I don't agree. My friends when I was younger were pretty useless when it came to lifeskills and ambition. Im pretty sure the last I heard, one went to prison and another one still loves at home with his parents in his 40s. Another one I think joined the air force which was good but our other friend I think bounced between partners for a long while until settling down in her late 30s and not doing much with her career. I on the other hand have a 20 year relationship and a steady career.
100% Accurate. The circle of people you are around the most and your closest friends will define you and what your life will be. How can you possibly be successful, if your friends never push you to your new heights? if they never encourage you to push your limits and getter further in life? It maybe a bad example, but if you constantly racing Honda Civics and Honda Civics constantly telling you that this is the only racing out there and it is Super Difficult to Impossible to get to a higher level of racing, so you might as well just give up an idea and stay with Honda Civic crew forever, do you really believe you be able to reach a Formula 1 status? while constantly hanging around Honda Civics and only racing with them?
I disagree with this. I have a wide variety of friends for all kinds of backgrounds and walks of life. Each of them bring something different into my life, including perspectives on different types of people. If anything having different types of friends has benefited me and only enhanced my life.
Yes i keep friends who are better than me they respect me. I choose my friends carefully as I believe in having less quality friends as compared to more quantity friends.
in my case it is true... my friends are very much vital in my life, and have been part of my life in many different ways and that for the better, friendships that been ongoing from 8 to 20 years or so...
we support each other, we help out each other... we look out for one another...
"friends are the family that we choose" also rings true for me
Well I think the statement is "you are who your friends are."
But your statement is probably just as accurate in regards to dating. Lots people get on GAG and complain about dating, but in reality they are seeking, dating or finding the wrong types of people, and not doing any self reflection and growing into better versions of themselves.
So maybe a better saying would be, "show me who you're dating and I will show you what your future is."
The quote I wrote is exactly how the man stated it. This isn't my statement. But yes it's equivalent to " you are who your friends are". I agree about the dating. They complain about this and that but in reality they need to do some deep rooted self reflection as to why they keep dating the same type of individuals
Honestly, and this is just my experience, no. I don't think they show your future.
Most of my friends from high school aren't close with me anymore. Most of my college aren't close either. I've had friends that are "stagnate" and others that have really excelled and then some that are on the same level as me
I'm still friendly with them but they haven't determined where I'm at in my life. People grow and change differently. That is what affects friendships.
Sometimes it does apply and sometimes it doesn't, I had a friend who had a different vibe with me but her vibe with her other friends was very... um... well as how she was explained in the rumours. I wouldn't hang out with the people she hangsout with and I am nothing like them.
I have never thought of it, but I think there is some credence to that.

Mostly. Sometimes you can be working towards very different goals than your friends are, though. I agree more with the saying “you are the sum of the 3 people you hang out most with.” As in show me your friends and it shows me what you’re like.
Nah. I'm in a great relationship and have a good career. My friends are missing one or the other or both.

It depends. Sometimes you have to be friends with people you don’t really want to be friends with or else you won’t have any. But if you look at someone’s close friends then maybe
