What toxic behavior has been normalized by society?

I've definitely thrown things out. There was a brief period in my life where I accumulated stuff and the weight it left on me was a lot. Then I felt like I should sell it or donate it, and the thought of organizing sales (photos, contacting people, meeting people), or sorting stuff for donations to a half dozen different places... The stress immobilized me even further.

So then I just chucked everything in the trash. I feel better. I'm also not sorry that I did it for me. I DO think it sucks that it happened in the first place because it was wasteful, but at least I'm trying to do better now.

10/10 recommend this for people in my position. I wasn't even hoarder level. It was just more than I felt like I could deal with easily.
