I finally read the details of what Danny Masterson did, and I felt so sickened I couldn't even finish the reports. I can even sympathise with feeling the need to defend someone you were close to even after a conviction - but definitely not when it comes to the sort of crimes that Masterson committed. He's a pure sociopath. I would have zero problems cutting off someone like that. Honestly, what were Ashton and Mila thinking?

It’s so insane to me because people have cut off spouses/parents/siblings/children who have committed heinous acts so the “they’re my friend” is no excuse, they co-signed all his bad acts by trying to help him avoid the full consequences of his actions

tbh I'm often surprised by how attached some people are bc I honestly have no problem cutting people off my life over mundane things, let alone serious ones. I'm a great person to be around, there's no way I'm wasting myself on shitty folks lol

[iamjohnbeans]

This is such a great mindset! I aspire to be more like this tbh.

It's definitely a process (that it gets more and more liberating as time goes by). Take your time <3

The Aquarian in me cuts folk off for the pettiest shit, so while I used to be confused as to why it wasn't so easy for others to do so over serious things, I realize it's actually too easy for me. Attachment is normal.

[ginainabottle]

I wouldn't say it's too easy bc depending on the relationship, I do take the time to mourn. It's just that once I'm done - really done - I don't look back. Life's too short (and I'm also an Aquarius lol)

[glitterslugs]

I’m the same lol

may we stay blessed <3

I recently cut off my partner’s brother’s gf bc she had been really awful behind my back telling ppl about my alcoholism even tho ive been sober for 2 years and she messaged me “i hope we can make up some day, it’s so awkward we don’t talk at family things anymore” and i just said “no, it’s only awkward in ur head.” Lmao

I'm exactly the same.

Gorl, yes

I love that so much. For too long I tried to educate/change people older than me before I just gave up on trying to help or even contact them. I was raised to be polite and respectful but, too bad for me, I took that to the extreme lol. It took age as well as weariness and wariness of the world for me to get where you are. For that reason, I try not to shame or chastise my daughter for rejecting or refusing someone...I want her to feel comfortable trusting her instincts over being "nice". People might call her spoiled, but I call her decisive lol.

[ginainabottle]

You're doing her a solid, my mom is just like that and my instincts have saved from a shitload of awful situations bc I don't force myself to endure discomfort unless I absolutely have to (aka work lol). I've been called spoiled before and I honestly do not give a flying fuck, I'd rather be spoiled and happy than making everyone happy while I'm miserable. And let's face it, a lot of time us ~spoiled gals are just women who aren't afraid to demand what we want, and that's a great feeling ❤️
