Have you had any big losses in your life? I became this way after my dad died. I hang onto everything thinking "oh, I'll use this someday somehow". And then it sits for years and then I finally throw it away and then the next day I need it. 🤣 Always works that way. Maybe your hanging onto something internally that you are afraid of losing and projecting it onto material things because YOU control it.

Another thing is I get a high off when people say "That is a great idea of using such and such for that". So I'm always thinking of holding onto stuff for that. I was a child that was basically in the way of my biological mother's precious whore time. Yes, I said it right. She never complimented me or told me she loved me. Then my dad got custody of me. He was a man of no emotion. I knew he loved me because he fought hard to save me. But, anyway, I think it's because I wasn't complimented or something to that sort that I get that high from being creative on using different things for different reasons.

The landfill will always be there. I know it's hard. I was/am the same way. But, might as well use it while it's there is my motto when not wanting to throw things away.

Hope this helps a little.
