Causes
The Sock Hoarding Epidemic (SHE) is a condition where individuals accumulate large collections of socks, often to the point of hoarding.
Causes of SHE include:
- Loss aversion: The inability to part with a sock, even if it's worn out or mismatched.
- Sensory issues: The overwhelming pleasure of soft textures and colors.
- Hoarding personality disorder: The tendency to accumulate possessions, including socks.
