This is true back in high school if I wasn’t at football practice or making runs with my uncle me and the guys in the summer would chill at the park or sit our chairs on the corner chilling during the day and go to a house party at night i I noticed
My younger cousins who are between 14 and 18 don’t do shyt but be on social media and play the game online with their friends no party’s, no meet ups or anything it’s kinda sad

Just gotta have friends that evolve with your purpose. If they bringing up shıt, 20, 30 years ago, you gotta limit yourself.

Up until a few years ago I've had a pretty solid/close group of friends.
Basically from that point I realized nobody will have your back unconditionally like family will. My skills and my family are all I really need.
It's funny, but Tyrese actually had a stream about 10 years ago where he pointed out that your friends probably stress you out more than you realize and that you really need to keep your distance or cut them entirely. That you're basically signing up to put up with a bunch of mentally-taxing BS when you meet up with them. Dude wasn't lying.
Even applies to friends you consider A1 or everyone considers "good people".
Some people literally have friends to have friends but it's hurting them more than contributing to them.

No matter how you feel about him, I applied this advice for nearly the last 10 years and it's paid off tremendously.
If you really take some extra time to analyze things about your friends you may be surprised how much they're brining you down while boosting themselves up. At the end of the day, a lot of people not going to have much to show for after their friendships because friends were basically in it for themselves.
A lot of friends are neutral (still a time sink because you're not building yourself during time spent here).
Very few friends/people out there are going to be good friends that will be directly responsible for your growth as a person.
Everyone thinks they got one or a few of those
I really consider you look closer.
If I took away all the time I spent with my friends and focused on myself instead
that was the realization for me.
First I stopped going out one weekend so I can learn to code, then did it another weekend, then another, etc. Eventually friends stopped calling and I really got to focusing.
Years later: BSCS, great job in tech, about to start a another degree is STEM, etc.
Meanwhile, while my friends aren't doing bad, they never leveled up. I catch up with them every now-and-then and it ain't the same because I'm "out the loop" but I'm much better off for it. Hearing about everything, I'm glad I chose the route I did.

If you really want to know who's a real friend, honestly try making music or do something creative. Try something that seems far-fetched.
It's like Rick Ross said, if you got friends like that they'd get your back.
When I saw strangers from music-making or art circles support me more than my friends, I knew right then all I needed to know.
My beats weren't the best when I started and no friends supported that shyt.
Random-ass people online were though and actually encouraged me to get better.
Eventually some really dope producers, some producers who I looked up to heard it and actually liked it.
Zero help from friends, but strangers and family were there. Even my girl's friends were more supportive.
That was basically one of the first signs and why it was an easy decision to let them go when I decided to do something for myself.

All these families with only 1 child is also a contributing factor, I think. You get built in socialization with your brothers and sisters, and you can use each other's networks also.
