So the other day I got this urge to abandon my "policy" and get rid of anyone on Facebook whose posts didn't make my day better. I deleted the following groups of people: Kasser, T., & Sheldon, K. M.

There were ten participants in the study, three males and seven females, ranging in age from 24 to 52 years old. The participants resided in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States of America, Canada, and Germany, and in a range of living situations, including living alone, living with their partner, living with their children, and living in shared accommodation.

I just deleted over 200 people off my Facebook friends list, and it feels great. I am calling this part 1 of my Facebook phase-out, because now that I have the ball rolling I am questioning who I really care to be friends with and whether I want to keep Facebook at all. Have you deleted Facebook, or have you ever culled your friends list? Please share!Possessions before allowed me to be inauthentically something that was more socially acceptable, now my possessions are more an expression of who I consider to be my authentic self. (P8). 4.2 Competence

Edit: none of these habits are to a point where they'd gross one out, i never feel grossed out but I'm really different I'm some of these aspects. I wash a stain off immediately, even if in the middle of the night. He, on the other hand, wouldn't attend it for a few days. Beyond everything, this man is the best thing that has happened to me so if i can't work around it, I'll live with it. Self-choosing one’s own behaviour that is congruent with one’s sense of self was a key theme in the study. Sub-themes within autonomy included a sense of freedom and liberation, aligning with one’s values, and a sense of authenticity. Richins, M. L., & Dawson, S. (1992).

Participants described mental space as a feeling of clear-headedness, of space, lightness, and clarity within one’s mind. Two sub-themes comprise mental space, the connection between the internal and external world, and saving ‘mental energy’. I would much rather buy something that’s really nice and well-made that I can appreciate and savour and just have one of those rather than have lots of things that are kind of a bit cheap that I don’t really engage with. (P8). 4.5 Increased Positive Emotions Many participants, particularly those with children, highlighted saving time as a result of spending less time cleaning and organising, which contributed to this feeling of freedom.
