Time is your most precious gift and your most valuable resource on Earth. Use it well. If you must cut out negative people and time wasters from your life, so be it. You are the CEO of your time. Hire and fire accordingly and do it without feeling guilty.   If they meet you and ask you why they don't see you again, you don't even have to respond. You don't owe anyone friendship, companionship or conversation. Don't waste precious time on devious people. Do with your time what brings you closer to your life goals and adds value to you. God did not create you to live up to other people's expectations.
