I am a young woman who had a large fall from grace. I have a long laundry list of reasons why I embarrassed myself at my white collar job that I unpack regularly with my therapist.

I follow a bunch of coworkers who I started working with right out of college on my personal social media account. I also have them added to my LinkedIn.

Sadly, I am convinced that I have made a fool of myself in front of everyone I had met during my time at the company. I want to block everyone that I met there on my personal account. I also want to unadd a few connections on LinkedIn.

The reason I want to block the people on my personal account is because I feel unsafe to post about my personal life. The reason I don’t want to make any changes is because I also see how petty it is to unfollow 30-40 people.

I want to unadd connections on LinkedIn because I feel like they were bullying me. However, I also understand that they are just people that I work with and having more professional connections is better than less.

I ruminate too much on how I feel about myself to want to broadcast it to the wrong people. I want to erase 18 months from my life personally and professionally on my social media accounts.
