Collecting is strictly for the anally retentive. Factamundo.

I collect nothing besides cds, and I don't know if that
counts because I don't give a fuck about their cd cases.

i had a dvd collection going for awhile but i gave up
because every time i bought a dvd a special edition came out
a few months later. i still stock up on them though, they
turn into $$ rather easily

Obsessive Compulsion Disorder is related to anxiety and
manifests itself in repetitive actions; like washing hands
or re-arranging an object.

Anal retention on the other hand is more deep rooted
psychologically. Not as extreme as OCD. You may not even
realise you are rententive. Symptons are not as obvious but
collecting, hoarding and avarice are certainly a few. It all
harks back on how you used to shit as a child.

i see. there is much i do not know. i just wondered if maybe
obsessively collecting was part of it but i guess not.

hygeine is affected by anal retentiveness yes? not
necessarily bodily hygeine but the state of cleanliness one
keeps their environment in? i'm wondering because my
roommate and i both collect things (a sign of anal
retentiveness, but he is messy and i like things neat (to a
certain extent). enlighten me, peloton! i look forward to
your reply :)

my sister collects (used to at least) keychains...are you a
long-lost family member?! jk

here is another thought, when i was young my mother
encouraged us to collect things! why would she encourage
anal retentiveness? unless she didn't know but why would she
encourage collecting?

I think collecting is cool... I always try to keep things
from the past from things I've been involved with... which
is a reason I hold on to ticket stubs... it's cool... years
later you can look at it and see the date, the time, etc,
etc...

yeah books... me too kinda... I mean I would never throw
away a book, so in that sense I collect them... but I don't
buy a whole lot... lots of times I just borrow them from
people...

Collecting is pretty boring. Reminissing however, is very
rewarding.

Cleanliness can certainly an indicator.

OCD is just anal retention gone a bit haywire. If you're
obsessed to the point where you can't leave your house
because you just need to wipe that surface one more time or
you keep re-aranging the curtains so they're just right,
then you have OCD. If, on the other hand, you like to keep
thing clean and don't like a mess and you are pretty
meticulous about it, then I'd say you are retentive. It's a
fine line. But a noticable difference.

If you don't give two fucks about the state of you or you're
house and you live a bit slobby then you could be classed as
the opposite of anally retentive which is anal expulsive.
Expulsive don't tend to collect though, more like give stuff
away.

All these traits though, OCD and anality, appear more in
people who would be classified as infantile.

As I said, it all stems from how you used to go to the
toilet as a child. If you had difficulty shitting and or was
embarrassed or was excesively watched by your parents while
taking a dump then that can be the root of rentention. If,
on the other hand, your parents were of the complete
opposite and didn't encourage or reward and or neglected
their responsibility in your toilet training then those
people may become anally exulsive.

Once you know the difference it's pretty easy to spot the
psychological traits in people.
