Cutting People Out

I have had the tendency to decide to phase out/cut off connections which I don't feel are going anywhere, but I look at it slightly differently now.

Were they really that one sided or have I had my own issues with demanding attention etc? Because my own self esteem and need for validation affected a lot of things.

Having said that, I do know when something isn't working anymore. There was one instance where I was too afraid to cut someone off because I knew they'd blast our conversations on social media and I didn't want to deal with that, although they did that anyway.

I do look now as to how comfortable I am with someone, and whether I can be myself, or close to myself, around them.
