People have a tendency to hoard things because maybe they think that they don't have enough or that they’ll eventually use that thing. Some people take up a hobby of collecting items that bring them joy, and to others, it may seem like just clutter. What is clear is that we all have too much of something.
Reddit user LetsMeetNextTursday wanted to know what those things are. However, the user formulated the question “What do you have too much of?” leading people to name not only material things but also negative emotions and problems they would like to get rid of.
The answers are actually quite relatable and some of them are so true it hits close to home. What would you add to this list? Let us know in the comments!

Pet hair in my clothes
I'll wear a black velvet suit and be loved to death by Samoyeds, I don't care! There's never too much pet hair - it's always worth the price!
Debt
Debt is slavery. When I was a beginning teacher fifty years ago, the salaries were very low, and we were stupid enough to use credit as a supplemenary income. After awhile, you realize that you're working for the banks, not yourself. Took us decades to shake free of all the debt. Most of the crap we bought on credit is long gone. Translation: we didn't need it in the first place. My advice to those starting out now? You might have to go into debt for a house and a car, but pick out a car that will last a long time (Toyota, etc) and pick a small, simple house in a neighborhood that is stable. Don't be tempted trade in either the car or the house. For all other necessities, shop in the second-hand places. Don't try to keep up with the Joneses. We are now totally debt free and can spend our money pretty much as we please. The funny part about that is we really don't want or need that much, and can use our money to help people, which is the best investment anyone can ever make.
Anger.
The deeper suppressed kind. Not the "road rage at strangers while cutting them off in my lifted pickup" kind.
I always know when I'm coming back from depression - I start feeling anger again
Mosquito bites🤬
I would like to find and depolarize the mosquito magnet I am apparently stuck with.
Self-loathing
Unused Items and gifts that I have that takes up space in my apartment. I just have too much s**t.
I moved house a few years ago and got rid of a ton of stuff in the process. Now I have a rule for myself that I'm not allowed to buy something unless I actually really need it and I know exactly where in my house I'm going to place it. Or it's a gift for someone else. And my friends and family buy me gifts that get used up, like perfume or candles. No more overwhelming clutter.
