 I’ve gone through this process and it’s better on the other side. It’s ok to let relationships that aren’t serving you drift away.

 What do you think about this concept but with family members? Grown siblings, parents, etc.?

 There is still a part of me from my youth that wants to have a bunch of friends. Be a part of a crew. But that's not really what adult me wants. I feel a little bit of that at bitcoin conferences, which is why I posted this right after Nashville.

Adult me is happy with the handful of friends I have now. The real friends I can talk to about anything.

The reality is it's best to move on from relationships that go nowhere, and feel draining.

 Someone said we only can have a few friends. Aristotle said friendship of virtue is the highest .  I feel as you do
