I feel exactly the same as you do. There is an initial guilt, however my theory that people are only in your life for certain life lessons and a certian amount of time, makes me feel better.
Sometimes people are purely toxic and arent worth your energy, too.

I think you hit the nail on the head, after the "but".

Sometimes it is necessary to distance yourself from people.

Emotional vampires etc.

Sure you feel guilty, but this feeling passes if it was necessary.

That is a very good reason why you shouldn’t do it, at least without good reason.

Hey, just wanted to give you a perspective from the abandoned side. For real.
I was friends with someone who was better than me, but at the time it seemed we were equal. Anywho, he dropped me as a friend, but it turned out OK because I wouldn’t have been able to subsist as a member of that social network.
I couldn’t feel cool, and he took no pleasure in being a dorko.

Years later, I’m still a looser, and even if I would have tried to make it in, no one could have helped me anyway.
It would be worse for me if I had to try to be popular.

But We Can Still Get Along, Right?

When I abandon someone I make sure it’s for a good reason. Some people need to be abandoned. Technically, I guess the word abandon would only apply to someone you still care about though. I can only think of one person I’ve done that to and yes, I still feel guilty about it to this day…over 20 years later. I’ve even tried to find this person on line so I can apologize and patch things up…hopefully.

To feel empowered by abandoning someone you care about is unconscionable. To feel empowered by abandoning someone that is leading you into the sewer, or whatever metaphor, is a good thing.
