Guys/girls: if someone has a sex dream about you and tells you, how does it make you feel? Remember this could be (and likely is) someone you’re not remotely attracted to
Ok, Im reading between the lines here Caco and.. hey girl, you're cute and all and I'm extremely flattered but.. well, ya know there's the distance thing. But hey, if we lived closer who knows😉

It depends.
Does this same dream include Teddy Roosevelt, a woman's synchronized swimming team and black bears riding unicycles?1 -

I’d love just five minutes inside your head. What a trip that’d be3 -

I feel like you're leaving a detail out😏3 -
But if they did!
Would it make you uncomfortable?0 -
I ask this question because I have a lot of incredibly vivid dreams that I don’t put any stock in, so i have, in sundry times, been known to tell people when they’ve made an appearance. I always saw it as more of a conversation piece, but now I see i’m just a filterless goat out here bothering people and making them uncomfy 😆5

I don't think so. I'm a pretty vivid dreamer and I know how random they can be.
If it's someone I don't want to talk to in the first place, I don't think their dream content would have any impact either way. If it was someone i was friendly with, I don't think it would make things awkward.1 -

I think if a female told me I wouldn't be bothered at all. I will even probably ask for details 🤷♀️🤣2 -

Depends on the ex, but honestly? Most of it is trouble and I'd avoid.1 -

1?
Depends I guess. I have two guys from around 8+ years ago who pop up in my inboxes or friend requests every now and then. One was my big time relationship and we usually just have some catch up conversation and that’s that until the next check up. The first few months after the breakup though I had to ignore him because the wound was too fresh.
The other was my rebound that I lost my mind over and we just keep adding and deleting each other.....
I think most of my exs contact me at some point but the first one I mentioned was the only one who wanted to meet up and I did. We were good friends for a few years even.1 -

Oh, how I love, @GymGoddessGoals answer 😭🤣. Yet, in reality, I'm the type of person who can get along eith their ex.
Not sure I can go all out and say we're friends but I'm able to friendly with all of them. We shared time together and I can honour that, cheer on their successes and be of some support during hard times.
At the same time, there's no going back into a emotionally deep or physical relationship so boundaries are made clear from the time of the break up (and reinforced/reiterated, if needed).2 -

Assuming it's not my ex that I have kids with...
#2. Exes are exes for a reason - keep the ex in exit.2 -

My reaction is usually “huh, they must have something big going on in their life” and that tends to be accurate. I’ve had exes reach out to tell me they’re getting married or having a baby or something. Other times it’s “I’m away on a business trip and remembered that time we..” 🤦🏼♀️
But in general I’m always happy to hear from them. They’re all humans that I got to know quite well, and the idea of severing all contact feels unnecessarily harsh.
I’ve had people do that to me, though, and I understand the reasoning.2 -

As a man... I just will never be able to find it in me to shut someone out... Regardless why life may have took us down different paths...
Once a friend always a friend, and that's not something I say on the outside and try to cultivate inside, that's something that is deep inside, that comes outside...
But I realize it's different for women in today's society... They generally have to be much more guarded...3 -
hey this is a great segue into:
so guys/girls of MFP, what *would* make you cut someone off entirely?
i'd say let's start with it from the perspective of a lover/former/situationship etc etc, but you can expand it to friends/acquaintances if the first doesn't apply.3 -

Deep seeded narcissism you know won't change. People who have clinical NPD have no capacity for true emotions towards others/that aren't self-serving. You can't change them, they won't work on their issues, seek therapy or do anything that is beneficial to anyone but themselves.3 -

Almost my entire childhood/young adulthood circles are cut off. I don't think it would be permanent if I were to recognize change away from whatever drove the wedge. It isn't always an animus situation either. It could just be decisions and actions of a lifestyle that aren't conducive to whatever it is I'm trying to do with my own.5 -

Anyone who has sexually assaulted myself or that I know (100% verified) has sexually assaulted others. If they engage in stalking behaviors, narcissistic behaviors (not just traits, but full blown behavior like gaslighting, manipulation, withholding emotion or sex, etc.). Given that I have been in situations with individuals who have engaged in or are guilty of these things, I think that cutting them off was the only sane solution.
These people are "toxic" in the truest sense of the word. They will do nothing but take until you are a shell of your former self. Not worth any vested interest on my part.2 -

It's not really 1 single thing, it's the sum product of all the things.
Relationships are ultimately transactional. You get something from the other person, the other person gets something from you. Relationships don't work when those transactions get too far out of balance, too lopsided. If a relationship is unbalanced to the point it becomes problematic (rather than typical ebbs and flows), then I have no use for the person and dealing with them becomes taxing, at best. Why would I want that?
For context, I have very little interest in casual relationships/interactions. Either I'm all in or I'm all out. Small talking social butterfly I am not.3 -

Gaslighting, manipulation and/or constant deceitfulness (to me or if I know they do it to others). That kind of energy is to be avoided, imho
For the sake of clarity, I'll tell them about themselves (from my pov) before the cut off though.1
