Is it normal if I cut off people and I'm fine with that?

  • It is normal to become annoyed with some behaviors, mainly when you spend a lot of time with the same people, you tend to notice them more and small details of their personalities will make you become "sick" of them. The fact that you cut those people off is absolutely normal, because if you feel that those people have nothing positive to contribute to your life there's no point forcing yourself to hang around them. And it's even normal to get annoyed with your close friends, because hanging around the same person for long periods of time makes you notice details you don't particularly like, and if you're away from that person for a while you'll miss them and those details won't seem so significant.
    I don't think you should feel bad about it. You just know who you like and who you don't, and you give the people you like a chance, otherwise you'd block them out as well. I think it's just a matter of you not wanting to force yourself to put up with people just to have someone around you, which is way more mature than being all nice and fake. When you like someone, you know how to deal with the things you dislike. There's nothing wrong with that..

    • Hmmm yes I like that you appreciate how I don't act nice and fake just to maintain positive vibes. I really really REALLY wish there were more people like that who admire honesty. HOWEVER, I always thought it was more mature to deal with the person's flaws and not let it impact you in any way. Not exactly acting fake but just learning to deal with it. But even though I think that way, that doesn't stop me from cutting people off. Sometimes I wish I had the strength to look passed people's flaws but I don't. I am working on it here and there but who I am takes over in the end and that's cutting people off.

      • Well, but you shouldn't feel bad about it. You're not weak for not liking everyone. No one likes everyone! If you are able to care for some people and give them your attention and even still be with them when they annoy you (not cut them off, that is) it means there's nothing wrong with you. You're just selective with the people you choose to give your affections to.
