A whole lot of people just don't have great EQ or IQ and they're just frustrating to deal with overall.

I'm not going to continue being friends with people who have are/become more pain than pleasure.

This is two-way street. A friend recently called me out on (to me) benign behavior, which now makes me feel like I have have to walk on egg shells when I interact with them. I am (almost) sure they didn't mean me to take this as seriously as I have, but I feel how this expired has pushed me to the very edge of the campfire and I am thinking about walking over to the next campfire to see how other people are doing.
