puppybox, i said shame because i feel that one word was at the core of my being for a very long time.
there are a whole bunch of words that came before the shame though.
fear, abuse, vulnerability, self-loathing, doubt, disgust, mistrust, guilt and pain, are just for starters. and i guess anyone of these could have easily been left as my answer. i feel though that the main factor is the way in which i handled myself in difficult situations, and it is my actions that i feel shame for.
ta for asking, and i hope this explains a little, chez x

Normality.
That might seem a strange reason... but it was because that was what my world was like all my life, growing up in a happy but hoarded house... it's *how things are*, so I just continued the pattern... really without even realising I was until more recent years.
There's a lot more involved now, that has developed along the way- such as emotional attachments to things, which is also one of the reasons for my mother (my father has other *reasons*)- which makes it harder to change, than if it was *just stuff* to me.
But yeah- following in the *Family Tradition*.

Quite alright, Sid /Sloth! Glad to have you aboard here.
Actually I've been thinking my name here lately, that's the OLD me - whom I hope doesn't return! So please don't take it personally if I change my name soon.
I've been thinking about this thread and can't really sum up in one word why my place got so messy for a while - chalk it up to "living in the moment too much".
I know that's six words, sorry about that....seems that for a long time cleaning and organizing were always at the bottom of my priorities, and there's always a million things I'd rather be doing.

no maintenence.
(Thanks Annie! Very interesting thread. One of the best ever. That's why we love you.)
In other words, I can deep clean a house but I have trouble with maintaining it. I will go to church everytime but then I don't go at all. I committ to loosing weight but I can't stick to it. I start a journal but only write in a few pages. I'm an avid squalor survivor participant and then I don't check in for two weeks.
Someone tell me what this is...I haven't figured it out yet.

Ignorance---I didn't know how to keep a house because I never saw it happen

Depression---Kept me from fighting to figure it out.
