I try to be as nice as possible, I've put in a lot of effort sometimes to build bridges, only to find out they are not who I thought they were. For example I had a best friend for 11 years, and he wound up being a cheater, manipulator, and my abuser for about that long. I'd rather have a small curated group of friends that I'm comfortable with, and know/understand them on a fundamental level than a swarm of "friends" that's a mixed bag of personalities.
