I am someone that remembers stuff very well and I have PTSD. But there's therapy where you can learn to (figuratively) put everything in folders, stuff it in the cabinet and only take the folders out if you need to :P And apart from negative memories, it's actually quite helpfull. I've confronted people before, that denied several important details. I went up to the bookshelve, got out the photobook and without any effort, found the right picture with the evidence on it. 'Look, it wás that black sweater. The one you said didn't exist" Same with e-mails with information or I recall specific words that people used in a conversation. I once wrote out a full conversation at home after a a collegue at work threathened me. This person got angry and said I'd taped him. 'Nobody can remember thís well, you recorded my story, didn't you?' I could honestly say I didn't and he got a warning for his behaviour.

With all due respect, but him hoarding all the dolls on piles of dust and filth...he obviously has issues too. He has been a photographer for years and now feels the urge to turn pretty 'models/barbies' into robots. That's just a piece of cake diagnose. A real professional artist would probably prefer to keep them organized in boxes, so that he has room to work and he could live youknow...with a working sink.

Dear Joe and msMeg. I am not the one to decide what a professional artist does. I'm just stating that he's living in poor conditions. I am an artist myself and slightly a hoarder. I ám using plastic boxes to organize my stuff now, simply because without that, I'd go nuts. Creative minds can get stuck in the items, this man could'nt even reach for the phone. Don't you dare suggesting that that's a normal home. It is not. My home is a regular home with a boxes with items against the walls. And I knów that that's a problem, so I'm working on it.

Sure they are. But that doesn't mean it's healthy. Just like the girl that drank nailpolish. That was interesting too, her character behind the nailpolish. And sure, there was a "good" reason for it, eventually it came from troubles in the past. Which is still no reason to claim that it's real artistic or real cool of her to drink nailpolish. Now this example might be a bit extreme, but not being able to walk to the phone, not using a mouthcover while working with tiny splinters of plastic hair flying around, not dusting or cleaning, not having a working home, is downright unhealthy as well. And no matter how 'artistic' it may seem, praising his uncleanliness and saying that plenty of artist seem to work in chaotic dirty homes, is just not right.

If he didn't want to be judged on it, he should've have been on international t.v. showing off his hoarders-house. I see that it's wrong, I state that it's wrong. What he does with the feedback is his business.

To help make my point a bit clearer, I researched it. Inhaling the hairs causes internal blockage, bronchitis, scars and infections in your lungs. They don't go away, they go deeper in the lungs and stay there. So the infections and scarring will continue. (That's just the hairs bytheway, not the rest of his house)

Personally I think you are scary. Youre not comparing his way of life to something very unhealthy. Which is very clearly is. It's like we're watching a man commit very slow suicide. Inhaling those sharp, tiny plastic hairs everyday will kill your lungs in about, I don't know...half a year? Also, did I not mention the comparison was extreme? How on earth did you not get that? It was right after the part about the nailpolish. And tbh, she could 'digest' the nailpolish somehow, but lungs can't digest dust, plastic hairs and other sorts of materials.

So, msmeg, what you're saying is that if someone wants to do something that hurts their body, gives them terrible illnesses with possible fatal results, we have to respect that? So if my niece decides she wants to drink nailpolish too, because it makes her feel good..or my brother likes to suffocate himself because it makes him feel high and happy. We should just condone that, because it makes him feel good? Where this guy could EASILY get a mask from the dollarstore, maybe even 12 in a pack, we should just stand there and watch him? "Because we can't tell others how they can and can't live?" Fine, I'll 'leave him alone" as you asked for. I won't bother spreading advice on this video anymore. Promise. The conversation is done. But msmeg, let me make one thing clear. If I were to take yóur advice and leave everyone alone who's life I don't approve of....my neighbour would be dead within the week. And my best friend would be too. They appreciate my urgent advice on their lifestyles and they acknowlegde that what they're doing to make themselves feel better is absolute rubbish and it should change. You can't change what you don't acknowlegde. Have a nice day.

