I understand that you mean @ronimarie82. You have to do what is best for your peace of mind. True friends are ones who can come to you with an issue that won't leave you stressed.

I feel the same way. I used to have a temper as a young adult. During arguments, I'd slam doors and scream to get my point across. I'd never back down or compromise IF I felt I was right. Those actions were counterproductive and didn't solve anything. Now, I'm calmer and go about things differently. There are still issues to be resolved, and haven't tackled them all, but I choose which ones are important and work on them. And I stay away from external stressors, be it family or friends.
