Deep dives
The Impact of Childhood on Clutter
Childhood experiences significantly shape adult relationships with possessions and clutter. Individuals often mirror the disorganization or control seen in their upbringing, either emulating chaotic environments or swinging to extreme minimalism. A personal account highlights how an abusive and cluttered childhood led to a coping mechanism of extreme decluttering in adulthood, where the individual disposed of cherished memories and possessions to achieve perceived control. This reflects a common theme among adults with ADHD, who may experience shame associated with clutter and feel compelled to maintain perfection in their living spaces.
