Not them, but can relate. I dwell on the asymmetrical nature a bit. Relationships take more than they provide.

It's certainly an indication that I should maintain better relationships... but it's vastly easier to keep them minimal.

I hear people now: "but opportunities!". Can't miss what you already have.

To know I have a friend (of a certain class, at least) I have to be ready to effectively double the size of my life. It's already been pretty overwhelming. Different types of resilience involved or being developed

Back on topic: I find it's less about the people and more... everything in between. The act of sorting; rarely worth the effort. Manufacturing productive business relationships has been far simpler than personal. Where some find benefit joining them... I actually enjoy space between.
