Have you ever met anyone who is the polar opposite of a hoarder? Like someone who cannot tolerate owning stuff and frequently throws out or sells stuff they need which they later need to buy again. (self.casualconversation)

the need to purge belongings is a form of clutching for control over your life, usually with the idea that one is starting anew in some way, and can be a symptom of borderline personality disorder in my experience
