At some point it's okay to realize that keeping people in your life who aren't on the same page as you all of the time is healthy and okay.
If you don't talk to someone a lot, or like them a lot. it's okay to still consider them a friend or even an acquaintance while still keeping the close people close.
I've grown up in an online space that encouraged leaving anyone and everyone who wasn't 100% who you'd consider a best friend or 100% 'reliable' / pure / etc.
no . I love jerry who i've only spoke to like 3 times and who always makes me go "what the fuck at least I don't hang around him too much." because he's jerry. He doesn't expect much from me I don't expect much from him. But he's in my life and that's what makes life good. a variety of people. like yeah leave the people who overstep your boundaries or make you majorly uncomfortable - but not every little quirk that annoys you occasionally with someone makes them a bad person. fucking love people and let a lot of people into your life, no matter how mundane of interactions you may have.
My mom taught me this! "You have lots of different friends for lots of different reasons." Her friend who she talks about deep things with ISN'T her friend who runs businesses with her who ALSO ISN'T her friend who invites her to parties. Once you realize one person doesn't have to be your %100, you can start appreciating people for what they DO bring to your life
