Happy people are great relationship gatekeepers. They are good friends, but only to good friends. They don’t measure the quality of their relationship experience by the number of people in their lives. They carefully select their relationships. They don’t associate with destructive or self-centered people. They walk away from negative attitudes and toxic mentalities. They don’t fall prey to abusive associations. Happy people don’t see this choice of relative exclusivity as being selfish, but as self-preserving.
