Dead to me
Sunday, June 02, 2013
Sometimes, friendships reach a point where you need to shut it down. For me, it means they become dead to me.
Dead to Me level is not reached until after some time On Notice - just like Stephen Colbert's list.
Texts take longer to get responses, if any response. Make up excuses to not hang out. Rather stay home and clean than go hang out. When you do chat on the phone, you end up thinking in your head "OMG YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" the entire time. When their face pops up on your Facebook feed, you groan and quickly scroll down. You'd rather hang out with someone that you're not that close with over the person that you were, at one point, close to.
Phone calls are ignored. Text messages are ignored or even the number is blocked. Facebook profiles are hidden from the news feed altogether or deleted from the friends list. Just seeing their name mentioned or their likeness makes you want to scream and punch something. You try to not go anywhere they might be because you just don't want to see them. Just the idea of being around them makes you feel ill and enraged.
I've only in life made two people dead to me. I think that ended up definitely for the better.

Why are you dead to me or on notice?
- you're so self-absorbed that you don't even know how to act like you care about anything else but you
- you're flakey as fuck
- you have no sense of loyalty
- you put little to no effort into the friendship and when you need something, suddenly I hear from you
- I don't get anything out of the friendship anymore; joy, laughs, free stuff, whatever.
- you're cheap as hell for things that involve both of us, complaining about not having money but yet spending tons on designer clothes/purses
- you are way too attached to someone like your parents or your significant other to the extent that you pretty much have no other friends (that tells you something) and when we DO hang out, it's like you are inconveniencing them from time with that other party (or randomly invite them along)
- you are too much of a downer; I like me some ranting, especially if I can relate, but if you're complaining about how hard your soft-handed world is in a non-quota type workplace, I just can't
