Remove Gift Items

Seeing as apparently having the mounts in question removed isn't possible, I'd definitely recommend above. I use favorite mounts roulette and barely if ever open the mount guide.

Generally if it's been given as a gift it can't cause a chargeback to the person unless the gifter specifically asks for it(there's a policy on chargebacks if you want to take a look at that part as well). I've known people who want to cut out people from their lives, and merely remembering just from small things does not make it bad. At most, just accept the gift as an aesthetic and move on. You can forget about the person, sure, but just because you hate someone doesn't mean you have to cut out every single thing - you'll mostly regret such destructive actions later.

You can't make blanket dismissals of people's emotional struggles like that. If they say something reminds them too much about someone, it's not your place to tell them the reminder is too small to hurt them or to dictate how much pain they are or are not allowed to feel.

Saw left right and figured why not donkey- I mean middle.

More of a 'both' but there are obviously people who just bring you down no matter what. To be hyperbolic you could point at the 'friends' who bring you into hard drug and entire lack of responsibility circles. Best off to drop them like a giant sack of coal coblyns, unless you 'want' to be like them.

Yet I've also known people who as soon as they get upset start to dejunk belongings, go into an immature spiral that feeds itself, unfriend, and sort of place the person they're mad at into 'banishment' mode for them and anyone associating with them. I find this response to pain exceptionally annoying lol. A close family member used to unfriend myself if they were upset (and other family members). I made the situation relatively simple to them, if they unfriend me I'm not going to accept any refriend requests later on (I think I left it alone for many years before I said okay "don't do it again or it'll probably be longer or never"; although, to be clear it's not like ignored their calls or in contact (and I generally dislike managing my social pages anyways lol), just not going to jump through hoops because they want to throw a tantrum). I was not going to actively support the immature behavior, especially over things so silly.

Naturally I've absolutely no idea what you've gone through, so who knows.... Like I said "donkey". But certainly both points here have their own time and place. If you know you handle things poorly, but you want the relationship to continue, then it's best to set it aside as best you can rather than have it turn your actions into regrets later (or make other people regret being around you). Or alternatively the person has cause such devastation that along Rongway's lines 'you do you' lol, there are such situations where it's just like "hey whatever, you do what you have to do.. I'm sorry".

For a far lessor middle ground example myself I always got rid of /everything/ from an ex. Simply because I didn't want it to be a thing I carry around or make awkward about (and I didn't like a partner to do the same, so "do as you wish to be treated" lol). I didn't get rid of stuff out of rage, it was a calculated thought, one which I've zero regrets for.

Anyway, no idea what's going on - hope all is well. Just thought to say I think both parties made fair points given specific circumstances.

Basically everyone has given advice I would give about it (fave mount roulette is deffo a good option!) but I just wanted to say I hope you find something that works for you! It must be pretty rough hanging in there but here's to making better memories~
