Hoarding involves this same type of object attachment, as well over-reliance on possessions and difficulty being away from them.
Their experiences have taught them their self-identity is tangled up in what they own; that if they part with their possessions, they will lose themselves.
Many also feel responsible for objects and for the environment. While others may not think twice about discarding broken or disposable things, people with hoarding disorder can anguish over their fate.
This need to control, rescue, and protect objects is often at odds with the beliefs of friends and family, which can lead to conflict and social isolation.
