I don't usually make them. But I know what it is now.
To ditch all the dead weight people in my life. The
people that pretend to be your friend but aren't really.
The type of person that makes a big deal about all they
do for you, when in actuality they do nothing or just manage
to screw you up more than you already are. They never
apologize when they do anything wrong, but are quick to
point out your faults. The type of person that is very quick
to lean on you when something goes wrong in their life, but
when something is wrong in yours they tend to hide.
And lies. It took me 45 years to figure out that minor lies
on the part of a 'friend' are a sure sign of trouble. Watch out.
These type of friends want all the rules to be theirs, and make
no concession for what you want or need. They aren't really
your friend. They just say they are.
It's best to break it totally off. Cold turkey. Yes we learned to
depend on them emotionally (stupid people that we are) but
if we don't break it totally off there will just be more heartbreak
and hurt down the road. The road is long and hard enough
without asking for more trouble.
But it's still sad.
