I have friends that are complete shit but I have known them from an early age, They are not who I am but I will be there to lend a helping hand if they need it. I know they would not do the same. It does not matter to me. I would not say they are a reflection of me, just a part of my past I grew out of. I would not be who I am today without my past.
No one has all the answers but I disagree with the idea that who you know and hang out with have any reflection on who you are. Do we look down on someone like Jesus for hanging out with a whore? (I'm not religious) No, because they are an individual and to hold others for actions they have not committed themselves is wrong.
IMO at least
Thank you for the response, sorry if I came off like an asshole.
Nah - it's fine. Everyone has an opinion and I respect that! I could tell in your writing that you were open to suggestion. I'm good at that lol.
Although what I said is for current and recent friends - most of my friends are recent because of who I am.
I completely agree with you - I have the same friends. And, yep, I still help them out too. I have friends that have stuck with me since I was 7 years old - and I for one know how hard it is to change, and if they're willing to still be there, then I'll be there too.
Most of my friends dropped away because they couldn't bear me feeling better about myself - in truth I was there to make them feel better and not much else. And, the same way why I hung around with them. Haha.
So no judging from me - My writing is to try and get people to reflect upon themselves. It's not an outward journey with me, it's an inward journey :)
Yeah I had some cancer friends at one time too. lol They were only happy when I was miserable.
I guess it is a little true. hang out with negative people negative stuff happens, positive people and positive stuff. I will have to think about it more. 8D
Thanks 4 the new perspective.
