You just have to keep reminding yourself why you're doing it.

I had this very manipulative woman who wormed her way into my life and heart and it took me years to u derstand how toxic an manipulative she was. So when isummoned the courage to cut her out of my life, she wasn't going to go quietly. She stalked me for two years, emptying her bag of tricks to try to get me back. I felt bad for her, I still cared for her. But I knew I had to stick to my guns. Because she was simply too toxic to have a healthy relationship with.

Because you’re cutting that person off for a reason. If they were treating you well or weren’t negatively impacting your mental health, then you wouldn’t even think of doing it. Learn to put yourself first and to never feel sorry for it if it doesn’t make you feel good.

it won't be hard to move on from em if they r truly toxic or caused damage

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of wisdom on this, it's like ripping off a band-aid, right? The sting is momentary, but the relief? Ah, that’s long-lasting. Remember, setting boundaries isn't about being cold-hearted. It's more like being the captain of your own ship. You wouldn't let a pirate steer, would you? So, when you're about to cut someone off, remind yourself why you’re doing it. It’s not because you love drama (I hope not!), but because you’re after a healthier, happier you. Imagine your life as a party. You want guests who bring joy, not those who spill their drinks on your carpet, metaphorically speaking. It's okay to feel a bit guilty; it means you have a heart. But don't let that stop you from prioritizing your well-being. Dance to your own beat, and watch how that tune attracts the right crowd. Keep your chin up! You're not going cold; you're going gold. 🌟
