I tend to either act as a data hoarder, but most of the time end up being overwhelmed with anxiety about having so much data. Even when I just look at my personal photos, I just feel impeding doom knowing it can only grow and grow, it will never get smaller.

I was wondering if this had a term.

And coming from this question, I am just amazed by this community. What has prompted your interest in data hoarding?

    my friend, there is only one alternative, that is going off grid, pulling the plug of that damn fiber connection

    it’s not a good idea to completely stay offline, but the opposite of a data hoarder is a normal person who is not concerned about data flow, where it comes, goes and the methods of storage. this is extremely unhealthy, and if you’re already experiencing anxiety, it’s the final phase before you suffer a mental break down

    the trick with anxiety is that if your brain gets used to it, it’s always there and you will always suffer from it. psychiatrists are training people the opposite way with antidepressants, they get the brain used to not caring and less anxiety, a bit sedated and relaxed, and the brain goes automatic
