The Relationship Between Narcissism and Hoarding

Hoarders seem unable to recognize or empathize with the feelings of the other people in their family they simply just don't think it matters as much as how they feel. Even when facing the loss of their home pets marriage or even their children hoarders are unwilling to recognize that their behavior is destructive and hurtful to others or to themselves. The actual removal of the hoarded objects often provokes hoarders into full-blown rage this anger reaction presents itself very much like classic narcissistic rage. Animal hoarders claim that they are helping the animals they collect but no real effort is made to see to the well being at lead to make the hoarder feel better.
