Dude I clearly don't know what you are saying. So you can collect but if you get dopamine from it, it is now unhealthy?

If you don't care then why say that about dopamine? Like you make it sound like the moment you become happy with collecting, it is now unhealthy. Like I agree that if someone ONLY gets happy from buying then yeah, gotta step back and look at that, but you are seeming to make a blanket statement. The moment I am happy from collecting, now it is unhealthy.

Like I said, cool that you don't collect. I actually collect electrical junk so I can reuse them for other purposes. Do I have a closet full? No I got like 2 shelves of it, so is this unhealthy? Because I get a dopamine hit from finding junk and thinking of all the parts I can use it for OR thinking of why it is broken? You know what I got for Christmas? A soldering mat so I didn't accidentally melt my table as easily.

Like seriously WHAT are you trying to say since clearly I am not getting it. Like collecting is bad because you get dopamine hits? Like collecting is a drug? Dude I earn my money and can use it how I like. If you don't care about what OP collects then why make the statement? I feel like you are trying to be holier than thou but you arent. I am really happy that you dont really collect, I really am. But just let people be happy in their own way. As long as they arent causing harm (physically, financially, mentally, etc) then what problem ARE they having?

Are they going financially broke? Idk but if they arent who cares? What is the difference between collecting cards, coins, stamps, videogames, watches, cars, boats, collages, jewelry, keyboards, art, buttons, merchandise, toys, bottles, antiques, furnitures, weapons, armour, perfumes, rugs, or etc?

Like seriously how is collecting ANYTHING bad? Is the person consumed by buying them? Again not sure but they mentioned they spend about £30 per in another comment so they arent breaking the bank with this. I have seen people spend $200 on a cardboard card and you know what? Good for them. If they were breaking bank I would be worried, if collecting cards was their only passion in life, sure be worried.

Dopamine comes in many forms and as long as you are not trying to find it like a druggie, who the fuck cares? Yall make this person seem like they are some crazy person because instead of collecting "normal" things, they collect something different.

You telling me you don't collect anything? Cause honestly good for you! I am glad you could find happiness in other means but some people find SOME dopamine in collecting.

Dude I have seen people spend thousands on cards that never get touched. Electronics that gather dust in closets among other things. In fact shoe closets are a great example too. Buy vehicles that sit in garages 364 days a year.

If they are happy with spending THEIR money on something they enjoy then who cares? You arent the one looking at this everyday, they are and I betcha they smile at it.

OP keep being you, I honestly think this is dope and love you storage dedication to it. You have given me ideas for my own storage ideas.
