This year, take the radical step of identifying the people in your life who are problem-heavy. People for whom most exchanges with you present as an opportunity to discuss problems they have no real intention of fixing. People who cannot see you clearly through their own looping story of self-pity. Stand strong in the knowledge that the problems you have are being worked on, and shared with a select few for whom the exchange of growth and recognition is mutual. Take less comfort in company that allows you to stay hidden. Company so self-indulgent that it asks you no questions, unless there is a route back to itself. This year, make room for those who know your worth and respect your time.
