Let's face it. We're growing older each day, and we don't have much time or energy to accommodate unnecessary BS from people.
If you want to live a successful life, then your level of sanity really matters and it is very advisable to cut off relationships that make you feel any less sane.
I'm sorry if my tone might be a bit harsh but I hope it's harsh enough to get you to act-like now.
I believe that you deserve to be treated like the wonderful person you are and as such you need to get rid of anyone who makes you feel uder-appreciated, taken advantage of, or even worse abused.
Absolutely, get rid of these kinds of friends if you wanna have a peace of mind:
*Friend#1- The opportunist
It's great to help friends. I mean friendships are built on helping each other right. But, if you notice that your not-so-financially-stable friend only comes around in order to borrow some cash or clothes or your car... You should definitely run before you run out of cash.
*Friend#2- The friend who makes you feel like trash
You shouldn't rely on people to feel good about yourself; likewise should you not rely on people to make you feel bad about yourself. Whenever you notice that your friend always makes you feel self-conscious and inadequate when you're with them, you might be falling victim to a fake friend. A true friend loves you for who you are.
*Friend#3- The Crazy friend who encourages you to make bad decisions
Yes, everyone loves the "crazy friend"...They're unpredictable and they make you feel alive and that's great. But be careful to draw the line between a 'good crazy friend' and a life wrecker.
*Friend # 4- The Busy Friend
You're the one who is constantly trying to keep the friendship going. You call and text to hangout each time and when they do answer your calls(which hardly happens) it feels like a favour. You may be getting replies like "Yeah, I guess dinner works for me. But I'm gonna be late. Oh and I need to leave early too, is that okay?, after several attempts. Please move on, they don't value you!
*Friend#5- The selfish, always-in-some-kinda-trouble friend
This is the friend that makes everything about them. Even when you have a problem and share with them, they turn it around so they point to their own problems. You'll never have peace with this one because they constantly expect you to fix their situation and don't really care about your own problems. They're good at forgetting important events in your life and somehow blame it on their issues and how you have not had enough attention for them.
The list might not include all the kinds you know, I would really like for you to comment if you have observed any annoying behaviours you shouldn't put up with.
I leave you with this, the Bible states in Proverbs 18:24 that,
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Life is too short to stick around with just anyone. Choose your friends wisely!

The busy friends I tend to respect more, but only if they're working on their own business. There are times when I have things to share or projects to work on that may need helpers, yet certain people are busy with their "9-to-5 Monday-Friday and sleep on the weekends" life to even respond in a certain about of time.
That's true...People can get truly busy. But everyone makes time for the people and things they value..
