I have higher standards of friendship
What higher standards are looking for in a friendship?
I value my friendships and want others to value my friendship also.
Being a good friend means accepting your friends for who they are and what they have to offer. Setting your standards to high will push people away and cause them to feel like they are not good enough.
I don't care, I'm just looking to keep my circle tight.
I am not sure if you call that as friendship. The more you control it, the more you will loose control of it.
