Sentimental son becomes a hoarder  

At least the boy remembers the story behind everything

This is that blend of adorable and creepy, where I honestly hope he finds a way to keep these reminders❤

The fact that not his mom, but Evan's older brother keeps locks of his hair 💀💀💀

I'm so afraid I'm gonna get to a point where I'm this bad. I am very sentimental and I have trouble getting rid of stuff lmao.

As a hoarder myself, I could honestly say that a situation like this would (and has) send me into a full blown panic attack. Years of therapy and we are just getting to the origins of it all, and how to prevent it. A few years ago I was able to get rid of 3 full trash bags of stuffed animals that made it impossible for me to sleep on my own bed. I do still have mini freak outs on not finding things and have had times where my mother gave me this kind of ultimatum. But through it all, I have gotten rid of 4 doom bins, and am slowly working through my room. Trust me y’all, it gets better! And don’t ever try to do it on your own, ask for help as much as you can, even over the little stuff. Don’t ever feel embarrassed for asking for help. I understand being sentimental, but it can reach a point where you have run out of room to make new memories. One of the best coping skills (for me personally) is taking pictures of the items, and keeping the images in a safe place. It helps you see the item and remember the memories attached to it without cluttering up your space. I hope y’all find your own way out of this, and have a great rest of your day!

Keep your sentimental treasures, I’m going to start scrapbooking the things that are important to me and place some objects in some light/shadow boxes. Because of homelessness in my youth I’ve lost so many things with sentimental value , organizing is important but memories are great too. Also take the time to write down or type out the important moments in your life, even if it seems mundane. These things will help your family and descendants remember you for a long time. I wish I had knew more about my grandmother before she passed but alas

I find that taking photos of memoria and organizing them into folders helps. You still get to keep the memory but you get rid of the stuff

After experiencing three floods, wiped out most of everything that my family owned, we learn to not be attached to stuff 😅

This was me until a friend I have a lot of respect for told me to stop hoarding trash. She came and helped me clean. And it really was a case of keeping trash. Like candy wrappers I felt were significant, pieces of junk I found on the ground and "felt bad for". Strings and bottle caps and toilet paper rolls I thought were going to be super useful one day and thought I'd regret throwing it away. And she didn't call me bad for keeping this nonsense, she just said that she likes that I'm sentimental but that I deserve better. I'm still a packrat but now I collect books, candles, and antique ornaments. And they are lovely to look at and bring me much joy.

The son is too cute😅

It’s so sweet though that he kept stuff that was sentimental to him because of his brothers.

Sounds like me....

I thought I was sentimental until I saw this

Move out for a year without taking any of that stuff with you, and suddenly it becomes a lot easier to figure out what you can and can't part with.

This is so me. I just can't seem so throw away stuff. It has precious memories.

As a kid that just finished this school year and that has an envelope full of notes and another envelope full of test and paper achievement certificates with infos of my friends that we did for a project.✨ Definitely a sentimental and easily attached person. (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) I relate to this to a whole another level. Who's with me guys? (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

I think its sweet he kept his brother's first hair cut. It shows how proud and how much he cares🥺🥺

That is the definition of hoarder behavior. He is mentally unwell

I love her 😍 voice. Could listen to her talk all day I have only ever had that thought when I heard corpsehusband speak 😅

At least he stored it nicely

She’s supportive, understands his son’s feelings and knows how to draw boundaries assertively W mother figure

I understand him so much😔

as a hoarder, this is so relatable and also kind of sad tbh i've started forcing myself to get rid of things i truly don't need once a year a few years ago and it's so hard and takes me multiple days to do but it's better than living in an apartment filled with actual trash that "holds sentimental value"

I understand.. i dont wanna forget them with no way of randomly remembering then and have a happy nostalgia trip.

He's just so cute ❤how can you yell at him

It's pretty sweet he kept the milestone memories of his brothers, he really loves them.

As someone with a hoarding disorder, I felt this. It’s so hard to get rid of even the littlest things, plus the backstory is always good to look back on when you have the object.

This is definitely me😭😂

I love his role and I understand how difficult to throw things that meaningful.

So…Emery is a confirmed kleptomaniac and has a hard core hoarder. The family therapist is gonna love this one.

Relatable. Man, everything has emotional value

HELP- THIS IS LITERALLY ME. NOT EVEN KIDDING. DOWN TO THE HAIR BIT. 😭

Like me, when I don't want to give my toys away. They are so precious to me ✨

Boy’s sentimental 🥲

i love his character SO MUCH

That kid is literally me

That’s the start of a hoarding disorder right there.

she is so fine

Honestly it's only a problem when having these things becomes more of a burden than not having them. I don't have space for tiny things like these. I never think about them on a daily basis. And because I want to keep them in a safe space, I just feel anxious. These days, I try my best not to buy or receive materialistic things.

Don't call me out like that😂

The kids adorable as well as creepy that he doesn't understand how weird he actually is

He was my fav character

...Hoarder👀 Bro is gonna need an intervention some day😂

That went from hoarder to possible future serial killer really quick

for everyone struggeling with hoarding. here are some tips: • sort your belongings into sections (1. Things I use on a day to day basis 2. things I haven't worn or used for half a year 3. things that are very sentimental to me but I don't use regularly 4. ... etc.) • struggling to let go of something but you don't use it? Put it in a bag and store it put a date on it and open it in half a year again. Did you miss the items you put in there? Did you open the bag in this half year? If not you can give it away. • take a photo of items you have an emotional connection to. that way the feeling won't be lost but you can give away the item because you still have a picture of it. • say thank you to the items you're throwing out. they've been with you through your best and worst and that way you let them go emotionally. • don't just throw everything in the bin. You can donate it or sell it if it's important to you. You can put out a box of stuff that's still good but nobody would buy infront of your house with a note "I'm looking for a new home" and it will be gone in a few days • ask for help! You don't have to do this alone. even an understanding friend might help. but of course reaching out to professionals like therapists and professional cleaners is also a good idea. • don't stress yourself about needing to get rid of everything. If you cherish an old rusty can like the boy in the video then do so proudly. Clean it, put it on a shelf where you can see it and tell the story proudly. You can do this!

