I don't think you should hang on to someone for fear of being alone. I think this is a case of isolation being the better good.
But, I'm pretty sure you don't have to let everyone go. Cutting one person away doesn't mean you have to rid yourself of all of them. Are there some you could simply distance yourself a little away from? Continue a relationship as an aquaintance?

Intuition - yes! That's what this is about.
I cross paths with a certain group of friends from time to time and everytime someone mentions that one particular ex-friend/aquaintance (the one who shut me out), it just hurts. But I guess they are all more aquaintances than friends, so it might be ok.
The one friend who has been so aggressive and condescending lives far away, so I can transform that into a postcard-person. And the third just went to London for a year, so that makes this one easy.
I think I can focus on the few people I have left now and hope that others will come. There are two potential new friends in the picture from my literature studies and my creative writing class, and for now maybe I can even enjoy a little me-time with less drama, and without being afraid of loneliness or isolation. And since I live in Europe and we have all these refugees coming towards our countries, there is a lot of new friend potential here. Maybe I can do some work in that direction I thought
