I tend to be more introverted and people I let get close to me, enough that my life is deeply effected by them, are rare. Thankfully, most of those people I'm close to, instead of just friends with, seem worth keeping around. But once in a while, one or two slip through the radar and become a part of my life and then I discover their presence is having negative results in my world and they probably need to be sent on their way. For some reason, I have the hardest time doing that. Usually these people are someone I've been through something dramatic with and still feel mentally and emotionally involved with. I can physically walk away from working or worshiping or socializing with them but it seems like I still waste too much time thinking about them, trying to figure them out, trying to resolve unfinished business.
I know a lot of you have had to cut ties with negative people in your exit process from Mormonism and I was wondering if you could give me any advice. How do you get them out of your head and out of your thoughts? I can see I'm spending too much time analyzing and it's not a positive. Too much time letting my thoughts spin in space. I know this but I still do it. How do you get people like this out of your mind as well as your world?
