It's not necessary to embrace a new circle in new year

Humans are social beings, and they cannot live alone; it doesn't matter if a person is an introvert or an extrovert. Many people think that introverted people don't need any friends, but it's not the truth. They also need friends, but they have friends who have the same mentality as them. Maybe it's their preference while making friends. We are surrounded by different types of people, and many of us enjoy it a lot. But again, some people think about it differently; they want to spend most of the time alone.

It is not necessary that everyone around us be good people, and not all of them are well-wishers either. I think it's just a matter of time before we can realize who our well-wishers are and who are not. We can't understand it through their actions or behaviors towards us, no matter how much they try to hide their true motive. It is good to let them go from our lives because they try to hold us back with them. Even some of them are so insane that they are ready to hold back others, even if it also brings loss for them. So getting rid of them is very much necessary.

I am very picky when it comes to making friends, and I think that almost all of my friends were chosen or made after confirming many things. Instead of it, there can be an error, and among many friends, there was a friend with whom I am cutting off my connection this year. Let me share why.

I have a friend who used to be my partner while travelling, and before the time of the pandemic, everything seemed well and fine, or you could say I didn't notice anything unusual. But later I noticed that he is getting jealous of me, and sometimes he can't hold himself back and speaks up about many things to humiliate me. At the beginning, I thought it was maybe because of his anger, but later I understood that it was coming from jealousy. I used to take the top position, and when it came to results, he wanted to be better than me. I never saw him as a competitor, but from his side, it was not the same. Suppose he is learning some skills; he used to hide them from me as long as possible. He treated me like I would snatch his skills if I knew them. Such a kind of mentality is ok for little kids, but he might forget that we were at the university level, and this kind of mentality is very cheap or narrow-minded.

I think it's not a crime to be better when it comes to education or skills. And it's nothing for which I should feel bad. I was better in the exam, earning good grades from both online and offline, and being friendly with most of my classmates somehow made him feel low. I realized such behavior 2 years ago, but I didn't want to end the friendship badly. So I just kept quiet and pretended to remain friendly even if I stopped thinking of him as a friend. Last year, my post-graduation ended, and from now on, we will not meet each other, and naturally, he is the first one whom I will eliminate from my life this year.

Only he is the person whom I want to cut off from my life this year. In the case of others, I may choose to cut off some relatives also this year, but I think it's not possible, as they are relatives, and unless something extreme happens, I can't eliminate them from my life either. I don't want to have a new circle as it will take a good amount of time to find people. But I won't mind if some good people enter my life this year.
