What do you say to someone when they insist you to throw/give away your things you don't need.
But you still want to keep....like favorite books...I mean, you'll never read them again...

It seems like a lot of THEY’S think THEY know exactly what everyone else should be doing but each one of the THEYS usually has something in their own life that they should be more concerned about.
My answer is simple I’ll take care of MY stuff and you can take care of your stuff. If I happen to need a hand doing it I will ask for help.

@Repete My sister brags on Facebook about being a “minimalist”. She won’t buy anything if she can get it from free from someone. She manipulates people for sympathy and someone will give her what she wants. Like getting free stuff after helping to organize a garage sale, and she looked down at her feet in front of the lady and remarked that she had worn the same shoes for over 2 years and they were worn out. Of course she had checked the sizes on other shoes she was sorting for the sale first. That lady walked into the house and out with 3 pairs of Skechers for her. And this lady was paying her to organize the sale. She had done it to me a few years before too, cherry-picked things. Then saw where she was posting them on Craigslist to sell for her own pocket money. Kept doing it after I was done with her. Now she uses Facebook to do it, posts some type of sad story and someone will give her new boots or whatever. She’ll do it so she doesn’t have to budget for such things. But turning around and trying to force me to part with things I want to keep is uncalled for. I haven’t been in contact with her for about 8 years now.

@cherokeepatti can’t blame you for that.
I consider myself a minimalist but not to get anything for free, I’m more than willing to pay for something but I’ll usually use it until it can’t be used anymore 😂. I have everything I need and some things I just like to have .
I have a collection of movies a lot on vhs , I collected stamps for a long time and a few other collections mostly small things
