Why do I have so much stuff? I hate it all. Should I give it all away? Ugh or set it on fire (probably not very eco-friendly but very emotionally satisfying)

What shit is worth holding onto? (This seems like it might be a pretty deep question. Discuss.)

    I've been here before and setting it on fire (or otherwise destroying/discarding it) is unfortunately much easier than giving it away, and at least for me when I'm at the stage of being totally overwhelmed by it my brain needs me to take the path of least resistance otherwise I'll get task paralysis and do nothing while it gets worse and my brain tortures me about it. (For me at least that's part of my ADHD)

    Under communism we'll have a service like trash pickup that takes all the usable stuff you want to get rid of, sorts it, and distributes it to the people who need it or breaks it down and recycles the components.
