> Some kind of symbolic gesture for emotional relief.
Calling someone neurotic and insinuating they are doing this for symbolism instead of having a real, tangible effect on their life is rather narcissistic, don't you think?
These sort of comments always baffled me; they read as if you've never taken the time to talk to someone who lives or operates differently than you, and don't consider any way but yours a valid worldview and lifestyle.

It's not that it's digital notes, that I can leave - no, my mind would be occupied with them. When I was younger, I would throw my stuff away, hoping that it will help me get more disciplined.

Even if you think it's wrong I don't see what's self-important about that claim. Maybe there's lack of empathy but that's only a small part of narcissism. And saying something is done for emotional relief doesn't sound like lack of empathy to me.
