do it with pretty much everything?!? Sure, most people have a hobby or two, or collect something of value to them... but what about when they just collect everything? I collect Blythe dolls, Lip Smackers, promotional flyers, Melissa shoes, certain brands of clothing and accessories such as Route66 and Tokidoki, vinyl toys, paisley bandannas, Hello Kitty items, video game consoles, musical instruments, 1" badges, wallets, recipes from magazines, old concert tickets, glitter nail polish, eye glasses, cameras - both film and digital, beanies and berets, vinyl records, design magazines, books on things I like, Copic markers, jackets, knitting yarn, crochet hooks, and scarves. That's just from looking around my room. When I was younger I collected Beanie Kids and Chuck Taylor All Stars. I had 9 pairs of the same style of shoe... I was speaking with a friend today and she said that she has heard of "collecting personality", but the only thing I can find is stuff on hoarding. I don't think I have that problem because I am able to sell things and don't have any fears about doing so, however, I do have Trichotillomania and some other Body-Focus Repetitive Disorders which can be associated with OCD... thoughts?
