I disagree that staying away from people who don't make you feel good is the same thing as belittling them, it's more a matter of taste. Why eat food that doesn't taste good/make you feel good? Why watch movies that frighten you/don't make you feel good? It's not the same as judging them.
I didn't mean distancing myself as belittling them, but more the fact that I do tend to speak badly of them. Slagging them off a little. That is something that I would like to stop doing, well lessen at least. I hope you are well @owasco xx xxx
