Quality over quantity, perhaps.

Perhaps more meaningful to have just one true friend than a hundred fake ones. Or even none at all, rather than one whom you’d have to compromise yourself for to retain the “friendship.”

And perhaps it’s in setting such standards and backing them by the action of removing those from our lives who don’t align, that we may come more solidly into our true selves - which surely is a prerequisite to attracting/connecting with those whom we are actually on the same frequency with.

Or some shit. Haha.
