I've been going through my clothes trying to pair down, since I'm moving in 35 days. After rigorously getting rid of many, many pairs of socks, I still have SIXTY-THREE PAIRS. I undoubtedly had over 100 before I started. I think I have a sock problem.

HOW.

HOW.

I don't know... I think my family members have just handed off a lot of socks to me. I also often get socks for Christmas, and they all go missing so often that I have to go buy more. I told my Stranger, "If I ever tell you I need to get more socks, tell me 'Absolutely Not'".

I must have less than 20 and I wear them out SO FAST. I like being gifted socks cause I often need them
I don't own a single pair of plain coloured socks though, that's my sock reputation

I do have a ridiculous amount of clothing in general. I have a wardrobe that's totally full, I was using eight out of fifteen square cubbies for clothes, plus the six large, deep drawers built into my large bed frame. Still had clothes without a home. I could go two months without doing a lick of laundry, and still change every day. I actually don't own any pajamas, though.
I've gotten rid of 30 or 40 shirts so far, as well. A lot of these things are things that I've had for over a decade, and I certainly don't need them anymore.

I don't wear socks out very often, but I also rarely wear socks! Even if I'm shivering at home, I don't wear socks. That's why I only kept a handful of cozy socks, I'm sure I'll get colder out West.

I can't comprehend I genuinely do not own enough clothes

I own WAY too many. It's easy when there's a Goodwill the next town over, and a nice thrift store just down in the village. Everything costs just a few bucks. I also don't spend my money on pretty much anything. No insurance (Stranger paid this year's car insurance when my dad unexpectedly said I'd need to cover it and it would have made me go broke for the year, it was a huge blessing), gas, food, etc. It's really nice to still be at home. I expect my Stranger will give me an allowance of some sort, we'd previously discussed it. If he does, I'd probably still ask him to guilt me out of getting those things, lol.

Clothes shopping is so foreign to me Honestly though, shopping full stop is a lot for me sometimes. If I'm going into a store, it's for a reason, for a specific thing/s, to get and leave immediately. Clothes you actually have to look at everything I don't like spending money either.
Also probably doesn't help I lived out of hand me downs for most of my life

Hey, that's totally fair. It took me ages to not be tense going into places. Fortunately, the thrift stores are usually mostly empty. It was a good place to get used to things. I also used to hate spending money, but now it's somehow flipped around and I have to be careful. The only money I'm currently making is a small "Service fee" I charge my folks when I go out to get groceries (which they've always done for my sister and I). It tops out at about $40-50/month. I plan to see if my grandparents need any work done at their house, since I'd like to put together a gift box for my little sister (she's been calling me the "Evil Sister" because she's mad at me for leaving).
