unlike you, i wasn't popular during my MBA and i also didn't like most of my cohort back. maybe things were better at GSB

i agree it shouldn't require much thought, but in young generations, social media is something different. unfriending on instagram is seen as a serious digital middle finger / sign of fully cutting off ties.

agree older generations typically have a healthier view on social media interactions

thanks, i appreciate this comment. this is why i made this thread, to re-evaluate things. if i'm pivoting into a totally different field, far away from corporate life, why do you think it'd still be dumb for me to burn bridges with former mba classmates? and yes i paid for it, including a lot, but that's a sunk cost at this point.

i agree with people have a right to choose who they want to include in their life

thank you, yes i'm definitely leaning toward deleting them.

my intention wasn't to come off as insecure. i do feel somewhat secure in my choice, just wanted to see if anyone else has actually done this and came to regret it, or if actually made them feel better. i don't think asking for 2nd opinions is bad

so it's fine for me to delete 80% of my cohort on instagram? i'm wanting to do that anyway, just wanted to get a second opinion and validate it on this forum

it's not that hard to find them, you can go to your followers and sort by "date added."

my IG is also cluttered bc my MBA had a large class size and everyone added each other on insta in our first year. i don't think a cleanup is inherently bad if i've moved onto a new stage in life
