To some extent, the old man is "heart shortage". Get a relative sense of security by hoarding waste products, release emotions and enrich life through the process of picking up garbage. To completely eradicate hoarding, we need more love and patience from family and children, and at the same time guide the elderly to go out of their homes, participate in cultural and sports activities, establish new social circles, and enrich their old age.
Zhou Yunqing, a professor in the Department of Sociology of Wuhan University, believes that some elderly people have experienced a relatively hard life and have developed the habit of managing their families diligently. Diligence is a valuable quality. We should respect and understand the living habits of the elderly and should not blame them too much. People are social people. After retirement, the old people reduce their contact with society, and they will feel marginalized by society. They should increase their contact and communication with others through social activities. The community can play the role of party member, volunteers, grid workers, etc., and visit the elderly living alone in empty nests regularly, so that they can feel the concern from the society.
"Loneliness is a big problem in the hearts of the elderly, and the phenomenon that the elderly living alone love to pick up things is more obvious." Li Xianfu, president of Wuhan Sino-German Psychological Research Institute, said that some old people love to pick up garbage, which is actually conducive to the reuse of discarded items. From this perspective, this kind of behavior is beneficial to society and can guide them to become garbage sorting volunteers.
Old people need spiritual sustenance and self-identity. By picking up waste products, they can get money and things to supplement their families, which makes them feel from the heart that they have realized their self-worth and will become addicted over time. "Children should consider their parents' inner needs and feelings, spend more time with their parents and reduce their inner loneliness. "
The public's views on the elderly picking up garbage at home.
Regarding the problem that the elderly at home like to pick up things, most citizens say that their elderly people are fine, which is not obvious. Occasionally, I will pick up plastic bottles, but the old people will not take them home. They are usually put in the storage room in the basement and sold together with the waste items at home.
However, there are also a few citizens who say that it is precisely because of the previous indifference that the elderly at home love to pick up things at home more and more, which seems to have gradually become a habit.
Some citizens also said that it is natural for many old people to be thrifty all their lives and get used to it. They want to exchange their waste for money, but I'm afraid it's difficult to do so. It's better to leave them alone, draw them a fixed place, and persuade them to tidy up and sell them often, instead of accumulating for a long time. After a long time, maybe you will get used to it.
