I know the term "finding balance" is probably overused... that said, I don't think being too extremely one way or the other is healthy, in the long run. Especially if it's an artificial construct designed to gloss over deeper problems we're avoiding taking a look at.
I guess I just get tired of the lack of sincerity/authenticity over time... and if that means unfriending someone, so be it.
Same here man. My mom told me before that, as we grow older, we have lesser friends. But those are rock-solid quality friends. I guess I'm slowing living her lesson, haha.
