I've met a lot of people in my life who are addicting to collecting things, with those things changing over time but also representing a serious pattern? So, how does collecting feel to you (if you do collect things)?
I actually have to physically stop myself because if I'm given the opportunity I will collect absolutely everything and obsess over having every single thing in the collection.
I used to collect Pok?mon cards & Yugioh cards just a few years ago until they "evolved" and became much more complicated to me. I only thought the images were cool but since I got into the Pok?mon games, I failed to see their value. I'm not collecting things anymore and I like to think it's because I've gotten older. Collecting things have given my childhood a lot of enjoyable memories, though.
I'm not big on collecting stuff. Usually the conversation that happens inside of my head goes along the lines of this:
"Wow, wouldn't it be cool if I [had a complete set of/ had a bunch of] these things?"
"Yeah sure but that would cost a lot of money."
Yep. I collect things to satisfy my OCD tendencies... I feel like I have to. I am always collecting something and it gives me some form of temporary happiness/satisfaction. If I cannot grow whatever collection I have currently, I feel a sense of loss or depression. Don't get me wrong, I get a lot of joy out of it, but it feels like it's just filling a void in me.
