To hang with him or not to hang with him. Thats the question.?

Question

Ok, i've been friends with this kid for a long time (3 years or so), but im told that he "changes me" (like i act meaner and more uptight when i'm around him)...but the only reason i hang out with him is because he basically had my back and stopped some 10 people from beating me up and picking on me throughout elementary school/middle school...should i continue to hang with him? I feel like i owe him cuz i eventually made friends with some of these people and they havent picked on me sence....

sorry its long and confusing ;)

Answer 1

if you're okay with being uptight and meaner then does it matter? as long as you have other friends its always okay to have other different friends. But i guess don't be meaner/uptight when you're not around him, or too uptight as people will start to get a bad impression of you. that your a copycat of that whoever guy.

Answer 2

Hey, I have a friend doing the same thing as you. He has only been my friend for about a year and is starting to get on my nerves. I would continue to hang out with him because he seems nice. But you should defenetly change into a nicer person.  

Answer 3

dont worry, its not long or confusing at all.

you should see my questions, theyre wayyyyyyy longer.

you should hang out with him if YOU like him as the person he is. if i were you i would be friends w/ him, he sounds like your homeboy, someone whos always gonna be there for you. you may seem to act uptight or meaner around him if you feel like hes more popular or cooler than you and if you have to live up to his standards.

i say you should be friends with him, he sounds like a good friend, just dont think hes too cool for you or anything.
