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!

Empathy. It f*****g hurts to feel everyone else’s pain and suffering.
Fat
I've lost a great deal of weight, but it has no trouble finding me again...
Hate for people that don't use turn signals while driving.
Sclerosis. I have multiple.
Unfinished projects
As someone who does a lot of crafts this one has left me feeling attacked, haha!
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.
Insecurities
Things to do
Dreams. I can't do them all so I don't do any of them
Time on my hands. It's ticking away with my sanity.
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all? Is it any wonder I've got TOO MUCH time on my hands.....
Caffeine. My blood is coffee
Guinea pigs, I love them but 6 is a lot lol
Hot sauce. About 120 bottles…I have no food in my fridge, send help
As a pharmacist, a c**p ton of vaccines that we constantly have to throw away.
I hate joining our Clubs or Become a member to get a discount on an item. Just forget the club sign up and just lower the price for everyone!
Anger, depression, debt, guilt and borderline personality disorder..it all needs to go :/
I didn't see boobs on the list. I would gladly give some boobs to someone who doesn't have enough. Also junk mail. I get way too much junk mail... I get off the mailing list, then donate money and shazbat! Back on the list.
Tell the organisation to put you on their 'STOP' list. Admittedly this may depend on your country but in some they legally have to maintain a list of people who have asked not to be mailed. So if they buy a list of new prospects and then run it against their stop list they will find your name and remove it from the next mailing. Or if you send more money. This doesn't work 100% as some lists don't maintain the details very well and if you are addressed as Mrs GoddessOdd, Dingle Hill normally but they searched for Mr Goddeod of Dangle Hall it might get missed - though systems are supposed to find 'fuzzy' matches. Hope that makes sense - ask if it doesn't! 🙂
Load More Replies...Hair. I want to cut off about 8 inches so that it won’t take me an hour to brush it every night, but with that much I should donate it and that takes some waiting for the donation process.