my neorudivergent man it's too cute

I love how she don’t get mad and try to undestard him. Not only she tell’s him what is need to do, give him space but also when she sees that he had trouble with this she offered help ❤️ I always have struglle to clean my room since always and my mom helps me so much

Literally my mom 😭

Poor emery and his hoarder problem 😭

LITERALLY MEE 😂😢

Every mother has to go through this process with their sons

From my mom, an interior decorator who deals with casual hoarders a lot: take a box (or boxes) of all your crap, put them in the garage, and leave them there. If you need something from the box, go take it out, but ONLY that thing. If you can go one month, three months, six months without thinoung about whats in the boxes, you dont need it, get rid of it. Of coyrse, sentimental things are fine to keep, but dont overdo it.

I am very sentimental too. That's why I always tell my parents and friends that if EVER they thought of giving me anything on my birthday or whenever they feel like it, I'd prefer something that's consumable, like sunscreen, so I won't keep a thing forever when it doesn't serve me any purpose anymore.

This is how Hoarders start and never end

I relate to him. I am very sentimental with my stuff, to the point that when I was in 5th grade, I cried and thought my world was ending when I lost my eraser. I don’t know if I needed to go to therapy for that, but I have never gone to therapy for anything. Things are a bit better now, but I only get rid of certain things by pressure.

He's a keeper😂😂

Mahn this is me I cant throw away anything because I'm emotionally attached to each and every one of them and all of them represent some memory or the other for me.

Aww he’s so sweet not even adults care so much but it’s hard to where’s the line to b creepy

She is a stunner

My mother was like this: always wanting to pare down and clean up *everyone else's* mess. Meanwhile, her bedroom slowly became buried in piles of shoes (and their boxes), clothes, etc that eventually spilled out to where she'd make me clean out closet space *so she could hang her extra clothes in my closet* and store papers and boxes in my bedroom. She filled the finished basement with junk and possessions she never even unboxed, and then criticized the appearance of the small space I carved out among the boxes to put a chair and TV in so I could have some alone time. Her living room had tiny paths carved out of the old newspapers and magazines she scattered all over everything, so she could get to the one chair she could still sit in, the kitchen, her bedroom, and the front door. All the rest of the floor was unsafe to walk on. We had a two car garage, but I parked in the street because half of it was filled with junk (and she complained about me parking in the street "like a slob" but wouldn't let me park in the driveway). The people most concerned with running everyone else's life and business are often the ones who have let their own lives and business spiral out of their control, but are too afraid to face it.

This is unbelievably relatable

Shot straight to those EAS Scp AI voices

Mom : *you can't keep everything!!* Also mom : "collect a bunch of plastic food ware from restaurant and a bunch of plastic bags in the oven or kitchen cabinet"

I'm basically at this level lmao. I get frustrated when some things just goes missing when I know I saved them. I might need therapy haha.

i'm a 16 yr old w rlly bad issues with separation and this is sooo me

get him a journal where he can write his memories, its still sentimental if its in your heart

That kid has a problem 😬

I’m in love w Constance Wu❤

Cheap mum and hoarder son. Match made in heaven 😂

SHELDON HAS DONE SOMETHINFG SIMILAR

And this is how you become a horder

Idk what how the right way would be to deal with it if my child was like this

Absolutely amazing 🔥

Some things are collectable. And eventually they go up in value.

Hoarder moment

i was sentimental about things like a year ago by like keeping random ass things and it still gave me memories from every singe one of it. though i learned that you gotta drop things to carry new ones.

Me sideying my piles of books, transcripts and drafts

I used to ask my Mom the same question, albeit not as extreme as being shown here I used to keep useless stuffs as "memoirs". When I actually threw them away, or lost them because I had to move thousands of kilometres away from home in search of a better future, oddly enough it made me feel free and give me better understanding of what letting go feels like. As of now, I can say that letting go or losing something is an important part of growing up. We will leave and be left by something much more important someday. Might be your pet, your plant, you brother, your parents, or even your loved ones.

"Does this bring you joy?" "Yes, they all do"

Yeah, he still plays with Evans hair from Orlando

Bro is The Collector

Emery is sooo cute

this kid remembers everything he has and their stories but i can't even remember where i put my phone that I'm currently holding

The fact I'm realizing everything I keep because of "memories" is.... hoarding 😢

well she is prepared to disown him

He's gonna be a hoarder.

This is me, everything is a memory.

before everyone freaks out and calls this kid disgusting. I’m sure this isn’t the case in this scenario but in some cases hoarding is a symptom of ocd.

"1992...5 years ago" 💀

He could become a successful museum director! He knows the backgrounds of each thing.

This is so sad to think, such a person (even a fictional character) having to deal with. It's a life long struggle.

Talk about hoarding disorder😂😂

Kid has a problem. It's good he has a mother who has a patience of getting him through this.

When a boy loves his old stuff, he will be a great husband.

This kid has potential. I see a massive hoarder in the making.

I have ocd and have a super hard time letting things go especially if they have sentimental value. I relate to this

And that is how serial killers are born

This lady is a menace.

BRO THIS IS ME I legit thought I was the only one to be like this like every piece of ''trash'' has a memory attached to it and your not taking that away from me

I find it helps to take a picture of anything that’s sentimental before you throw it away. That way it doesn’t feel like your losing the memory.
