You bring up some good points and I agree with curating friends

but

I guess what i'm thinking is this is more of a societal problem - where people don't value friendships like they use too probably due to many reasons like

- the system we live in is high time preference

- people work too much

- social media and netflix

while curating friends can help fix this to a degree maybe...... in my experience it seems rather hopeless as people rather relationships that are via text and superficial.

maybe because people are mentally drained from their stressful lives?

anyhow, i guess maybe what im wondering is - is this common where your at?
