I'm going to cut out close friends entirely
Are  you having trouble with your friends?
Yes, my friends make me feel bad and I can't handle their comments about my family.
Family can be troublesome but it is better to work things out rather than to cut off contact. You might regret not having them in your life.
No, I'm going to take a big stand this time and feel better about my decision.
I am sorry you feel that this is the only way to proceed. I hope you reconsider and actually talk to them about what is bothering you.
