Do you get attached to things?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you find it hard to let things go? Do you easily get attached to people or objects? I easily get attached to my items. I have a whole collection of toys from my childhood and I have a hard time parting with it. I recently sold a toy school bus that I had on eBay. I have a replica of the toy I sold but I have been having regrets because I sold the original one I had. The reason I sold it is because the stickers on the bus were worn and wrinkled and I wanted to keep the one that had nicer stickers. I have sold and given away a whole bunch of things over the years, but there are some items that I have regrets about selling/giving away. The reason I get attached to my possessions is because a lot of them hold certain memories. I got the items during a happy time in my life and I feel like those items keep those happy memories alive. I have a whole bunch of clothes in my closet that I never wear. The reason I keep a lot of my clothes is because I got them on a trip or I got them during a good time in my life. I easily get attached to things and I get a lot of anxiety when I have to part with something. This is why I hate change because I don't like to give up the things that made me happy. When you take away something that I am attached to, I will go in full panic mode and won't know how to cope. I also hate it when things get lost.

I don't get attached to things, I don't really feel sentimental value. I do get very attached to girlfriends thou.

I get attached to a lot of things. I'm very sentimental that way. I'm attached to my German helmets and I'm also attached to my die-cast Corgi Routemasters. To sell any of those two things on E-Bay would be a huge mistake for me to make.

I might be somewhat attached to things I have at the time, but when they are removed or replaced I forget about them.

I still mourn the loss of things I lost decades ago

I had an attachment to a stuffed toy Siamese cat I had when I was a little girl. I always had a special thing for cats, especially Siamese.
