It is common to see people giving advice about ''cutting people
   out of your life''. And while this is healthy surgery in many
   cases, especially when dealing with toxic personalities - when
   you are segregating you and those who agree with you apart from
   what you consider whole ''groups'' of people - you make your
   world very very small. This happens a lot in high schools when
   stereotyping is at its worst. Thankfully most people grow out of
   MOST stereotyping after high school. If you're out of school,
   when is the last time you heard someone be called ''a jock?'' or
   a ''loser''? Those labels mostly disappear. (yeah, I research
   trends - been doing that my whole life - just for fun. Just call
   me a geek or a nerd or a know-it-all or a bore: I've always been
   proud of those labels)
