Part One: Disconnect from negative people and toxic friendships.

This didn't necessarily mean stop talking to people, it just meant prioritising who I spent my time with.

This was hard for me because I tend to spend a lot of time in toxic friendships simply because I am a social person and prefer being around people than being alone. I have learned much more now to enjoy my own company.

Part Two: Make more friends

This just involved a little extra effort. Try to talk more with that friend's girlfriend who everyone knows is a little shy. Invest more time and money in those that matter.
