If you feel emotionally drained, abused, manipulated, devalued, deceived, like you are hard to love and respect or, like you need to lower your standards to be in a relationship with someone… You should consider cutting them off.
It is okay to cut someone out of your life. Sometimes, it is necessary. Although it isn't particularly easy, there comes a time in almost everyone's life where there's a person one needs distance from or that one needs to cut out of their life for good.
Cutting someone off is an informal way of describing a specific breach in driving etiquette. It only happens when you're changing lanes and it can occur on both highways and local roads.

You probably can't prevent others from cutting you off, but you could say something like that: “I wasn't finished”, or, “can I please just finish what I was going to say”. Sometimes speaking over the person who's cutting you off can help - simply talking on and holding a hand up to show them that you haven't finished.
Absolutely not. Cutting someone out of your life means you are no longer obligated to them in any way, shape, or form, including communicating with them. Chances are, they know why you are cutting them out, even if they don't want to admit it.
