clutter makes me feel safe and comfortable, also I'm depressed/lazy and don't clean very often, but the reason that I collect things or don't throw them away is that they might have some use to them someday or because I see the items as artistic or evocative in some sense (although usually this isn't about memories). I'm not a horrible hoarder right now, but I could very easily see myself becoming one.

as far as why... besides being alphaI've had some fires in my life that destroyed all my mementos up to that point. i think that screwed me up on some subconscious level. also, throwing away stuff feels like losing part of my life.

That's really hard. I can see myself being traumatized by something like that and wanting to hold onto things, especially if some of them reminded me of the people I love.

Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
