Top answer
I'm selective about whom/who I choose to spend my time with, which makes me distant and seem like a stuck-up person to those outside my circle. Formally "whom" would be correct. However, here I recommend the more everyday "who", as it seems a better fit with the tone of the rest of the sentence.
