Distance myself from a friendship group that's become draining

Mid-term — 6 months to 2 years
Context

A group I've been close to for years has drifted in a direction that consistently leaves me feeling worse. The dynamic has shifted — there's more negativity, competition, and less real connection. Pulling back would mean losing people I've known a long time.

Goal

Decide whether creating distance is protecting my energy or just avoiding discomfort I could address directly.
