  
Why Do Some People Love
Clutter?
Clutter, almost all of us have clutter
issues. Everyone has clutter, this is a fact. They can be in
many forms and sizes too. Some people are unaware of this but
we all have clutter. If it’s not out in the open for everyone
to see then somewhere around their house is a pile of clutter
that they are afraid to let go of.
Ever wonder why
other people love clutter? Some people think that having
many things is not a bad thing. But the truth is, having
too much of too many things is really a bad thing! Some
people love clutter for various reasons. Sometimes these
reasons are rational but most of the time, they’re really
not. Clutter is clutter and learning to let them go is
something people should learn. Keep in mind these are all
material things. None of them matter in the
end.
Here are some of
the known reasons why people love clutter and living with
them. They may not apply to all but most of the time
these reasons are the reason why people hold on to
them.
- Reason #1
Memories –
some people are very sentimental when it comes to the good
old days. People would keep even the smallest piece of
paper just as long as they can relate that to some memory
from the past. This gives them the sense of security and
they think if they let go of this piece, the memory that
was planted in their mind is not the same. Truth is,
nothing will change. It’s just an anxiety that they have
whenever someone attempts to throw their own things away.
That is why they love keeping these things because they
will always relate each item to a certain memory. And as a
result, it’s even harder for them to let
go.
- Reason #2 Value of
Price – some
people love to shop especially if they find great bargains.
The more they see good prices, the more they are tempted to
buy unwanted things. In the end, all the items that they
buy are just another reason for clutter to pile
up.
- Reason #3
Collection –
there are people who love to collect different items. Like
me, I like to collect teddy bears when I was younger but as
I grow older, I gave them away. But I still love teddy
bears though, just that I don’t collect them anymore. Some
people have this passion for collecting things that they
will find more items to collect. Unfortunately, some people
do have a collection and it’s all but clutter. Some people
are not aware of this because to them, this certain item is
just another part of their collection.
- Reason #4 Unaware of
clutter –
probably one of the common reasons you will hear from
people who love clutter. They are “unaware” of the clutter
that they are piling. To them it’s just a part of their
house or a memory. They see past the clutter only to find
out that in the end they are already in the
deep.
People who love
clutter must be aware of the consequences of their
behavior. There have been many instances where people who
live with clutter died. Not only that, clutter has proven
to be a health hazard not only to themselves but to other
people as well. So if you think you love to hoard things,
try to seek help immediately. This way you can help
yourself out of a more complicated
situation.
