Ah loneliness always makes me ask certain questions, one that has been on my mind for awhile is : while hoarding is thought to be a result of people having compulsive disorders, what about lonely people O: ?
But I'm not talking about the massive, over the top uncontrolable type ^^ more like....um....well people who tend to collect and buy stuff to fill in the void in their life o.o; .....thats how my best friend describes it lol.
Yay I went to my best friends house 2 weeks ago and I noticed that for each visit, the junk in her room kept piling up....what I mean by junk is trinkets you know, things that we don't necessarly need but keep or collect. Her room is filled with : plushies, stationnery, little boxes, toys, candy, figurines, notebooks, my drawings, jewelry, candles, old balloons, birthday and x-mas cards and ect...
I asked her why she never threw anything away ( she still has the origami cranes I folded for her 4 years ago X__X ) and why she keeps buying stuff like that, she litterarly told me it made her happy and filled up w/e void she had inside of her.....
but material belongings only give us short term satisfaction ....we always need new stuff to be happier....but until when ;...I swear even her bed is filled with stuff idk how she sleeps, theres barely any room to walk, I always feel like I suffocate in there....
Then I looked into my own room and realised I was not any better, perharps because mine is bigger and my junk is more organised I did not see it at 1st lol...but lately...I've been missing space....and pondered to buy new furniture to which my mom reacted and said : '' you got enough space honey just get rid of all that useless junk you keep '' I'm like what useless junk O_O....goes into room and scans '' oh..right...oh boy... ''
OH man I need to post pics of my room but why not my desk for a quick example XD

Alright that pic is from early september 2010, see that empty space on my desk, well now it's filled with even more junk O_O !!!!
And all the furniture with available space in my room is filled with stuff like that : anime figurines, cute stationnery lol, candles, magazines, note pads, mangas, small plushies....just really random junk ..you should see my keychain collection too :/ , I also have tons of books and posters and pics on my walls and it just keeps growing.
I realised that I feel better when I'm surrounded with things ..especially if it is things that I like or connected to games, books or shows I enjoy......the last thing I purchased was a figurine of a shyguy from the mario games...I mean I don't necessarly need it but it made me happy, now it just sits on my desk along with other things lol....see what I mean :/
So do you guys do that ? Collect things compulsively X___x..... and how much is reasonnable enough o.o;
I think lonely people do that cause they need something to hold on to when they have nobody, like a lonely grown man that collects comic books :/ ( lmao I had that flash of the comic book guy from simpsons XD )
