A month ago, I wrote an article about when you need to let someone go.

At the beginning of the article, I stated that you sometimes can’t practically cut ties with someone.

You still can let them go, though.

I provided some quick suggestions. Here is what I said:

Don’t be confused that if you can’t cut ties, you can’t let someone go.

You still can let them go in different ways.

You can minimize contact, keep it casual, keep it professional, stop offering help, or just change the depth of the relationship you have with that person.

There are options.

The main idea is that you don’t allow the person’s toxicity to ruin your life. To prevent that, you let them go. And you can let them go in various ways as long as you prevent them from negatively affecting you.

That’s a good piece of advice though it’s not detailed.
