Answer 1

I agree in some ways, but IK got friends who i dont even act like at all, i call them aquantances, They are friends , but i dont hang out with them, because i dont approve of there nature or environment, or behavior, soo, but they are considered my friends, i see them, say hi, work with them, and leave, no big deal, dont have their number, dont care, I care if they die or i care if they are lonely or hurt, but other then that, thats it, But i got good good friends who i share everything with

Answer 2

This is true to a degree.  It takes a strong personality not to go with the crown.  Misery loves company, so does mischief, so the pressure can be potent to go along.

How much you act like friends depends on how long you are with them and how close you are to them. Also, if you admire any one friend a lot, that could motivate you to imitate her a lot.

Answer 3

yea people do those sorts of things. but my besties are great. when i don't like someone i just smile or just keep quiet.

Answer 4

Yes, I agree to a point, except that I have always been myself, or instance, say everyone decides they want to get drunk, well I don't, so I don't... I have actually lost "friends" because I wouldn't participate in certain things, but my thing is I guess they weren't my "friends" to begin with, they just wanted someone else to do what they were doing so they wouldn't be so "bad". You have to always think for yourself, don't let anyone do it for you....

Answer 5

no im always me..

Answer 6

yes i agree, you are influenced by your friends and if you are really not like them then you become negative regarding them but when in their company you act like them.

Answer 7

I agree to a certain degree. I believe both family and friends have great influence in how you mature and what kind of Person you become. Though I think you are an individual and to a certain degree you do not follow your friends as it is natural instinct for humans to want to be independent, and so copying and behaving like another being would not allow you to do so.

Though I feel your statement is quite true, the people and company you keep close do have great influence into your own personal behavior.

Answer 8

You are who your friends are. Plain and simple. Not so -called friends mind you. I mean, real friends. But, if and/or when you ever hit rock bottom, which I hope never happens to you, you will learn the sad truth that you really never had any friends at all. And if you are lucky, you might have a family member or two to help you pick up the pieces. Which most times family is no better than friends at the bottom. You know the saying, "It's lonely at the top." Well, trust me, it's even lonelier at the bottom. The great thing is that most people never have to find out what rock bottom is. But, the catch 22 is that the only place you can find a true friend is at rock bottom. But, even then, you realize, it's just you. And that's even worse. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't really matter who your friends are. They won't be there when you really need them anyway.
