Addictive personalities

Clodfobble · 03-05-2012, 08:16 AM

I have the opposite of an addictive personality. My instinct is to compulsively throw things out if I don't use it frequently, and deny myself indulgence items because I don't really need them. I saw an episode of Law & Order once that claimed this behavior is still a subset of OCD, same-coin-different-side to being a hoarder. Many times I've regretted getting rid of things that I later needed, nevermind how mad Mr. Clod gets when I throw out something that belonged to him, so I've worked pretty hard to temper the behavior.
