Are / were they really 'friends' though if doing so obliterated your connections? Most people tend to misclassify being friends with being open & friendly with another.
Yea, my “true” friends will contact me anywhere, but it’s nice to have a small network of people I know that I can invite to stuff or even better yet invite me to events and activities. They may also become close friends at some point.
Internet misanthropes contributing to the trend for people to lose friends and acquaintances as they age.
A friend recently deleted all his apps and he asks me I just email him if I want to talk. I'm just not gonna do that. I barely remember to email my work people.
Interesting point.

Oh. You have zero self-awareness. Got it.
Since you can't figure it out yourself -- you are doing that first thing in that second thing. Your poor friend.
Not wanting to jump through hoops for someone you don't necessarily care that much about ain't 'zero self awareness'
It helps me trim down 'friends' who might not be real friends.
I tend not to be the person who tends to bother other people constantly even after getting signals that they don't want to interact with you. Are you?
That's something this strategy helps to trim out. Who I want to talk to and jump through hoops for, and whom I don't.
If you put them below “work people”, they’re not a friend. Or rather, you’re not a friend.
