Friending
I get too emotional & let things upset me too much. I know that - & that's my issue.
I suffer from depression (I had to give up a job I loved because of it) & have to be really careful to insulate myself as best I can from things that will upset me. Some people may think that's cowardly but it's a coping mechanism.
I think I'm going to have to spend less time online & use that time for other things.
If we've grown apart (fandoms/interests change - it happens) or you're only here for certain media posts I might make & those posts may now be ending or you really only want to read my fic or look at my art (it's all posted to my archiving lj:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
starshinedreams) or for any other reason - then please don't worry about removing me from your flist.
The whole word 'friending' (or 'defriending') is such an emotional minefield but think of it as a reading list. If you want to take me off your reading list then I won't be offended. In a similar way I think I have to make some cuts to my own reading list in the next few days - nothing drastic but just to give me some breathing room.
*hugs*

I just don't want people thinking this is a cry to come & stroke my ego or anything. It's nothing like that at all. I just felt that I wanted to explain.
I'm not swishing my cape around my shoulders & storming out - just making my flist more managable so that I can hopefully spend more of my online time enjoying things.
*hugs*
