Pintervention
My friends and family think I need a pintervention.Does any one else have this problem I do not know what to do.Please help.:facepalm:
This question is some what vague with very little explanation as to why you would need a "pintervantion" though I agree with Tokaji, if it has truly turned into an addiction/hoarding situation then maybe you do need a intervention. I personally dont have this issue because i sucked my family into my pinning ways. I think there are a few questions you need to ask yourself to see if there is a problem with what you're doing or maybe your friends and family don't understand your hobby/lifestyle...My friends and family think I need a pintervention.Does any one else have this problem I do not know what to do.Please help.:facepalm:

Is this an avid hobby or a lifestyle?
Pinning can really turn into a lifestyle rather than just a hobby, which there is nothing wrong with that other than people don't always agree/understand your lifestyle choices.
Are you hoarding or collecting?
Are you pins being displayed or just boxed and bagged up?
Are they properly packed away and out of site when not in use, or are they just all over the place with no organization at all?
Can you walk through the space where you store your pins if you keep them in one room?
This can be a fine line sometimes depending on the storage space you have where you live. But if you're just leaving them around every time you buy new ones and leaving them around your room/house then you may have organizational issues, everyone organizes differently so you have to find what works for you... not what people tell you to do, I have ways of organizing that seem crazy to other people but it works for me.
Are you buying pins instead of food, rent and things you need to live?
If you are putting inanamit objects before your own livelihood then you may need to reassess your priorities, living and taking care of your own well being should come first.
Have you become obsessive?
If you're becoming increasingly upset when you don't get the pins you want and it's causing psychological and emotional changes in your mood and behavior then maybe it's time to take a step back and find some self composure.
Have you become a hermit?
If you're just sitting in your house and buying pins and only communicating through the internet with no real human interaction, this can be a problem because you're loosing your social skills which usually is noticed first with friends and family. If you were a hermit by nature, it's always good to get out of your comfort zones and breath in some fresh air (not the air in your front and back yard)
Are you only talking/thinking about pins?
Sometimes it's good to try and keep the pin-chat to a minimum when you're around people who have no interest in pins or Disney. Sometimes I forget when talking to people that they have no idea what I'm talking about or the abbreviations I'm using and so on, so I try to keep my pin hobby out of conversations unless it comes up or I'm talking with another pin collector.
I'm sure there are more things that can be added to this short list but it's a good start if you think that you may have a problem.
I would say the best to do is to talk to your friends and family about why they feel this way, sometimes it's something that can easily be fixed but communication is generally the key to many situations. Even if you all agree to disagree, at least it won't cause any more tensions between your relationships. People don't have to agree with you and you don't have to agree with them, as long as you find a way to respect each other's differences you can always find a compromise. Hope this helps a bit.

They want me to sell half of my pins off but i am having a hard time picking which ones.I have 5000 to 6000 in my collection.
Pins are controlling my thoughts and actions.They are becoming more than little scraps of metal.I spend crazy amounts of $$$$$$ on them and then regret it.
OK, if that's the case, then you definitely need a pin intervention and you may want to go to counseling to address this. It could potentially be considered an addiction.
