I believe that even if we only meet someone for a few minutes, there is always a reason or purpose for it. They are either there to take from what we have, to add to us, or to simply be there whether we progress or not.
For whatever reason, I try to pick my friends carefully and keep certain people away from me before I call them friends. If we don't do anything together that involves building, helping each other, or making memories, you might just be a classmate, a church acquaintance, or a Hive acquaintance. I may know you or have your contact information, but that does not make us friends, only acquaintances.
When I meet new people, I analyze them and ask myself the following questions:
- Would I be impacting their lives?
- Would they be impacting mine?
- What foundation would these relationships be built on?
These are the reasons why people who eventually become close to me testify that I have impacted their lives in some way or another, or have chosen to be impacted by them. I enjoy being around people who are hungry for progress, who take life seriously, and who work hard to improve their situation. This is because I have these characteristics, and having people with similar characteristics keeps me from straying from them.
In another case, if I come to make friends with people on whom I believe I can have an impact or assist them in finding direction in their lives, I always do my best to assist and encourage the person on the condition that the person also wishes to improve their life or find a focus in theirs.
When I see a zeal for growth and progress, I am encouraged to do more but when I see that most of the effort comes from me as it is more like I am pushing the person without their will to, then I back out of the friendship. This doesn't mean I would not greet the person if I see the person, or means I would snub the person if I see the person, only just that I would not choose to spend my time on such a person on a normal day.
Recently, I have been encountering these types of people who I feel like I could help grow, but I don't see them wanting to put forth the zeal or sacrifice. I have tried to make some sacrifices by my side to support them, but they still seem to take my efforts for granted. It hurts, but there's nothing more I can do.
By the way, I appreciate the friends I already have. The connections I've made in the past and the ones I currently have helped shape who I am today and what I might become in the future.
A word of advice: study the people who come close to you and determine the type of people they are; if they are those who don't care about anything that happens to you or take from you without contributing anything, I must say that it is okay to cut them out of your life.
That's all for now... Signing out β...

We can summarize these 3 sets of people to be the;
But I think it can get complicated sometimes when you know clearly that there's possibly something very important you could gain from the fellow but he is only interested in taking away from you.
But whichever way.. it's ideal to categorize everyone you come across to these category of people.
You have summarized it very well. Indeed there are surely going to be some special cases and that is when we need to pray, hehe.
Yeah that's true.
But some people don't really believe in prayers oo.. what would one do in such a case?
Those that don't believe in prayers will have to believe in something, they should go to that thing, lolz.
That's true.. everyone goes to what they believe in. ππ
That's it oo, so I think for some that might not believe in anything, I think they will have to do things they way they feel and accept whatever results they get, whether good or bad.
You've said well ππ
Kudos to you Hope π
I love the name description you gave, this perfectly describes the categories I mentioned.
it is very simple, if he is interested in learning from me, then he can only get anything from me if he is willingly to open up.
I think that's good. The willingness will judge.
QED! ππ
You have really said well, these are the 3 categories of people in life and which we want for ourselves is what we would follow
Yeah.. study then follow the categories you want for yourself.. that is paramount!
Yeah it is, so that one won't fall into the wrong people
Indeed there are different types of people and we just have to be very careful when choosing who we call friends. You have given very useful tips to help us know the different kinds of people that are around us.
This topic was really for me because I easily welcome people in, although I'm bot scared they will hurt me, I'm more concerned about me not being who they thought I was. Well, the message is gotten and noted sir, thank you for sharing π.
Just like you, I am jovial, I am an easy going person and seem to be friendly to anyone or to get close to but I have come to learn to study people and try to know their category. It is important so that we don't bring people who would lead us astray close.
That's right, I will have to learn that too. It's a good thing you shared the idea with us if not I wouldn't have thought about it this much.
I am glad I did.
This is really nice. There is a lot people with different characters and perceptive, we just have to choose the one that is best for us.
This is an educating write up. Thanks for the reminder π
Yes we really do. Our future depends on it.
