Summary: In the space of three months, I have completely changed my plates, and even closest friends.

To not go into too much detail, I had two very close friends. Not necessarily RP but two close friends who were part of my life, so much so to call them best/close friends.

However, TRP has taught me to value my life. As a result I decided to drop them both from my life. The improvements has been astounding. Less stress. No exhaustion from things I don't enjoy. More freedom. Less anxiety. Just pure bliss.

One guy was a good looking guy, who was sadly not so bright. He was an awful wing despite his good looks. We went on a vacation together, and he was a fucking nightmare. I couldn’t take his whining, bullshit, and he was just not my cup of tea. I no longer speak to this guy.

Simply put, the other is a con artist. I don’t want any affiliation. Anymore. We’ve been friends for 15 years.

Also, I had a collection of plates, and was even dating one almost exclusively until recently I had a reminder of all her red flags. All gone, especially the latest one, as she was starting to be a burden to my life, so I dumped her.

The lesson I have learn from this is simply, if you value your life. You have to cut ties from people (men AND women) who bring you down, screw you over, annoy you etc.

I have had no plans this weekend. It was liberating, but lonely aswell. But lonely is a very beta term. Life can be what you make it. You can keep busy, I personally am a huge fan of tinder. It has gotten me laid loads of times, so essentially a couple of swipe rights can do the trick to top up your plates.

However with friends its slightly different ofcourse. But I cannot stress how important my decision to cut these people off were. Remember it takes something for me personally, quite inappropriate for me to cut ties. An awkward holiday with my friend, who just kept getting drunk, vomiting in the room on the bed, having no class, always getting drunk, shouting and being a buffoon, not for me. The other guy, well, less said is better.

So value your life. If youre doing something tonight that you cannot be bothered to do. Don’t do it. Don’t bother socializing with morons because you cannot be bothered to be alone. Value yourself.
