There's a saying that goes something along the lines of... you are the conglomeration of your 5 closest friends.
That means:
💜 if they have great relationships... it's likely you will too.
💜 if they have financial abundance... it's likely you will too.
💜 if they have great health... it's likely you will too.

And if you don't now... you'll either grow into it... or you'll end up leaving the group. Your beliefs, energy, willingness to take action just won't match.
With that in mind... I'll go one level deeper... do you like who you are around these people?
This is the thing... sometimes we get around those playing at a higher level and we twist and contort to be who we think we need to be in order for them to like us.
❤️ Sometimes you genuinely are interested in the under water basket weaving art form! Sometimes you'll act as if you're interested even when you're not... just so they'll like you.
❤️ Sometimes you genuinely aren't bothered by the fact they don't return your phone calls. Sometimes you'll act as if it's ok even though you're deeply hurt... just so they'll like you.
❤️ Sometimes you genuinely like mexichinasushian food! Sometimes you'll act as if like mexichinasushian food ... just so they'll like you.
❤️ Sometimes you are genuinely ok with being submissive, dismissive, complacent, indecisive or any other trait you normally wouldn't care for... sometimes you allow yourself to be that person... just so they'll like you.

The sneaky part here is that it's not always an overt choice you're making. I've seen it happen little by little... over the life of a friendship... where small things are excused or explained away.... that lead to bigger and bigger offenses... until eventually you don't even recognize yourself around this person. Worse yet... you might not like this person you've become around them at all.
Surround yourself with people that call out the BEST and GREATEST parts of yourself to come forward. People that lift you up... that call you to play at a higher level with your INTEGRITY and VALUES in tact.
If that's not there... hmmmmm... I wonder what it could be like if they did?! Just sayin....
