Hoarding tendency due to childhood?

Hi, I’m starting to realise I have a bit of a hoarding habit, clothes and kitchen stuff being the main habit.

Examples are buying 5 pyjama sets instead of having several of the same kitchen utensils.

I think the trigger may have been living in a big household and sharing a room, and sometimes having my things (new ad old) thrown away by a sibling.

The downstairs rooms and bedrooms are tidy with no hoarding, but the storage bags of things are stacking up in the spare bedroom and attic.

The hoarding is mainly new things, I am able to dispose of things that no longer work for me.

I am getting worried as there isn’t a stop button and my mum is getting worried.

Does anyone have the same and how do I make my myself understand that I don’t need to buy for the future?
