That sounds both irrational and unhealthy. Why are you suffering from stress because you have stuff?
- twodave 1y agoI thought the context of my comment made it obvious. Unneeded and unnecessary items cluttering up your home are to me akin to leaves in the garage. It inconveniences me every time I have to step around or over them, clear space to set a drink down, move that box in my closet full of old cables, etc., similar to how walking into your garage with socks on is a lot more annoying if there are leaves and pollen about. I would contend it’s rather less healthy not to notice these things since they subtract from one’s executive function.
- nullc 1y agoHad your comment said that you were inconvenienced by stuff in your way when you were trying to get things done or find things, I wouldn't have even considered commenting.
- twodave 1y agoInteresting! I thought that was implied by my use of the word “clutter,” since that’s how I think of the term.
