Keep the friends who make your world bigger, not your worries louder.

Some people hand you things and some people hand you weather. After time with the first kind you know something new, you are half planning a trip, more feels possible than did before. After the second kind you are carrying three of their worries and a new one about yourself. Both can feel like closeness while they are happening.

Think about who you leave a conversation with ideas from, and who you leave with a knot. Nobody has to be cut off over this. Just watch where your hours go, and send more of them toward the people who make the world look bigger.
