@QasimRashid@mastodon.social thanks for explaining a basic financial fact that eludes 99.9999% of people familiar with the name #ElonMusk, who yet don't understand how #billionaires are made.There's a great #realitytv #investigativejournalism piece from #Channel4 in the UK that explains the logic of equity/borrowing really well.

If the only thing you know about people with #HoardingDisorder is something from #RealityTV, I strongly encourage you to learn the actual reality. I'm no expert on the #diagnostic side but my understanding of the condition and it's history in the relevant #medical #literature is that hoarding was once considered a manifestation(?) of #OCD, but over the years experts noted a key distinguishing factor for hoarding vs OCD in particular: When people with OCD are engaging in a repetitive behaviour (eg: excessive handwashing) they feel terrible about it. They want desperately to stop *in the moment* but cannot do so. People with hoarding disorder, OTOH, feel good, perhaps even fabulous, in the moment(s) of acquiring new things. The bad feeling only comes after and/or when trying to de-accumulate. And a full-abstinence, AA-type approach cannot work, as people NEED to aquire things to survive: groceries don't buy themselves, after all! 😐 14/x #differentiation #difference #characteristic
