I wonder if you couldn’t help other hoarders this way? Organize all of their items in a location not where they dwell and then they can visit their new place of organized storage whenever and it can have a system where you just have someone go in and remove a few items of each kind not enough to notice but enough to where the place never gets full. Do that for 20-60 years and you have a sure fire way to help a hoarder have a better life.
The difference though is WHY he is accumulating and WHY he can't let any of it go. He even says he has severe physical and mental reactions to even thinking about letting anything go. That's not a collector.
As someone who has repeatedly lost nearly all of my possessions several times in my life, I tend not to get attached to items very often. But when I do, man is it hard to let go.
I have a ton of VHS tapes. I also have a player that can also copy the video to DVD. Eventually, all the DVDs will be backed up on hard drives. I have over 100TB. The oddest item I have kept, out of the many thousands that my mother threw away or got lost over the years, is a single page from a Weekly Reader from 1961 when I was in 2nd grade. It had state by state numbers from the 1960 census. I have been collecting information ever since. I have a huge library of books and phonograph records. Most are on shelves built in for the purpose, so they are organized. Most of my random objects are kept in a couple of banker boxes, such as my first yo-yo, a trinket I got for winning a contest in 1st grade, and my great-grandfather's glasses. They don't take up nearly the space as Sheldon's random objects. I do have a collection of comic books and boxes of baseball cards. I'm old now, so I may start getting rid of things.
I have an old piggy bank that belonged to my grandmother and I never departed from it. The same goes with a video I have of her from her birthday I can't delete that because it's all I have left of her. I even have a few pictures I can't throw away because all these items I possess that have her in it, all have emotional attachment to me.
There is nothing wrong with keeping stuff like that. All I'd suggest would be to digitize the photos and have extra copies of the video. Maybe get a digital picture frame that displays them in a slideshow.
They hadn't been invented when I was a child. We had no way to record anything, except audio on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. I have some family tapes from the 1960s, and I still have a recorder, a restored Pioneer from the 80s.
I have a card that was sent to my grandfather in the 1960s. I liked the address on the envelope. It had his name and the name of the tiny community he lived in, no other info, not even the state. They didn't have ZIP codes at the time. The post office still got it to him. Today's post office would fail on that assignment.

One could argue the things like the model trains or comic books in the background are collections, keeping pine cones because they remind him of childhood shows nostalgia, keeping every toothbrush you've ever had is problematic. So I'd say there is a good range between collecting and hording in that room.
At the end of the scene he throws away the golf ball but it comes rolling back in. I have seen each episode at least three times. It was my daily routine at seven and seven thirty.
Yes and no, in the literal sense yes, however in the diagnostical sense, this is the first time I have ever seen one so utterly organized and structured. I mean, if he labels everything it is an archive, or almost a museum of personal history.😉🤭
I was going to say wow since you were 10. Must have been a long time ago but then i realized no idea how old you are. But wasn’t “Revenge of the Fallen” just like a few years ago?
I don't like this show but sometimes it can get a laugh out of me...not this time. every time the laugh track played nothing was funny. anyone else feel like that too?
I can relate some what, I have photos, slides, and 8mm films from my parents and I don't know any of the the people or places on them and truly don't have the heart to throw them away, since my parents are gone!!!😢
"I've saved a lot of weird things too."
"Like what?"
I was so expecting her to say; "You." 😆
HAHAHA
Technically he’s hoarding but it’s all so well organized & doesn’t affect his every day life. He’s basically a functioning hoarder.
Playing fast and loose with the word "functioning" here 😅
@@kutukan2219😂
Hes a functioning something

its called a collector when organized
Considering how organized the unit is, I would consider him a collector, not a hoarder.

I respect Sheldon for keeping the VHS tapes i watch old VHS intros and trailers of Disney movies on RUclips
Shane he’s not real haha
So do I
Still got VHS tapes of “Monster Inc.,””Power Rangers,” and my parents.

You missed an opportunity to name it "Amy sees Sheldon's junk" lol
This is the Facebook comment of the day
Lol
"You're about to have your world rocked in a storage facility."
I feel like Sheldon would have more than one bag of toothbrush
A 10x20ft unit is about $300 per month in Southern California.
Not nearly that where I live in NC.
Am I the only one who’s wondering why the hockey puck isn’t part of the sports equipment collection next to the golf ball? 😂
They probably took back the hockey puck after doing that, those things cost a bit more than a golf ball

That’s a couple things. Saving 100 old toothbrushes is a problem.

