You are who you hang out with

[btownbuck2012]

This post doesn’t have a damn thing to do with women but it’s important.


Bros,

Do you have a “friend” who is constantly getting under your skin? Does this person act immaturely and even rude towards other people and you? Maybe it’s gotten so bad that the mere thought of this person causes you to become irritated. If so then you need to ask yourself one question…..WHY ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH THIS PERSON?!

Your friends should consist of high quality people not morons. Just as you shouldn’t have to settle for a below average girlfriend you shouldn’t have to settle for a below average friend. Now there’s a difference between the loveable sidekick type and the downright piece of sh*t. The type of person you want to stay away from usually has the following traits:

-Usually the joke of the group (not just the joke but ALWAYS getting made fun of. Either to their face or behind their back.
-Reminds you, and does it often, of how much you owe them…. “You got that $1 you owe me?”
-Always see’s the glass as half empty
-Doesn’t strive to improve themselves
-What’s in it for me type of attitude
-You can feel it in your gut. You just don’t trust this person.

You get the picture. After reading that most of you are probably thinking well duh! Who would want to call someone like that a friend! However some guys do find themselves surrounded with these types of people and don’t ever do anything about it. The sad thing is that after a while these types of individuals can actually affect YOUR quality of life. Your #1 goal should be to become the best man you can be. You can’t do that by surrounding yourself with IDIOTS.


…and remember

Right on man.

 

[guywhoneedshelp]

I only let cool, attractive people into my world.

“You got that $1 you owe me?”

Times are really hard for some LOL...

 

[Jaggs]

Yeah man this is %100 true. I used to do this, but one day realized how stupid it is. Why EVER associate with someone you don't like? Fvck them! Being around negative people has a negative effect on you

There are much cooler people around

 

[loving]

also you gotta wanna be there. and wanna participte in whats going on.

i would rather be alone than in the company of concededness and egocentricism

idiots are another story because i would not hang out with them by choice but have noproblem communicating with them if i hadve to.

those two traits above however make it so that no new information can comein and old nasty habits persist, people who make me unhappy and others as well, can see that and do not care because they 'are who they are' and do not realize that how negative they really feel is pushed onto others because of this excuse are perhaps the only homans i will not be with.

Usually the joke of the group (not just the joke but ALWAYS getting made fun of. Either to their face or behind their back

This isnt a character trait of your friend, its a character trait of you or the group you hang out with. Why would you consider someone who you make fun of(behind his back) a friend?

 

[btownbuck2012]

Scottfall, that's the point of the post bud.

 

[Evzone]

I agree with the poster entirely.

It's important to point out also, this works positively as well. If you're hanging out with people that are driven, motivated, and have passion and charisma, you will acquire these traits as well.

I Agree with the subject

I myself have had a friend,who i have had some good times with,we been friends for over 2 years and i notice that,this guy all he wants to do is live a easy lifestyle after getting laid off from a management position,which he did not take very serious and keeps blaming others for.He doesnt want to do ****,and when i comes to looking for work he wants to be picky and find a good paying job without working hard for it,personally if i was in his shoes,which i being in.Wouldent care what job i get as long it would get my on my feet,but no hes doesnt want to go back to school and get himself a part time job.His modo on life is Qoute "i just want to get by" as i heard him tell one of my other friends.This guy has no ambition,no goals,all he wants to do is party.So I have made a decision to get away from the guy,hes actually 32 years old and im 22years old and im the one giving him advice and help,fak that man its time to fly with the eagles,cause i aint no barnyarn chicken.By the way if you guys would like to share ur view on this please feel free.

 

[SomethingClever]

Yeah, i completely agree. My bestfriend and i keep pointing out that we're surrounded by weak people and that we need cooler people to hang out with. But for some reason, it's kinda hard for us to find cool people. Although, he kind of made a point saying that me and him are the cool people that bring these weak people up and that's probably why we can't find cool people to hang out with. I don't know

 

[Aragon034]

adamant believer in this.

at my peak in highschool, i was hanging out with about 50 different people during the course of the week. All "Friends".

