I have made too many friends in my school and other schools over the last two years. Now I am in Class XI, and I think it is time to slowly focus on my studies. But this big circle of friends is sometimes becoming a bane. How do I cut down on the number of friends without hurting them?
Whether a big circle of friends is a boon or a bane depends on how you draw your boundaries. Friends form an important part of our growth, and we must learn to nurture relationships. It is very important to not be carried away by others. Staying focused without hurting others’ feelings is very essential. For this, have a clear idea of your goals, values and challenges. An honest and open communication with your friends will help them also understand you without any ambiguity and expectations. Learn to be more assertive – cultivate the habit of saying “no” without being harsh.
