What are your weird attachments?

[Gopher Gary]

You wouldn't exist without it.

Sure I would. You just wouldn't know about it.

  I'm attached to my hair as a stim tool.  I twirl it, I twist it, I get it all knotted up.

  Lately I am de-hoarding my apartment and everything must go!  But I do love to store images on my computer
  and in my phone.  I am a digital hoarder now.  And of course I am attached to I², and to my post count!   

Is this a cyclic thing?

  Yes it is!  With every new cycle, the category of throw-away-able things gets broader!

You are stashing up on space nowadays. And you will get your whole apartment filled with it.

  And the less stuff I have, the more mobile I will become!

YES!!

Once I knew a guy who lived by the rule that all belongings of importance had to fit in his rucksack. He traveled a lot.

I keep reading this title and thinking it refers to something like detachable/extra parts.  As in, my vaccuum cleaner has an attachment to get at the edges of things, and one to clean upholstery.  I don't have any attachments like that, myself, though.

I used to be attached to stuff as a kid, but my moving-out process was quite abrupt, and I didn't bring a single thing with me.
Weening off was therefore quite instant, and since then I don't get attached to objects. They are all interchangeable.

I do harbor some slight attachment to whatever cellphone I tend to have at any given time, in the sense that I'm always a bit reluctant to change it for a newer one.

  I'm getting to be that way myself ... detached emotionally from a lot of my stuff.
   I dream of relocating and starting a new career, so I am preparing for any opportunities
   by de-hoarding!  The less stuff I own, the easier it'll be to relocate when the time is right.

  I'm very attached to the first few songs I remember hearing as a preschooler.
  This one is special to me.  It was recorded when I was two; I assume I was three
  when I became aware of it.  Love the bass part at about two minutes in.

  When I listen to the songs I remember from the late 60s/early 70s,
  my parents are still alive and vigorous, my father is in the kitchen baking bread.

When the movers robbed our house I lost many things to which I was attached; most of them were not quite weird, but they were my friends. Some were stolen and because searching for things to steal made them run late, they rushed to pack and many other things were broken, like my collection of lamps salvaged from other people's trash. They broke three of those, and also broke two of my collection of reachers - those things that grab things off shelves. One was a folding model and they broke it at the brace. M favorite shoes vanished as well as the elaborate electrical system I set up to compensate for the lack of outlets in the house. They stole one of my collection of briefcases - to transport things, I guess.

For some reason they were not interested in my collection of dried fruit - whole lemons and oranges that got dehydrated in my house in MA. Though they took my body glove t-shirts they were not interested in my vast collection of socks, nor were they interested in my collection of ice cube trays.

Actually I have a lot more collections, but since I am dehoarding I am trying to forget them. If you remember me from long ago, that was when the skin flake and scab collection went. Never knew they were weird until autistic people said so....

  I'm so sorry.  Were you able to take any legal action?


  All I can say is, I hope karma knocks them to their knees!

The insurance company gave us a little money. Py rushed to put the claim in so we only got $600 because we didn't discover some things until later.

I used the money for things we needed here, and kept repeating my mantra (less to manage, less to manage) until it hurt less.

We made a police report, but nothing came of it.
