It Starts Small and Signs Can Be Missed

Many people like to have collections of things, from small spoons of locations they have traveled to having photo books of special events. However, things can get out of hand when people collect things but aren't doing 'collecting' type of activities. Those who collect usually organize their collection, and often show it off in one way or another. Hoarders collect things but they are disorganized and over time can become ashamed of the condition that they live in.

There is such a thing as 'clutter blindness' when someone cannot recognize when their home is looking unkempt and dangerous. If the hoarder has a garage or shed, many times those locations get filled up and whatever useful item was there is now buried and inaccessible. Hoarders will also find ways to keep people from coming into their home, such as avoid visitors or canceling plans.

Hoarding Makes It Difficult to Part with Things

Even small things like receipts from the grocery store become like gold to hoarders, and the thought of getting rid of it causes them anxiety. It happens often where someone passes away and those around them didn't realize that they were a hoarder, and now the space needs to be emptied and properly cleaned and sanitized.
