If being in contact with a certain person is giving you anxiety and stress, is it best to cut them off?

Yes

Not always

Life is not THAT simple. Depends on who it is, what role they occupy in your life, and the cause of the conflict.

Someone you dated that wasted your time

If they were a waste of your time, why would you hesitate to block them from your life?

Depends on how long. Even good things can take time to get used to, especially for people who have an anxious personality.
