RE: Do your friendships add up value to your life?
I like this article. You say, why do we hold onto people in your extended friend group that may be a drain? They are sometimes fun! I think that is the case because for humans to feel whole we connect and develop relationships 150 people or less to feel happy with the self. The old caveman brain has to connect with the other to solidify their own identity.
You have hit the nail on the head! They are fun! They tent to be those friends with whom we go out to parties, fun social events, but when the fun is over you realize you don't have much to share there, it becomes a bit draining and you start avoiding them. Sometimes you have moved on from a, let's call it, 'stage' in your life, or they and things just don't work.
I agree we're social beings, we need interaction, connection, fun, but sometimes we look for it in the wrong places. When we clear that out we create space in our mind for new things as well!
Thanks for your comment and for reading,
Cheers!
