Please post graceful ways to cut people from your life without

snap your neck with your bare hands,i'm sure they will understand

There's virtually no way to do this gracefully. I'm talking to people I've known for years periodically because I don't want to hurt their feelings by ghosting them or telling them I don't want to talk anymore. It fucking sucks balls but there really is no good way to do it.

The only winning move is not to get involved, anon.

>having empathy

Normies get out

it's called stop talking to them.

young people are really attached to their friends, it's cute.

Stuck like this as well. Looking for a way out without incurring anger.

It's the fucking opposite for me. I ghosted people left and right when I was younger and now that I'm older and understand how much that hurts someone, I stopped. It's not that I'm attached to these people, it's that I have some basic compassion.

Trust me, I'm an expert. I do it by mistake.
First, find a valid scapegoat taking up your time. This could be a gf (real or fake), a new job, studying or so on. Vidya or degenerate activity are no good.
Using this excuse, gradually reduce your communications frequency, in this order:
1. several times a day
2. Once a day, at hours your excuse allows (if you work 0800-1600, 1800 is a good time). Allow 1 month for this.
3. Once a week, preferably on weekends (if you do it during the week, they might make plans for the weekend). Allow 2 months for this.
If they do make plans, miss around 50%.
4. Once a month. 6 months.
5. Twice a year. 2 years.
6. On their birthday. 2 years.
7. Never.
This way they never even notice it's intentional. If you don't mind them noticing, speed up the schedule or even go cold turkey; a good excuse for that is getting into a fight with them and acting like they deeply offended you.

that's pretty accurate anon
recently reached stage 6 with an old friend from school, it went pretty much like this

gradually distance yourself. Instead of talking to them daily, do it every two or three days. Then every week. Then every two weeks. Then every month. Once a year maybe.
