How do I get my friend to stop hanging out with other friends?
<|assistant|>
Firstly, make sure you are saying something constructive rather than judgmental. Ask your friend why they are hanging out with those friends and try to understand their perspective. Encourage your friend to be open and honest with those friends and let them know what they are gaining and losing in the process. Additionally, you could suggest different activities that the whole group of friends can do together, or look for alternative groups of friends that your friend could join. Lastly, you could also suggest that your friend takes a break from the group so that they can focus on other areas of their life.
