(Anonymous) 2025-01-02 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)Like, I'm not saying there's no such thing as book hoarders, but the typical "I have 500 books on shelves that I've been meaning to get around to for 10 years" is not the same as a hoarder. Even if it's not trash/food, the fundamental feature of hoarding is the way it completely degrades the ability to use the space OR the things that are hoarded.
Overbuying books is a bit of a dumb bad habit but it's a meaningfully different problem from hoarding.

Anyone with dozens of "to be played" games in their Steam account should agree with this. Or call themselves a socially acceptable hoarder by their own standards.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-03 12:52 am (UTC)(link)Hoarding is keeping stuff you aren't using and realistically aren't going to use, period.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-03 01:48 am (UTC)(link)"Period" LOL I've never hear hoarding being used the way you define it. Having stuff at home that doesn't serve a particular function be it paintings, books, knick-knacks, whatever, even a stamp collection ain't hoarding either. It's just humans being humans.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-03 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)Depends on why it's in storage and whether there's something compulsive about it. Some rich dudes like having expensive cars they almost never drive, and sometimes don't even know how to drive. Is is hoarding? Some people have tons of Pokémon cards in binders and sleeves they barely take out so they don't accidentally damage them. Is it hoarding? I can see where buying stuff you never look at is hoarding but I think it still depends on why you're doing it.
