There were three people who I really needed to shake off. My ex and a female friend of ours were clinging to me and really draining my time, I would visit them and they would both fabricate reasons for making me stay. To this day I don’t understand why they were so desperate for my time, it wasn’t as if we even enjoyed time together.
The thrid person was a nasty bully who I am unfortunately related to. I still have to live with that person, but have managed to cut myself off from them.
