That wisdom has been my wisdom for decades. People come in and out of our lives for a reason.
I cut people out of my life all the time. I to thought it was a borderline symptom as I once someone pisses me off or I feel jaded by them I cut them off.
Also: "Things are never as bad as I think they are going to be."

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
