1. Get rid of it. You are allowed to be ruthless. If you have a nearby charity shop, it is 100% legit to put together a For The Charity Shop bag (I'm not sure if they're really a thing the US does?)
2. That thing you say? About "if only because no one else wants to deal with my crap"? Yeah, the reason my room was an utter tip through my childhood and most of undergrad, and suddenly my home (shared with Awesome Housemate) is approximately clean and tidy except for health-related lapses that get sorted relatively quickly? It is because the mess was insulation and armour. It was a way to keep people the fuck AWAY from me. And that's... a thing.
