You don’t need to lower your standards. You have rights to have friends who meet your standards.

Yet you continue befriending people who don’t meet your standards, according to you they are rude selfish self absorbed liars dishonest people pleasers passive aggressive disrespectful. List goes on.

If you have high standards, there’s zero reason to befriend people who don’t meet those standards. I don’t understand the need to befriend such wrong people, but then confront them and demand they change how they do things. I’d rather people hang out with me because we click and they like me, not because they are afraid of me being angry and confronting them. I’d feel very awkward if it had to take a confrontation and arguments to get a friend to spend time with me. I don’t think I’d enjoy it.

Why not look for people who meet your standards from the get go. It’s too much drama otherwise.
