The act of eliminating all possibility of return or retreat.
You said you didn't want to be a fugitive, but you shot a man in Reno, tried to sell cocaine to a cop, and kicked a puppy into moving traffic! Talk about burning bridges, mate!

unable to move on or get someone out of your head. you only want that one person and nobody else so there is no escape. they're burning bridges to other people so it's that one person or nobody for your two options.

One of the worst experiences in middle to high school. To burn a bridge is to break away from a close friend, who you have consistently been on good terms and have had happy memories together. A simpler way: burning up your friendship or connections with someone important to you. A warning to anyone: don't do it. You will seriously feel down, and until that person (or even you) has apologized, you'll both feel bad. It emotionally rips you, as a friend will start avoiding you, express anger at you, etc. until you tell them how you're feeling about this.
And don't think this doesn't happen at your school.
It does. It tears people apart.
Maybe some are striking a match, others with a wildfire, while others are completely disconnected.
Rebuilding bridges can take years, yet burning one could just take a day.
A example of burning bridges includes:
Avoiding certain individuals (physically avoiding someone, blocking/not responding to chats over the Internet)
Shouting or expressing anger at you ("I HATE YOU" "STFU" "SHUT UP" "GO AWAY")
Attacking someone physically (hitting, pushing)
Attacking someone mentally (saying nasty things directly to you)
Attacking someone socially (spreading/starting nasty rumors/gossip about you to others)

Infrastructural arson.
"Don't be burning bridges, one day you'll want to cross a river and see a charred hulk of one"
cut off all ties in a relationship
when you burn a bridge you can't cross it again. to burn a bridge means to be completely done with something.
your bridges were burned
and now it's your turn
to cry, cry me a river
