Yarn Hoarding
The way yarn hoarding is not only accepted in fiber arts communities, but encouraged, is really fucked up. Hoarding is compulsive behavior, and yarn hoarding is not different. I'm a yarn hoarder in quadruple digits, it's related to my anxiety/fears of resource scarcity, and it's miserable. I wish people would stop encouraging each other to buy more and more yarn when they already have a lot so they don't end up feeling trapped like every other hoarder. At least a stickied mod post acknowledging that yarn hoarding is just hoarding would go a long way for some. Anyway, thanks for listening to me vent.
Edit: I'm not seeking advice regarding my therapy or hoarding. I shared where my hoarding comes from purely so people could understand why I have this perspective, not so someone could try to use my mental health against me in a cheap 'gotcha' comment. It's okay to disagree with me or be snarky, but keep it respectful.
