    I have a hard time not feeling sorry for people who hurt other people. I mean.....I don’t feel sorry for a rapist or murderer. I’m thinking more of people I’ve known through the years. I make excuses in my head that they must be suffering from mental illness or personality disorders. Because otherwise my brain has a really hard time computing people being *kitten* for no reason. But...that’s probably REAL Pollyanna of me.

    I just cut people out of my life cold turkey. I try to help heal other people where it’s appropriate. But I’d be glad to throw the first stone at a rapist

    Are you saying you ghost people? Or do you usually give them a reason as to why they deserve to be cut out of your life?

    No judgment from me, genuinely curious.

    I find that some people, it's harder to "cold turkey" than others, but usually the ones I have to ghost it's because they have narcissistic or abusive personality traits. Not always.

    I won't lie, I've ghosted probably more people than is considered "normal". I just don't have the mental fortitude or energy to explain to every person who ends up being an *kitten* (in my estimation) why I stopped talking to them or cut them off completely.


    I wasn’t saying that. But I do.
    Sometimes. For unrepentant meanies.

    Some people just naturally drift apart and I’m ok with leaning into that too.

    If we’ve never met IRL and I feel you’re trying to drag me into drama that has nothing to do with me then I’m just done.

    There are some friends though who I will never let go of. They are precious and rare. We know each other well, warts and all, and for whatever reason we extend mutual grace to each other.

    Eta: also, I get depressed and low energy sometimes and can’t deal with social interaction. My good friends know this. They understand I’m not ghosting. And they just wait it out.

    Unrepentant meanies. I like that. Stealing. :tongue:

    I agree with you; the rare few friends are a precious resource you should guard. The few I have are pretty understanding of my quirks and we're 100% okay not talking every day, or often. I think our personalities are uniquely similar, but also distinctly different, you know? :heart:

    I really want a donut. Damn all of you.

    Going to make oatmeal now. :/

    Girl!! Eat the oatmeal and then have the donut.
    or maybe have the donut before the oatmeal

    Two donuts and skip the 0atmeal?

    I'd rather go on my terms (because we both know I won't be allowed to stay), and I'm more productive without any distraction I'm any case. I'm about to be needed again in the real world, so better to say hi and bye now.

    It's nice to know who you are now 😆 it's too bad you are not staying. As for you not being "allowed" to stay. I think alot of people who have been banned should be given another chance, I don't know the reasons behind it but everyone makes mistakes. You've been here a while now and you didn't bother anyone. Best of luck 😊

    And I’m allergic. Looks like I’m cutting off the feet to make leg warmers. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    You... you’re allergic to...

    What.
