@Mosess I had the same sort of awakening when I was 17 (now 21). I had friends which I needed to get rid of just the same is with you. It is all about making choices.
I had to part ways with people so close to me but I had a thought in my mind, "If someone goes from your life, someone who is way better will replace him/her permanently"...
...& that happened I found my wife, who is way better and important than all those people I lost during my awakening.
Do NOT change because of your friends or anyone else you will eventually find people who vibe same as you do.
Hope that makes sense
Much love & Infinite respect to you
