How to find friends that last and that are actually good people?

[Anonymous]

I feel the only people I meet that I share in common things are bad influences and bad people. I like football, basketball, cooking/baking, and working out and somehow the only people I become friends with are drug addicts or girls who are psycho. I just want some friends that thinks of a friend as someone who they support, share interests, are nice too, don't talk about them behind their back, and have a life outside of the friendship. But all I get are people who tell all secrets to everyone, try to get into a physical fight with their friends, do tons of drugs and drink, no life outside of talking. The guys think I am too good for this group but if I am in any other group I wouldn't fit well.

Try becoming friends with people that have a commercial driver's license with passenger endorsement. They get tested for drugs often and if they test positive they lose their license. 1 year for the first offense and for life on the second offense. They pretty much have to stay clean in order to work in that field.

Sometimes it’s a matter of luck. But you can stay away from people who are obviously bad news and doing dumb things

That’s impossible these days.

Not time for in person. Every so digitally driven which is fiction when real life hits. People used to be Forbes to congregate but not last 40 plus years. Zoom classes etc…
