This post reminds me of a quote of Edith Wharton's that is the best definition of resilience –

In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.

Can totally relate to this. In fact, it is recommended that we cull our facebook (or other such networking sites) friends' list once in a while….or as Robin Sharma put it, do a clean sweep and get on with life. But I guess it's easier said than done …..specially in countries like India where people (are relatively more tolerant?) still don't mind living in each other's pockets.

[...] have a few more complaints, but am afraid this woman will come and yell at me again, so I’ll save them for my secret password-protected blog. Hah. [...]

Indeed, in today's harsh climate (literally and figuratively) it is very important to focus on the positives in life, if one wants to lead a happy life!

hello, it's me stalking you again. LOL – seriously, love this post as I just ended a 17 yr old friendship for exactly the reasons you listed – the psychic energy to be w/her was too great. The interesting part is that she was the one who initiated the falling out by leaving me in a store – when only an hour before she was pontificating about passive/aggressive behavior – ironic. I chose then to end it… and her self-righteous rant she emailed me about my lack of response sealed the deal – I must admit she made it easy, and a heavy burden has been lifted out of my life – free at last!