Right now, after learning alot of hard lessons, choosing who i want to call friend, i have 3 people i would call "Friend" and mean it. and another 20-60 i would hang out with if the occasion occured. very few from my highschool days. this isn't counting all the casual aquaintances i've made (more than 100)

On the specific note of 'friends' who bring you down. i had one, he was actually my breaking point when i started to improve myself. little dip**** tried to call me out on EVERYTHING, what i wore, what i said, hell even where i went and eventually we came to blows over it. now i realise that he was trying to keep me at his level and even though he won a victory with getting me violent, he lost the war since he's still a virgin at 22, hell i don't think he's kissed a girl while sober.

He's still on my facebook because he's 'friendly' with one of my true friends, we don't talk much but you can see the stark difference between me and him after our blowup. I'm almost 22 with no problems with getting women, about to start working in a very high paying industry (which i love), and my reputation is solid.

He on the other hand, hasn't grown much at all, he's still in college for social work, drinks like a fish, is obsessed with comedy shows like "trailer park boys" and has the same 4 friends since highschool. all of them fat or dorky.

Stay away from these 'friends' people. They're the Kyptonite to our Superman!

 

[daygameguy]

I find myself walking alone a lot of times because I don't wanna tweek my personality down and degrade my social self to be with my peers.

Sometimes it is difficult, especially in high school and college scenarios, to choose your own group, and live or interact only with people who meet your standards well. Which is why we should get on this journey to "Build A Life."

Here are some treasured quotes from my roommate (a fvcking retard):

"Dude you are blocking the sink. Throw your food in the trash bin."

"You broke my bike paddel."

"I don't have cash. I will write you a check for those 4 dollars."

"Its your turn to post the electricity bill."

"Dude don't use my frying pan."

nice post btown.

Jesus picked friends people would consider "losers". Fishermen, tax collectors and even a prostitute. He chose the weak to shame the mighty. Those friends of His influenced and impacted history and civilization, Kings and nations, even to this very day.

Yes, choose your friends wisely, but be careful to think you're superior because you strive for material possesions this culture portrays as "success" when it's only an illusion that can make you crash and burn when you lose it all.

Don juan is a mind set of love, hating will only hinder your progress.

God Bless

 

[facadegeniality]

what makes u think cool people wanna hang out with you?

 

[alnite]

I have heard about this, but I always believe that it's never been a good idea to dump your friends. Certainly, don't hang out with them all the time if they make you depressed, or you have opposing views. Make new friends always, but don't forget your old ones. Keep your social circle wide.

The bible's a story not a record..

 

[jacob]

HAHA



The bible's a story not a record..

It's documented human history. You can trace an unbroken line from pope Benedict the XVI all the way back to the first pope and one of the 12 apostles Peter.

The Vatican has a library that has miles of ancient documents and letters of biographies of people that have influenced humanity, civilization and the church throughout history .

Infact many of the books in the gospels are letters to the early Catholic Churches like in Corinth, Ephesus, Galtia, Romans, and if you know your history, those were and still are real places.

The Catholic Church is the oldest and only institution that has a documented continous, unbroken witness of more than 2000 years of human history. She knows the human condition and put together the documents and books that we call the Bible today and has claimed them to be the inspired word of God.

You believe in a man Abraham Lincoln not because you met him but because of written documentation.

And chics dig when you know you're history especially if it has to do with the divine. It seperates you from the carbon copy children of the age that we live. They want to be taken to a higher level. That brings them full circle back to thier roots.

Amen.

No you can't. You're taking the BIBLE, and adding stuff to it! Is the bible what you believe or other texts written after it? Do you believe what Jesus said or what the people after him said?

The Vatican has a library that has miles of ancient documents and letters of biographies of people that have influenced humanity, civilization and the church throughout history .

Does that include a detailed account of the Inquisition? or the Crusades?

Infact many of the books in the gospels are letters to the early Catholic Churches like in Corinth, Ephesus, Galtia, Romans, and if you know your history, those were and still are real places.

Yes, in the bible, where in any of those letters does any of the current belief system of the Catholic church arise? Mention me one passage that says we should pray to the saints, or mary, or confess using rosaries... etc etc...

I have a question for you Jacob, have you actually read the bible? No seriously, Have you actually sat down and read it? More so, have you interpreted it? Have you deciphered what the words and passages mean to YOU? instead of what a priest tells you?
