that hoards, why they
do it. They won’t be able to tell you.
It really is quite hard, because everything
in their possession has some form of connection to their life, or to other
people. Maybe a strong relationship they once had or a good feeling that a specific
object brought upon them. So whatever the connection was, it was special. And
now they have another something to add to their collection of stuff. Stuff they
can’t get rid of because it holds that feeling or reminder of why it is there
in the first place.
There are so many reasons why hoarders do
what they do. Mainly it is something to do with the brain. It is a
physiological way of thinking that mentally brainwashes them into thinking
everything can be used for more then it’s original purpose. They desire to keep
things that may be useful in the future, or maybe it’s because they want to
preserve the memories that come with keeping something of little or no value.
So to think
rationally; hoarders hoard because they find it pleasant to take things and
store them for either later use, or simply just because they like to accumulate things.
