Since this is anonymous, I want to be really honest and hear your opinions, especially from other girls here.

Recently I blocked a few people who were quietly ruining my peace of mind. They didn’t do anything “terrible,” and I don’t think they were trying to hurt me on purpose, but our interactions were really affecting me mentally.

One friend in particular would complain about her life every single day. Almost all of our conversations were about how people abused her or treated her badly. At first I listened because I care and I wanted to be a good friend, but over time I realized it was dragging me down too.

Every morning when I opened my inbox, all I saw were long messages about how someone hurt her again. When I got sick and told her I wasn’t feeling well, she just said “hope you feel better soon” and then went straight back to complaining. Our conversations became completely one-sided always about her. I started to feel like there was no space for me to share anything about my own life. Even when I did try to share, she would somehow bring the topic back to herself, so I eventually stopped opening up.

Little by little, I noticed I didn’t even want to talk to her anymore. I didn’t have the energy to keep absorbing all that negativity, so I blocked her. I thought I would feel guilty, but honestly I felt… lighter. I think it was better for my mental health.

I also blocked another girl on social media who was really affecting how I see my own life. I’m actually content and grateful for what I have but whenever I saw her perfectly polished posts, I couldn’t help comparing myself. Even though I know social media isn’t real life, it still got into my head.

Lately I feel like I’m being “harsh,” but at the same time, I did this to protect my mental health and peace of mind.

Has anyone else gone through something similar?
Do you think it’s okay to block people even if they didn’t do anything “directly wrong,” just because it’s too much for your heart?

Please be kind. Thank you for reading.
