Fear and anxiety drive the hoarder - all that stuff is protective, even if the hoarder can't verbalizes what he is needing protection from.

The hoarders always started their collections with news paper. Fascinating.<br /><br />I am friends with a young girl who just moved to Manhattan to go to college. I am going to quote you about the NYC glance. Also fascinating.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-39976308422860942632013-04-11T08:12:04.817-04:002013-04-11T08:12:04.817-04:00Fascinating.

I...I'm fascinated by OCDs of every description. I have several notebooks of classic examples. I believe they're mainly motivated by extreme anxiety and the adoption of an obsessive ritual that keeps the anxiety at bay. I think you're right about the "onrushing tide of fear."<br /><br />Hoarders create huge problems for other people, not least when they're ill or dead and it's virtually impossible to reach them through the accumulated spoils.<br /><br />How fortunate that you finally managed to glimpse the interior. I think every city dweller has honed the "stealth assessment" you refer to. And I love your phrase "the glorious horrible insanity of the city." Those three words capture the uniqueness of cities beautifully.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-31372269428529123702013-04-10T08:26:02.312-04:002013-04-10T08:26:02.312-04:00fascinating....love the people you bring out besid...fascinating....love the people you bring out besides the hoarder...they give the world such texture eh? ha. imagine getting to see inside the house for real...scary yet exciting to walk through the maze...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
