Your Type
You can't bear to throw anything away, building a sense of security with nostalgic clutter. This hoarding behavior of "attaching emotions to items and refusing to let go" is actually a defense mechanism you take to combat "separation anxiety and the passage of time"; you fear that if you throw these things away, it's equivalent to forgetting your past self or cutting ties with others, so you use material objects to fill your inner fear of loss. But the weight of memories doesn't need to be carried by physical objects. Try picking one nostalgic but unused item every month, taking a photo of it, and gently saying goodbye; when you learn to let your space flow, you can make room for new encounters.
