Does anyone else not feel attached to materialistic things? I've thrown away so many memories that I can't even name them all. I've thrown away photos, stuffed animals, toys, yearbooks, clothes, really anything that reminds me of my past. I'm not sure why, I'm just not attached to these things. I just end up throwing them away with the trash I find around the place. Its not that I don't like my past, its just that this memorabilia doesn't hold any value to me. Since I throw all my stuff away, my family thinks I hate them or that I'm cold and detached, I don't mean to be, its just how I am. Is anyone else like this?

Well... I don't know as I'm exactly the way you describe. But I'm not a saver. Anything I don't seem to have a use for, I get rid of. Unlike you, I dislike my past. So quite a few years ago, I shredded every picture I had of myself & my extended family. Once I'm gone, they'd all end up in the trash anyway. If there are any pictures of me anywhere in the world, it's only because I don't have access to them. So I guess you might say I am cold & detached. There are things from the past I have kept. But it's not because there's sentimental value attached to them. It's just because I like them for what they are.

I find that the energy of contact leaves residual traces of itself imbued within the objects of any particular interaction. Depending upon the intensity, charge, and duration of that interaction, determines the amount of trace energy and the contextual charge ( positive/negative) that is impressed upon said object of interaction. I find that I hold onto things that are of a positive charge and discard things that are of a negative one. The interaction that I have with those things periodically to this day reinforces the positive charge between us. The fact that you throw them away means that you were either indifferent or negative in charge relation. It is what it is. I suppose some sadistic self harming people might hold onto something that provides them with a negative charge but it is a reinforcing negative/ unhealthy practice)