Thanks for leaving it up to me. I never called myself the savior to everyone, I simply try to help the troubled people that I notice (and others don't seem to notice.) I think nailpolish does less damage than lungcancer though. Oh and may I say, you sound lovely as well. I hope the people around you will stay alive for as long as possible to be friends with you. Enoying your 'fierce' as you call it, spirit. The same quality you called 'obnoxious when you appointed it to me. Hm... Have a nice day and let's end the conversation right here. I don't think we're going to get any further with this.

@randil3208 I am neurodivergent and being (a least somewhat) organised and clean is something that people need help with then. I am part of a autism-creative group, in which everyone is 'somewhat organised' and clean. Two men aren't at all, one of them spreads a strong smell of urine and the other is very, véry unsafe with electronic devices and regularly experiments with our outlets (thereby electrocuting himself and wrecking our systems.) Those two need a bit of extra help, which they are getting. Because to a certain point, you're not "being yourself" but you are suffering from it and so are the (strong-smell-sensed) people next to you. The rest álso gets help, but with staying on top of things, making sure any hoarding of materials is not getting out of hand, venting against stress and working against isolation.

When I was about 7, I started watching American cartoons on Cartoon Network, instead of the calm, Dutch VHS-tapes my parents had recorded for me. It made me more hyperactive and violent, they noticed. I'd start hitting my sister over the head with books, because they did it in the cartoons too. My mom allowed me to watch them though, until she sat down one day and asked me what I was drawing. And I said; 'A person with a funny hat on.' She asked me; 'Darling, do you know what that hat does?' and I said; 'Yes...I think. Cow&Chicken have it..and "I am Weasle" and other ones too. It's a funny hat.." "What does it do?", my mom asked and I answered; 'Well..when they fight, they put it on the other person..and then at first, they get scared and start shaking and then they pull a funny face and they get a wobbly and relaxed. They let their tongue hang out of their mouth and then they usually get up and chase the other person again...like they did before." My mom said; 'Honey, I don't want you to draw that anymore, it's an electric chair. Electric chairs are used in America.." I said; Like Amsterdam? (Because at that age, I would mix those two up all the time) Like when we saw the electric chairs in the shop?" She said; 'No, not massage-chairs, these will electrocute the person. Not just a bit, but people will die this way. They have the death-punishment..they kill their criminals sometimes.." I panicked and asked if America was closeby. She said; 'No, it's a different country, across the sea.' I got scared and said; 'Do they have boats? Can the police in America get to the Netherlands? Can they murder us too?' My mom tried to explain how delusional police and government in America thought that killing criminals was easier than rehabilitating them, but she kept saying; 'Dear, it's really difficult to explain. I don't agree with it either. We don't have the death-punishment here...it won't happen to any of us, alright?' And I just sat there crying; 'But what if we accidentally take the wrong turn and end up in America and then we get murdered by the state. How can they kill people, how is that possible? Why do they think killing a killer is a normal thing to do?' It bothered me for weeks and I would cry each time I saw an electric chair in the cartoons. And I had horrible nightmares about being put onto the electric chair and watching people die. Now I'm nearly 30, a licensed Pedagogic Worker (I work with kids) and I can't imagine the constant fear and fright of being a child and living in a country that still practices this and where, rationally speaking, the chance is there that you might end up in prison or get the deathpenalty. I would be terrified of the police and anything with it, I would avoid any (positive too) contact with them and I can imagine that if I felt that I was cornered, I'd try and take as many of them with me as I could. Intimidation and fear, that is not how you controll a country ffs.

To anyone laughing their bum off: search for "Orvillecopter - AirCat" It's with the theme from Airwolf. I'm telling you, it's even better.

@briangriffith4574 Did you not read the first five words? In which I stated I was 7? Jeesh. Also, every one in a hundred people in America is incarcerated. The threat of deathrow is 'always there' and that's a horrible thing to have hanging above your head.

Also, I do think there's a difference between people hunting animals or people crafting things out of dead animals. Mockery-taxidermy has never seemed 'good/nice' to me. Mice in dresses, ballerina-dancing seems a bit morbid. Then again, if they died naturally...it might feel different. Usually the white mice are killed for the purpose of it. That is cruel to me. And that, I don't support.
