I’m maybe the wrong person to comment on this but I do keep my world pretty close to me these days, family, couple of dear friends. Sure, have more friends but keep expectations down, a lot of people are almost entirely self motivated in my experience- even the otherwise nice ones, in fact I think our cultures encourage it. That’s my take. Maybe I’m pessimistic, some might say, I feel I’m more realistic.

Nothing wrong in keeping your world a bit smaller for a while, nurture who and what you have true connections with. Just my take.
