Cleaning out “Friends”. I just did a sweep of 10+ people (out of my ~50 Facebook friends and it feels SO good. No more reading their statuses and being irritated how they treated me like crap. No more guilt from holding onto a certain person who suddenly changed into a hateful person, defining herself as only a single word. I’m sorry, but if you jump on everyone (including the few who wanted to support you) for any little thing we said, you acted like you cared but then you never asked about me after I disappeared from that city, and you suddenly hated your closest friends (this made no sense, because they were in similar situations: I think you just snapped and lost it with a lot of people). But me? I just became a picture on Facebook. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through so much, but I can’t keep reading about how well things are going for you (don’t get me wrong I’m glad), without wondering why you never worried about me disappearing. I worried so long about you, but you’re fine without me. Good. To all my other de-friended people: many of you just seemed fake in the first place. This is huge for me, because I’ve held on to so much guilt by keeping “friends” on my Facebook who were never friends. I also had intrusive thoughts about de-friending them. ***I would highly recommend this, but be sure about the people you choose to get rid of! *This post might sound a little self-abdorbed, but I'm finally learning how to think and care to protect myself.
