Can a story have too many I's?

Question

I have written a story, and the only bad feedback i got was that it had too many I's. Is that really a bad thing?

Answer

sometimes using the same word alot can make people lose interest or irritate them. i can't even come up with a solid plot device or names for characters. so that's good for a first story.

Answer

I am actually writing my own 1st person story, and I find that I also use a lot of I's. At first I found this troublind, but I found that if you use some good sentences that don't have a lot of I's between the ones that do, then you will have a pretty good paragraph.

Answer

The issue you having is your (I'm guessing this a person POV) starting all of your character's sentences with "I", example: I went outside to get fresh air, I felt the wind rustle my clothing ect. 
Using to many "i's" causes plainness. Try starting sentences like this: opening the door, I stepped outside, the wind rustling my clothing as my hair swept itself up by the breeze. ect.
It's all wording not words.
