Collecting is relatively widespread and seen as normal behavior. About 30-40% of people report that they engage in some form of collecting, making it a familiar activity.
A key difference between collecting and hoarding lies in how people view and use their possessions. Collectors appreciate and often display their items for aesthetic enjoyment, while hoarders tend to believe their items will be useful but rarely use them.
Collectors typically organize their items in specific spaces within their homes and ensure the collection is contained and presented in a way that enhances its value. Hoarder clutter often leads to a lack of organization.
