guilt but protecting myself

I’ve recently blocked some people on social media, even ones I’ve been friend with for 20 years. I’ve posted on my social media but they were watching my every move and it completely weirded me out. They acted passive aggressive or I got a stalking vibe, so instead I just blocked them from seeing anything I’m doing. I’m more comfortable with staying friends with them but so they’re not seeing what I’m up to online it makes me feel a lot safer mentally honesty but I do feel some guilt. I’ll definitely still answer if they text or call, but afraid of being watched if people know too much about my online activities😵‍💫

Proud of you for doing that! You are protecting yourself, and you should never feel guilty about that!

If you got weird vibes go with your gut feeling. And just post what you feel comfortable posting. Keep in touch with them. I think that's important. Text or call them. No worries.

Hugs xoxo

Hey, Its good your taking care of youreself. I feel guilty because of ignoring others to take care of yourself I am unsure why I feel like that. You do not need to feel guilty, take care of yourself
