This Dr. Is my favorite person since I discovered him. Just to hear hisVoice it calms me down,It has help me so much I watched all his videos it’s like it just guides me to not become a full-blown hoarder for real. Now I get it things got to have a house to be able to organize my life. I learned this from another video with him And I was waiting to find more so now I’m about to watch this one I can’t believe I found another new video with this doctor again.

These videos are good they help me deal with my mom. As a child of a hoarder I constantly get rid of everything I own even stuff that I love it's not fun.So I'm like the opposite.

I think it shows that we all can probably walk out of many bookshops without buying ‘that book’. And yes, whenever I have left it, I feel minimal urge to go back and buy it. In fact, I’m relieved that I didn’t once again waste my precious money. Now for our next video... how to deal with the guilt between you and the owner, that you keep on looking at your favourite bookshop’s books, thumbing their pages etc., and rarely actually buying any. Particularly relevant when you can take a photo or mark it down, and get it way cheaper online...

Very insightful video. I have some of the same internal dialogue when I'm shopping too. It is really weird how you can get so fixated on something and have to have it. I've been working on that on myself and I'll catch myself thinking that way and I try to take a step back and rationally weigh the pros and cons of any purchase. It seems helpful, like in the video, to step back because it 1) slows the rate of purchasing and 2) gives you space from your emotions which seem to get really excited in the moment. I see how, even in myself, people with hoarding tendencies can become emotionally attached to physical objects. Someone might even "fall in love at first sight" with an object and just have to buy it. And then that emotional attachment prevents them from throwing it away.

So sad to see people like this, making all those thoughts about what bad would happen if they didn’t buy the book, but asking themselves one question seems to be impossible. The question of „am I going to use it or not?“. It’s like they are the perfect slave of consumerism, just want, no need. They don’t even make up their mind on what exactly to buy, they just need something to fill the void for the shortest amount of time possible.

Now i am presuming this guy lives in a library of cookbooks. 🤓🧐But he thinks he would lose all his friends if he has not purchased this one book. The philosophy of the hoarder.

Mom: No, we're not getting that! Kid: Waaaaahhhh!
