There’s absolutely no reason you should be in a relationship only to please them. It’s not required, even if you were completely mentally healthy etc. If you feel ready later, and actually want to, then that’s fine. But I strongly object to the whole “expectation” that anyone must be in a relationship, for any reason.
As for the other question... what do they bring to your life? It’s up to you if you want to cut ties, depends how much you value them as friends? Would you be happier without all/some of them in your life? You don’t need to answer these, just things to consider!
