proceeds to instantly sell it at the next merchant

You... Sell things? I'm not even sure that's legal, you most horde everything especially rare potions that would ease certain game bosses quite well.

I immediately sell any old gear as soon as I upgrade. Potions and shit definitely get horded though.

See, the problem is—at least with some games, BG3 being the most recent example for me—that there are relatively few clear upgrades. Most of the time it's a judgment call, and you're trading one ability for another that you think will be useful more often. In those situations, I usually feel like I should hold onto the old gear, in case I end up wanting it again. So I end up carting around a fair bit of stuff, especially since I feel compelled to open every damn container in the game.

This. I'm always overencumbered because I too legit have to explore everything and look at everything. I may have like 200 hours in a game and been like 40% of the places because I'm too busy finding places to store junk.

This is so me actually. I can't say exactly why but in some games using potions feel like cheating. Same with other temporary buff items lol
