"Literally" my pet peeve

My pet peeve is when people use the word "literally" when they mean "figuratively".

     For example: "I literally DIED."

     Unless you literally died and then were brought back to life, please don't put the word "literally" before the hyperbole.

     It isn't always necessary to state when a person is using figurative language, but "literally" is a specific word I don't think should be used to emphasize a non-literal statement. Otherwise, why word do we have for "literally"? "Literally literally"?

      This is too much...
