  • It’s funny, but more realistically, a hoarder at this mangetude usually has strong emotions tied to items. It can be that it reminds them of something or someone, or they feel a huge amount of guilt at even the thought of tossing it. Could be guilt of climate change or guilt of the item’s purpose being wasted. It could be as simple of being afraid of being in a situation and needing one again.

    Even the hoarders that explain their horde by way of earning money (this will be worth something) is just using it as an excuse to horde. They tend to like the idea of what it could be and enjoy imagining the project, but don’t actually enjoy the action of doing the project. The connection to hoarding items is hoarding the imagination of it, and having the physical thing makes that imagining much more real to them.

    Still, it’s a funny comic.







  • My mom towards my brother. He’s 37 and has no job, smokes weed and plays video games all day. My mom is 70. No idea what he plans to do when she inevitably passes, but I’ve outright told him he’s not moving in with me and I’m not supporting him.

    My mom though, it’s truly a mess of her own making. She harbors a lot of guilt towards picking our father, even though the worst thing he did to us was be uninterested/eventually leave… Still, she has it in her head that making my brother do anything he doesn’t want to is abandoning him in a way, so she lets him do whatever, pays for it, and tell him all the time nothing is his fault and that he doesn’t have to change.

    I love my mom, but damn.
