Nope. I'm an avid thrower-awayer 
Seriously, I cannot stand clutter, almost to the point of being neurotic about it. Or maybe I've crossed that line, I don't know. I throw everything away if there's no immediate use for it. I've even thrown away shampoos and soaps because it would take a long time to get to the point where I'd use them (extras, not the ones in the shower) and I couldn't stand knowing they were there for a second longer.

I'm EXACTLY the same way! I used to be the worlds biggest pack-rat and collected all sorts of things (mainly coins). One day a few years ago, however, I just kind of flipped out at all the clutter and purged everything that I didn't need anymore. I've been anti-clutter ever since and will not hang on to anything that I don't need/want/use anymore.

I tend to borderline on obsessive when I collect things. I have to have all of something once I get started. Then I have to lose interest or get bored with something and move on to the next thing.
And it extends to everything I do. I find an author I like I have to read everything by that author. I find a band I like, I have to have everything they did.
Makes it difficult to walk out of stores sometimes. Hard on the wallet, too!

This is me.
Only consistently, over the years, each winter I begin with the Victorian Santa's and have enough to feel a little overwhelmed at Christmas

I collect Sega consoles and games. I've been focusing on the Megadrive and so far I have about 110 games for it.

Okay, okay. You got me. Clothing. It's freakin lame-sounding, but I have to have it. I hate shopping, I loathe trying it on, I hate a lot of materials and how things feel when I wear them. Thus, I have this desire to own a collection of things that are safe and feel good. eBay has wrecked that for me a bit. Whenever I need cash, I sell the clothing, thus my closet does not currently reflect my collecting habits. But yeah, there is the clothing. And I feel a bit out of whack when the collection dwindles too much. Right now I'm actually below practical levels of shirts.
Move on over, we will die of embarrassment together!
I have a neverending collection of...ya, you guessed it....SHOES!
WHY THE HELL???! ! I hate socks and even worse, shoes! They are stifling and a major sensory issue for me, but if I find comfort, I want lots of it!
