Well, I know this won't fly so well on these boards with some of my fellow posters, but when I hear WoW - I start to get negative connotations of social behaviors. Maybe I'm old-fashioned or closeminded - but for me that sets off alarm bells. Regardless, in these situations I tend to think of what it means to truly be a friend. If you really love someone as your friend (and to me a true friend is a special thing), then you should be happy for them when they make changes in their lives. Even if those changes don't involve you. I've been cut off before, and I'm sure I've cut people off. I don't recall specifically cutting anyone off whom I didn't have obvious problems with...but from the perspective of the cut-off-ee perhaps it's a different story. The point is that I trust and respect my friends to make choices about their lives. If they move in a direction in their lives that doesn't involve me, then I'm happy they're moving on with their shit and I wish them the best of luck. Maybe that relationship gets rekindled in the future, maybe it doesn't. Either way, I wish them the best of luck and I'd like to think that I'd be there for them if they needed me. Sort of like distant relatives. I don't hold it against them when they're involved with other shit - I hope they are happy and successful..completely aside from whether or not they're actively involved in my life. I would assume that they've got other things on their proverbial plates if they're unavailable for regular horseshittery...then again, I'm perfectly happy living as a hermit if I have to, so there you go.
