Nice day friend, of course it is important to select with whom we relate, but this changes in the stages of our lives, when children we cannot control it and we are affected in a positive or negative way without being able to avoid it, as we grow we can be more selective, our parents said "tell me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are" there is a bit of truth in that, we just have to become more selective with the people we let into our lives.
