If the only thing you know about people with #HoardingDisorder is something from #RealityTV, I strongly encourage you to learn the actual reality.
I'm no expert on the #diagnostic side but my understanding of the condition and it's history in the relevant #medical #literature is that hoarding was once considered a manifestation(?) of #OCD, but over the years experts noted a key distinguishing factor for hoarding vs OCD in particular:
When people with OCD are engaging in a repetitive behaviour (eg: excessive handwashing) they feel terrible about it. They want desperately to stop *in the moment* but cannot do so.
People with hoarding disorder, OTOH, feel good, perhaps even fabulous, in the moment(s) of acquiring new things. The bad feeling only comes after and/or when trying to de-accumulate.
And a full-abstinence, AA-type approach cannot work, as people NEED to aquire things to survive: groceries don't buy themselves, after all! 😐

The #maths or #math theory of a normal (Gaussian) distribution, a "bell-shape curve", is applicable or applies to a large variety of subjects in my view.
Mainly, I understand that #life mostly resets to normality to keep balance and #society is centred around it.
Also if you want, have a read of my #physics #science analysis of the "time flies by when having fun" phrase - https://universeodon.com/@edwardj_mastodon/114201758144366760 - I explained that a concentration of people in focus on an activity or event makes a bubble, likely to be a distortion from the events around in society and this concentration of mental activity causes the #universe to give it tiredness, to end the divergence from society and tend the mood value back to normal.

I was watching a music video and have a #ThoughtForToday #thought - groups of 3-4 singers often appear (from my understanding) to have one more extroverted leader with others who typically play some musical instruments and/or are introverted.

I think that an introvert will be more focused on internal feelings than on social interactions... shy, less energetic, more comfortable to say less, enjoys listening to the conversation before joining it).
I am much more of an introvert around any people I communicate with - but I don't really like being around people these days because of the self-confidence I have lost through living in health care services (I have distrusting anxiety and prefer self-reliant independence).
Maybe that's why I noticed in the video. #empathy
I am also very analytical.
