MySpace, AIM away messages, public blogs....

Ever have a friend that you used to talk to all of the time? Maybe an ex boyfriend or a close college buddy? If you had a fight with this person, it was always fairly easy to move on if you stopped talking: no one would call the other, and life would be grand.

Now, even if you don't call the other person, their entire life history still pops up in places: myspace (which I refuse to get so I don't experience this), public blogs, away messages (and granted, you have to check them, but stlil). The person's in depth details of their life are still so easily acceptable, that it takes 10 times the effort to truly push someone out of your life if you want to.

Discuss.

That info is not easily accessible if you don't try looking for it. It sounds like you've tried finding something against your better judgment; then regretted having looked once you found it. Yeah, the information is "there" but I don't think it's actively being placed in your way. It's just... easier to find if you desire to look for it... be it a smart move or a regrettable one.

Just curious, how old are you.. do you have a job of any sort?

Erm, not really.

- Don't read and/or visit their blog.
- Remove their phone number from your cell.
- Remove their contact info from your instant messenger client(s).

It's always been A) look or B) don't look. I actually consider the non-online portion of avoiding someone much more difficult, as is the partitioning of mutual friends and such.

I'm trying to find a way to say this without sounding condescending but I'll just put it out there on the table and you can take it how you will... you really really need to find a release for yourself, a way to let go and unwind. Reading some of your topics.. you worry so much about stuff that doesn't matter. Take up a hobby or something? My intent is not to attack you, just a thought.

um... don't read their blog/online stuff... and delete their screen name? If you have mutual friends.. well.. that's always going to be there regardless.
