Am I a hoarder?

I identified with this description so I copied a bit of it from this article

"Paradoxically, they also tend to be perfectionists, so they’ll put off making decisions rather than risk being wrong. And when it comes to their own stuff, they don’t categorize by type. Rather than see an object as a member of a large group (say, one of 42 black T-shirts), they see it as singular, unique, special. Each black T-shirt is perceived apart from the others and carries its own history, significance, and worth. It’s not even categorized for storage (folded with other black T-shirts in a T-shirt drawer), but rather placed on a pile and retrieved spatially (that particular black T-shirt lives about four inches from the bottom of the corner stack). 

"This leads to a deep aversion to someone touching the piles or sifting through them, unwittingly destroying the invisible ordering system."

Later - I heard something about that were all hoarders it's just two different degrees. I like this new swedish death cleansing more than Marie kondos method. it becomes a lifetime process and you start with the most hidden things that you've hardly ever used. https://www.realhomesgcom/news/swedish-death-cleaning-is-good-for-mental-health-and-well-being-heres-why-you-should-tackle-it-this-weekend
