The way a person might understand a story or bring it to life.
Answer:
It depends.
Explanation:
If this person is someone who is a toxic person, then yes drop them. But if they aren't and they are genuine good friend, then you should stay with them. If they get too loud (because I suppose that can be bothersome), just ask them to lower their voice and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But otherwise, they are a good friend and don't get peer pressured to losing this good friend.
At least, that's what I think.
Proper Punctuation would be most likely to help.
