6 Signs You Need to Cut Certain People Out of Your Life
Building connections with others is a vital part of being human. Humans thrive within community, and cultivating your community wisely is important for your ultimate well-being. It’s normal and natural to have disagreements with people and not get along perfectly. Even in your closest, deepest relationships, there will be periods of turmoil.
But through healthy disagreements there is opportunity for growth. You can learn how to better communicate and empathize with others. You can challenge one another to learn new ways of showing love and appreciation.
But there may be times when some people are no longer worthy of your energy and time – and continuing relationships with those people will drain your soul, bit by bit.
As a human, it might be hard to know when it’s time to let go of a relationship and when it’s time to push through and fight for it. It’s not always black and white, but there are some signs that it’s time to cut someone out of your life for your overall well-being.
Here are 6 signs you need to cut someone out of your life:
1. It’s a one-sided relationship.
You’re always open to giving and helping, but never receive the same effort in return. They’re constantly happy to take, but never willing to give. In fact, they totally drain you of all you have and don’t seem to think twice about it.
In any relationship – friendship, romantic partnership, family dynamic, etc., – it’s important that both people meet halfway. Without effort from both parties, the relationship quickly becomes one-sided and draining. If they aren’t willing to meet you halfway, it’s time to let them go from your life.
