I totally get this. Such people are toxic and draining and keeping them around leaves no room for the type of people who will feed your soul. Gossipy materialists may grow up or get deeper but I don't stick around to wait for it.
Before I started therapy, I had quality friends. But I kept toxic dysfunctional family members around with some hope that they'd change.
You will attract good people! I've found that outdoorsy people can sometimes be a good place to start, as a passion for the outdoors can filter out the sort of person who wastes time talking negatively about other people.
There are MeetUp groups and other online venues to find such people!

Your therapy seems to be working to help you have more fulfilling relationships!
