Are / were they really 'friends' though if doing so obliterated your connections? Most people tend to misclassify being friends with being open & friendly with another.
There’s nothing wrong with having acquaintances that aren’t close friends though. I always see this argument and don’t get it.
Yea, my “true” friends will contact me anywhere, but it’s nice to have a small network of people I know that I can invite to stuff or even better yet invite me to events and activities. They may also become close friends at some point.
Yes. Putting people through hoops and then going "were we really friends if you didn't do it for me, huh, HUUUUH?" is a "I'm the main character" mindset.
A friend recently deleted all his apps and he asks me I just email him if I want to talk. I'm just not gonna do that. I barely remember to email my work people.

Interesting point.

Oh. You have zero self-awareness. Got it.
Since you can't figure it out yourself -- you are doing that first thing in that second thing. Your poor friend.

If you put them below “work people”, they’re not a friend. Or rather, you’re not a friend.
Ah yeah man totally wanting to jump through hoops (email was just an example), installing shit like wechat, kik, tiktok etc is the same thing) totally makes me the 'main character.'
That's something this strategy helps to trim out. Who I want to talk to and jump through hoops for, and whom I don't.
