“We live in an age where we feel guilt whenever
we have to cut someone off but the reality is that some relationships do
need to die, some people do need to be unfollowed and defriended. We
aren’t meant to be this tethered to the people in our past. The Internet
mandates that we don’t burn bridges and keep everyone around like
relics but those expectations are unrealistic and unhealthy. Simply put,
we don’t need to know what everyone else is up to. We’re allowed to be
choosy about who we surround ourselves with online and in real life,
even if it might hurt people’s feelings.”
— Ryan O’Connell, You Don’t Have to Be Friends with Everybody
