The Bitching Sessions

 Janne do...

Koi aaye toh welcome.

Nahi aaye toh bheed kam.,


Yes, we’ve all seen this pop philosophy doing rounds on Instagram. But when you’ve lived through an entire season of cutting people off — not just one random afternoon mood — you start noticing patterns. Especially if you’ve had the privilege of being part of what I call...

☕️ The Bitching Sessions (Unofficial Group Therapy)

Chai pe charcha.....

There’s something incredibly fascinating about these “venting gatherings.” Especially the Time Factor:

Minute 1: “I just need to vent. I’m over it.”

Minute 3: pulls out screenshots from 2019

Minute 6: “I’m not saying she’s toxic... but if I had to plant a tree in her name....

Minute 10: “Anyway, I wish her well. In another dimension. Far away. Without Wi-Fi.”

It’s not gossip. It’s emotional archaeology.

The storm and the silence... the silence and the storm.The decision to block...cut off... gently walk away.

πŸ‘­ The Bitching Buddies: Every Calm Person Has One....

 “Behind every peaceful person is a WhatsApp group where she or he said everything unfiltered.”

"She believed she could — so she screenshot it and sent it to the group.”

These aren't just sessions. They’re survival rituals. And sometimes, they lead to one big event of the year: Mass Deforestation.

Yes — cutting people off like trees.Thank you 2024 for supporting me.

🌳 The Great Emotional Deforestation of Last Year

It didn’t happen overnight.

The timber mafia never operates in broad daylight. Similarly, cutting people off takes time, reflection, and usually 2–3 chai-fueled bitching sessions.

The Process?

1. No explanations — because I don’t owe anyone a dinner or a coffe....or...bullet-point breakup.

2. Silence — where I finally hear my voice again.

3. A sacred pause — that moment when a close friend s massi said, “You’ve been unfair. I’ve done so much for you… I’ve worried about you.”

And you go: “Wow. Thanks. That’s emotional cardio, not actual care.”

πŸ“œ The Bitching-Approved Cut-Off Strategies

Research .... conversations over burnt garlic and wine) has shown:

If it’s a friend → Give 1–2 chances.

If it’s a relative → Maybe 3, if you’re feeling saintly....

Some Holy shit you want to believe about you..

After that? Time for warning letter and then The Suspension Letter.Be kind anyways...first to yourself and then the other.

πŸšͺ Choose Your Weapon:

Blocking is not cruel. It’s a lock on the door of your peace.

Ignoring is not passive-aggressive. It’s advanced-level self-preservation.

Denying their energetic presence is yoga for the soul.

You don’t need to share your spiritual journey with those who came for a reality TV episode.Be mindful.

🧠 But Wait — Are They Bad? Are We Too Good?

Not necessarily.

Sometimes, it’s not about who’s right, but what feels right.

Before you cut, ask:

Ask yourself powerful questions:

Am I triggered by ego?

Or are my emotions consistently going overboard around this person?

Do I feel confused, drained, judged after interaction?

If yes — darling, that’s your inner forest whispering: Time to trim the deadwood.

✨ A Sacred Reminder

Not everyone needs a PowerPoint on why they were removed.

Some chapters can be closed with love — and without captions.

Humpty and Empty had a great fall — and we don’t need to post it on Instagram.

Sometimes, the quiet quit is the most powerful act of healing.

🍷 So What Comes After the Cut?

More naps.

Wine.

Burnt garlic.

And best of all — peaceful silence that doesn’t require constant emotional crisis management or watching you tube video s on peace or listening to podcasts.

πŸ•Š️ So...now...where are we..

Cutting people off isn’t cruelty — it’s clarity.

Blocking isn’t bitterness — it’s boundaries.

And bitching?

Sometimes it’s just emotional exfoliation — you shed what no longer serves, laugh a little, and move on.

All this because you

  You owe yourself peace....your are precious and your feelings are important.

Pray...pray..pray... for people who are good for your soul...not to feed on your fears and insecurities..

Gosh, it seems that I have left a teeny winnow in my mind, open! Every now and then, I too go through a similar roller coaster of emotions, but can never seem to use the filter! It’s always a past memory, a moment of support, a kind gesture that I recall, and am back to accepting what ever comes my way - of course, there is venting and regrets too, but in spite of all that, I feel abundantly grateful for the experiences that come my way. They serve to test me , my resilience and self control. May our Creator look upon us with benevolence always!

A part of me always felt guilty and anxious over removing toxic people. The thought of “but they’ve been with me for so long” always pulled me back.

But as they say, some people are for a season, and some for a reason. Under any case they need to be let go when their time is over. There is sometimes a bit of bitching involved but it’s all fair until it’s not done out of ego.

This hits home (with love). 🀌🏻

For most of the situations wherein we have said a NO to someone and ended up losing them or sometimes losing someone else due to random presumptions and feeling as if we have lost a part of ourselves or sometimes just reaching a threshold with someon and then choosing silence offer chaos. No matter what we did and how it all started with chai and screenshot.
Today this article had just given the most needed validation for all of this .
WHAT A WRITE UP MAM, what an AMAZING ONE!!!!!?
