Reply to comment by Ganjii_303 in Don't linger in someones life if they no longer want you to be part of it. Have some dignity [Discussion] by TreeB7

Do not remove them, keep them but do not like or watch any of their posts or stories, always remember that when people distance themselves from you, it is not your fault, it is their insecurities and their problems, just move on, sometimes people come to our lives for us to help them with something and once our job is done they just move away, be happy they left because their place in your life was only temporary, only the real ones stay and the fake ones tend to leave.

But why? I want to remove them. When I was younger I accepted everyone and anyone. Now that I'm older, I only keep friends on social media that I actually talk too. So why keep them around?

It is really a personal choice, for me I like to keep them to show them that even tho they are not part of my life anymore, I am happy, satisfied and going forward with or without them, you might think that they do notice that but they do, people feel it when you detach and move on.

I forgot the most important thing, you need to forgive them for doing that, once you do you will feel much better and the emotional exhaustion that they put you through will go away for good.

Then go ahead and remove them and stop worrying so much about why they wouldn’t remove you. Seems pretty ridiculous to sit around deciding how other people should run their own accounts. Just do what you want with your own and move on.

Seconding this. You are totally free to cut off people who are no longer a part of your life. That’s actually needed to make space for the new people that will come into your life.

Wish them well, then move forward.
