Hoarder's mentality
A hoarder is a person who collects and keeps a large amount of things and has difficulty throwing anything away, even things that most people would consider useless.
This often leads to cluttered, crowded, or messy living spaces.
👉 The behavior can be mild (just keeping too many things) or severe (linked to hoarding disorder, a psychological condition).

- Her garage is full of old boxes because she’s a hoarder.
