I have had a friend leave me yesterday which was unexpected.
I have learnt through this that I easily connect and put my trust in people. Even though we were not as close as we had been, it is still hard to know that someone you once cared for dearly doesn't want to know you anymore.
From this short period of time, I have a few tips on how to cut ties with someone which I might find useful in the future to look back on.
1. Block them on everything.
With social media being a large part of many of our lives in this age, it is important that you make sure you block them on every social media platform you have has well as delete their number etc. Even though this is super hard to do, it will stop you snooping at 2am when you just want them back.
2. Put everything that reminds you of them in the bin/a box.
The best thing to do is to throw everything that reminds you of them away, to stop you having to think about them everytime you look in a certain place. However, I have learnt that seems impossible for me to do. So, I have put their stuff in a box out of sight, so I know that I have it all still and when I am stronger I will throw it away as another progress step.
3. Stop thinking about them.
This is by far the hardest step out of them all. It has to be done though. No matter if you burn all of their stuff and block them everywhere, you cannot stop your brain functioning by thinking about them as that is what you have been doing for however long. Every time they come to mind you need to block it out and think of something else, distract yourself in any way possible and make sure you actually do. You know it is best deep down.
