Is it normal to drop people and never look back?

Throughout my life numerous people have come and gone. Although, I am quite easy going and slow to anger, if one of my friends or family, lies to me or does me wrong in any serious way, I dump them.

Not only do I decide I don't want to be friends with them any more, I am able to completely and utterly wipe them out of my life and my memory. I delete their number, refuse to take their calls and never even as much as think about them again!

I don't hate them in any way, it's just as if I've never known them. Most people I know seem to make ex friends their enemies and obsess about them. They worry about what they're saying to their other friends etc whereas I don't care at all or even mention their names again.

Have I some sort of personality disorder or is it perfectly normal?

    I'm not sure if I would call it a disorder. I see it as you being very independent, which is a good thing in a lot of ways, but it's probably also not that good at times. It shouldn't be so easy for you to cut everybody out of your life, even if they do horrible things to you. It's great that you don't let them get to you, but some of them may deserve to be forgiven and if you don't take certain ones back, you could be missing out.

    Well I pretty much did that as soon as I left school... just cut off all contact with all but 2 friends... one of whom joined the army xD

    I don't think I could detach myself from just everyone totally and emotionlessly but... most people.

    Friends are the family you create for yourself.

    I wouldn't say it's abnormal but mostly a matter of trusting people. I have the same view at times but try to give a friend or family member another chance....kind of like forgiving a boyfriend who has cheated on you. A good way to know if you're making the right decision is asking others what they think and see if the person is deserving of another chance.
