Phase Outs

For a long time now I've been the guy who talked about phase outs. Over the past couple months, I've realized that I've unintentionally (really?) phased out a few people. Not necessarily completely, but what's happened is that I've separated myself, and as a result, I no longer see any point to continuing communication.

I can sleep at night knowing that none of the people who fall into this category will suffer one iota from any decision I make.

In fact, the only real "decision" is whether or not I want to take the step of torching the bridge. To continue the metaphor, I could just as easily take a different route. There isn't a need to be "official" with something like this, right? But, if not, isn't the whole thing just in my head anyway?

Since none of the people have caused me harm or done anything to deserve harsh treatment, all current phase outs are indefinite. I am suspending all contact until further notice. In the meantime, if one of these individuals feels the urge to get into contact with me (they never do) then I suppose I can indulged their whim.

This is what happens when your only communication with people is a stupid instant messenger device. I'm so, so happy to be free from those handcuffs. Fake friends be damned. After all, that's all they ever were anyway.

The more I post Random things that aren't funny news stories, the more people will realize what a deplorable human being I really am. Should be fun.
