Mike Andes keeps a small circle of deep relationships he genuinely cares for and skips events he doesn't want to attend, accepting judgment rather than bending to others' expectations.
I probably don't want to invest my time or energy into the relationship. If you're going to judge me based upon me doing something only to satisfy the way you feel about me. I would rather have a handful of very deep, meaningful relationships that I feel responsible for, loved, and cared for. They are a priority to me instead of like hundreds. When it comes to events, one thing you can say is like, I will not be there. And then if they judge me on the fact that I do not want to be there, it's simply a matter of.
