I heard the key to stopping hoarding is to hold an object in your hands and ask "does this spark joy?" and only if you FEEL the joy coming from it do you get to keep it.
But this describes literally none of the objects I own, including things that are essential to my survival. It's possible I haven't felt joy in years. I assume the intent of that advice wasn't to make people become homeless, naked and starving.
That means the "does this spark joy?" method is bullshit, right? It's not just me who's crazy? Because if other people actually feel joy from holding mundane things like a spoon or a sock, that seems crazy to me.
If you don't appreciate the value of food/clothing/shelter then maybe you should try giving them up, for a small amount of time. I guarantee holding a loaf of bread in your hands after not eating for a day will make you joyous
