focusing on myself

i'm focusing on myself. i know what everyone says about new years resolutions but i'm really trying to focus on myself. i'm seriously trying to focus on myself. 1 of my best friends who is married knows my friend who likes me wants to protect me. while that's nice i need to breathe. i'm still eager to become his best friend. while he and i already ARE friends his overprotectiveness leads me to being suffocated.