Daaaaaaaammmmmn!!!!!! Sheldon you got lots of stuff in here!😂😅😂😅😂😅🤣😆🤣😆
That's actually not a lot for someone Sheldon's age.
I can’t be the only one who thought something different when I read the title 💀
You're not alone.
I did do a double-take
🤣 🤣 🤣
I was looking for this comment 😂😂
It's sheldon, so unless the word mentions alcohol... no 😊😊
Sheldon: that’s enough of me talking about myself.
.
.
.
You talk about me for a while.
VHS tapes
That was my childhood
It was mine's too.
Me too ❤@@cdawg9895
Same. I loved my Disney Sing-A-Long tapes.
V... H... S.... 😂
They hadn't been invented when I was a child. We had no way to record anything, except audio on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. I have some family tapes from the 1960s, and I still have a recorder, a restored Pioneer from the 80s.
I need a storage unit.
"Sheldon's junk" is wild
Don't worry according to the relationship agreement Amy will only visit Sheldon's junk once a year 😂
Sheldon Cooper and Monica Geller would make a great couple.
Sheldon and Ross having a debate about dinosaurs while Chandler makes sarcastic comments would be legendary to see
It’s not a contest 😂😂
Poor Shelly can’t let go off his past
I've collected every card that has been given to me by my Grandmother, from every holiday and birthday.
I have a card that was sent to my grandfather in the 1960s. I liked the address on the envelope. It had his name and the name of the tiny community he lived in, no other info, not even the state. They didn't have ZIP codes at the time. The post office still got it to him. Today's post office would fail on that assignment.
I do similar thing, but I didn't keep everything
I really like that they didn‘t play a laugh track over him saying he thinks less of himself when looking at the collection.
0:42 I recognize the black and white toy on the upper left shelf, it's Robo Sapien. My boys had one of those.
What baffles me is how big the storage unit is. Would that be a 10x10 or bigger? How much would a unit like that cost a month?
Looks like at least 10x20 and probably an interior climate controlled unit, which in Pasadena would cost around $600/month.
At least he's a neat and organized hoarder....
Did I see an old HP computer that’s made for Windows 98 seem quite a few of those in my day those are nostalgic
Windows Millennium 😅 and it worked well but configuration took _days_
@@jeremywilliams5107 you’re just lucky enough if windows millennium, didn’t blue screen but many people take windows millennium for granted it introduced features we still used to this day like system restore
Mine would be a 486 with dos, a vic 20 and a c64.
I can only wonder how much his "hoard" is actually worth.
The comic books alone could be worth a fortune.
Well title is little misleading
Sheldon’s not a hoarder, he’s just sentimental.
He's a scientist, not a hippie.
He has the Kosmos Chem 3000 chemistry set.
Marie Kondo would be so proud of him
A more human side of him, in a way.

What childhood shows?
Well it is wasteful to store all of this stuff but he is so organized about it, I am impressed.
At the end of the scene he throws away the golf ball but it comes rolling back in. I have seen each episode at least three times. It was my daily routine at seven and seven thirty.
Back in 2022 I saw, in Cleveland, a five door car so full of papers, only place for the driver, nothing else.
"... but you are winning."
I also weirdly can't throw away my stuff i have like old toothbrush and old notes books
I feels wrong to do
Up until the toothbrushes...
Sheldon is a hoarder then?
Yes and no, in the literal sense yes, however in the diagnostical sense, this is the first time I have ever seen one so utterly organized and structured. I mean, if he labels everything it is an archive, or almost a museum of personal history.😉🤭
Hoarder when its a mess a collector is when its organized and not filling the entire home so you can move around
He has some amazing stuff in there
The comics , the Batman mobile,the Star Trek items
He's make a fortune on eBay.
I wish I had a girlfriend like Amy
I use those tooth brushes to scrub toilets and sinks
How does Sheldon transport items to his storage space in secret if he doesn't drive?
Sheldon is living in the past and can't let anything go. Amy should be suggesting counselling.
Fills in a lot of blanks about sheldon.
Part of his ocd
This is why he needs help, but he considers himself too superior to get some. Also, he was written that way.
So where did he put the Time Machine?
What happened to the no nostalgia clause
It’s not nostalgia if it ends with dinosaurs
Who picked that ****** clickbait title?😂😂😂
Considering Sheldon is a germaphobe, it is suprising he has a teddy bear to wipe his nose on (continuously for years)
Who's the Japanese guy with them on the table?
Hey 👋
😂
The title is a lie. I watched the whole thing and he didn’t even pull down his freakin pants. 👎
I’ve kept my Optimus prime toy I had since I was 10. Still on my shelf to this day. It’s the one from revenge of the fallen.
I was going to say wow since you were 10. Must have been a long time ago but then i realized no idea how old you are. But wasn’t “Revenge of the Fallen” just like a few years ago?
@@Flinsanityforever about 15 years yeah
