This can apply to an individual, but isn't generally true. Close 5 awesome doors, but open two that match you at that point. Alienating people is never, ever an option to consider - there can be exceptions, of course - if there isn't honesty, or the person drools on your floor and throws fecal matter on your wall.
"I am you and what I see is me."
Your personality is reflected through other people. You are a true friend, a helpful person with cool ideas, the other person will follow along, usually. I'll scratch your back and you'll scratch mine.
What can be wrong with having everyone as a friend and helping and get helped by the ones that stick over the years?
Personally, I watch it for subtle stuff, great scenes and the main plot(this can be annoying as episodes can end with unexpected cliffhangers).
Give it a try if it steers up your curiosity and you like the style.
The plot changes gradually, unpredictable, and awesome in my opinion.
