Should you unfollow an ex friend? You guys were very close but your lives now are drifting apart. There’s no communication between you guys for over a year but you still see their feeds popping up on your screen

muting is a middle ground if you feel odd about unfollowing, but there’s really no harm in unfollowing.

I don’t even follow all of my actual friends that I see every weekend - so it’s not exactly a measure of a relationship.

Friends come and go (and even come back). Everyone has their own lives to manage. It's ok to drift apart. You could always just mute their posts than just removing them?

Yes. Cut bait. Move on.

You’re an ex friend for a reason. If something happened that caused the break, then go ahead and unfollow. If it’s just drifting apart what’s the harm in seeing the posts?

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of.

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

Hey sweet ladies, C (26 male) this side. Hope you are keeping safe and healthy!

About me? People usually say I am their go to person for when they need emotional support, advise about relationships and when they feel low, maybe because I help them cheer up again and be the ear they need.

I am a great listener too. I can go on listening to you if you feel low, won't say a word until you are finished, will hold your hand when you are done and try to bring your sweet smile back!
