It's difficult losing friends. We look back on the good times and feel remorse that no more may be shared with them.

With that said, you can still be friends, but simply avoid the activities you have no desire to participate in, or the good sense to avoid. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation.

However, if they are cruel to you, or unsupportive, you ought to make room in your life for other people who will be more beneficial for you.

And you always have your Steemit Community on your side. 😊
