Hoarding and its types

When a person refuses to give up on things and keeps on accumulating them, he is said to be a hoarder. The things might not be of any use to him but he still buys and stores them or refuses to throw stuff away that she or he should have. In the initial days, accumulating things might seem to be done occasionally. But over time, it becomes a compulsion and the hoarder cannot go on without piling things up.

There are many kinds of hoarders around the world. We present to you a few of them here, in this blog post.

Rubbish Hoarders

Right from chocolate wrappers to cartons, Rubbish Hoarders are known to hoard almost anything and everything. The houses of these kind of hoarders are nothing less than a rubbish bin. It is not only unclean and disgusting but also serves as a home to many insects and a breeding ground for diseases. Studies have found that these people go through other’s rubbish in hope of finding something that they would love to hoard. 

Shopping Hoarders 

A certain kind of shopaholics belong to this category of hoarders. Shopping Hoarders are those people who buy things from all the shops they visit. They do not think before buying stuff. They are not bothered whether they would be using the things they bought in the first place. The only thing they know is that they want to buy it. These people often end up with a lot of unused items (mostly with their price tags still on). 

Food Hoarders

People hoarding food - Is it true? Yes! There are people who hoard food. These are people who feel that they will run out on food if they do not save it. This results in buying and more buying of food stuff and stuffing it in shelves and refrigerators. The food will, no doubt, be spoiled over time and could be a medium to attract germs and diseases.

Animal Hoarders

Animal Hoarders are those pet lovers who outgrow their love for animals in such a way that they want all for themselves. You will find quite a number of pets at their homes. These pets won’t be properly taken care of. Trips to the vet, proper grooming, feeding, taking them out for walks etc. will suffer for there are many who need the attention. To conclude, there will be diseases and a very unhygienic environment.

Paper Hoarders

When a person is not able to give up any piece of paper, he is termed as a paper hoarder. When a person keeps the magazine for himself for want of just one page, he is termed a paper hoarder. Magazines, newspapers, comics, invoices, books, novels, reports – anything made out of paper is treasured by these people. Paper Hoarders live in a very risky ambience. They might end up burning the whole place down, in case of fire.
