I've had that icon for almost a decade and a half. And I actually still read Megatokyo! RSS feeds mean I just read it when it comes up and otherwise forget that it exists.

I'm having the same thing. I used to lean more toward just cutting people out, or stopping talking to them, but I think I was much too quick on the draw and being more forgiving would be better. I'm trying that now--including with the person in this post--and we'll see how it goes. I'm in a better place mentally than I was back when I kept cutting the cord, so I'm hopeful.
