Are keyboard afficionados compulsive hoarders?
« on: Sun, 06 October 2019, 13:06:42 »
Scientific literature has described a behavior called compulsive hoarders (CH). It's a mental disorder characterized by:
Excessive acquisition of things.Inability to discard collected items.
2% to 5% of adults suffer that pathology. Symptoms worsen with age. It is not known if CH is an isolated problem or if it is part of obsessive compulsive disorder syndrome.

I thought in this while considering to sell or give away some of the keyboard related stuff that I do not need anymore. Now that I think that I am approaching the point where I should have something close to my end game board. Yet, I always have a reason why something must be kept, instead. LOL.
What do you guys think?

I'm not a compulsive hoarder. I can quit whenever I want.

I think if you have a hobby and it involves having stuff, you become a hoarder. Especially when people try to make money off it then you start keeping stuff more because it’ll eventually get harder to buy it again if you decide to sell it.
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.
