Is it Okay to Cut People Off?
You can set a standard of how you expect and demand to be treated, by cutting off those who go contrary to what you believe is the proper way to be treated
Itâs okay to cut people off. Itâs more than okay; itâs necessary. If youâre like me and canât stand when someone acts rude, lies, or is just plain dishonest, then Iâd say cut them off. It may make you feel a little on edge but sometimes protecting your energy is more important than protecting othersâ feelings.
Why Cut People Off?
To Protect Your Energy
Your energy, aura (also inner beauty), and vibe are everything. They are priceless. Who you are deep down and the beauty of that is something you should jealously protect. Your âenergyâ or your inner power, force of being, or light is at the core of who you are and your lifestyle. As such, if someone doesnât fit into your life or recognize the privilege that is being in it, then simply cut them off. They deserve it.
Sometimes People arenât a Good Fit for Who You Are
It can be so unsettling to learn that sometimes people arenât a good fit for who you are. Sometimes your energy is unmatched or unaligned with theirs and at this point, itâs better to just take a step back from being acquaintances and cut them off. When you make a new acquaintance (someone who youâve just met and arenât really friends with yet) and their energy, aura or vibe is off; then you have every right to choose to end the relationship or friendship even before it begins.
Better to End Things Early than Depend on People Whoâll Disappoint You
Cutting off an acquaintance may hurt at first, as all breakups do but itâs for the better. To be honest, itâs better to end things early than grow to depend on someone who will later disappoint you. Donât you think youâll regret trusting someone whoâs untrustworthy or loving someone whoâs undeserving of your love? Wonât you regret being too much of a giver to a taker whoâll give you nothing in return?
Should I Cut Someone Off?
Donât Be Too Much of a Giver to a Taker
Donât be too much of a giver to a taker. Some of us are naturally givers and will care a lot, and quickly care about and love a person. However, when you realize this person is a taker and doesnât give as much as they take, then you know itâs better to cut them off than to continue to always give. Knowing and understanding that some of us give and others take is a good thing. However, you still have the prerogative to choose whether to continue giving a taker or to find someone whoâs a giver too. More importantly, someone who will give as much as they take. Iâd advise going for the latter.
All Givers Need Givers
All givers truly need givers too whoâll reciprocate their energy, attention, and love. For instance, if you are looking to date someone and realize that youâre naturally a giver, then you are better off looking for someone whoâs also a giver. Even more, someone whoâll give as much as you do and add a little on top. Who wouldnât want someone who positively challenges them to be better?
Cutting Off Someone Challenges Them to be Better
A good thing about cutting off someone is that it challenges them to be better. It may end the acquaintance or even kill the possibility of a friendship or relationship but it will at least send the message that you expect them to be and do better. It can be so difficult sometimes to get that across.
I am Not Sure Whether I Should Cut Someone Off? What Should I Do?
Be and Do Better
Maybe that person needs a wake-up call to learn to treat others better. You cutting them off can be a way to let them know that indeed they can be and do better. It also sets a standard for yourself on how you expect others to treat you. I may even go as far as to say that it also allows you to set a standard for how to be treated by others.
Cutting Others Off Sets Standards for How You Should Be Treated
People may think that they can just go around hurting othersâ feelings or being rude or plain intolerable. As such, you can set a standard of how you expect and demand to be treated, by cutting off those who go contrary to what you believe is the proper way to be treated. This can be part of setting your own standards.
A Little Pain, A Lot of Gain
Iâll admit itâs painful to just cut off someone youâd started to love and appreciate. However, since the both of you were just acquaintances and didnât really become friends fully, the pain wonât be as great as that of a breakup. Even so, the little pain that will be there will be worth the great gain of not letting someone undeserving into your life. Itâs similar to taking bitter prevention medicine which is far better than getting ill and having to undergo a procedure or heal a disease. Sometimes losing someone after youâve cut them off is for the better, not the worst.
