Do you have social standing rules and expectations when selecting your friends?

[jennifer_bloom]

I find, I do not need to reject bad people as friends.

Because bad people always reject me as friends.

I think God makes bad people reject my friendship because God does not want bad people to influence me with their immoral behaviour.

I also think God sabotaged many romantic prospects in my life because none of those previous romantic interests were as good as the interest I have now.

As for the ones who told lies about me, either with hateful malice or while believing lies their trusted friends told them about me, they will have to bear the yoke and burden of their lies about me one day, and it will be a painful and difficult punishment when it happens.

They might discover when they die and stand before God's throne, that not a single one of their good deeds on earth counted before God because they slandered me over 800 times while they were alive and refused to apologize for it or atone for it.

I don’t follow social rules in a religious sense, but when it comes to choosing friends, I do care about things like education and lifestyle matching. It’s important for me to connect with people who share similar values and ways of living.

Bad people want you as a friend so they can exploit you. Plus the more people they have associated with them the more it muddies the water in a police investigation.

Yes, I do. My friends must not be male centred because from my experience, that mindset breeds jealousy and animosity. They must genuinely be kind people, meaning they don’t go out of their way to harm others. They should strive to excel in the things they love and work toward affording themselves and their loved ones the lifestyle they desire. That way, they can genuinely celebrate others when they succeed without envy.

They must also not be afraid to be alone when values or principles don’t align, rather than changing themselves or forcing others to change. Personal hygiene is important, and they must dress appropriately for occasions, not just to fit in but to show respect for the event and the people around them. For example, a club outfit would be out of place at a formal dinner outing.

I would never tell anyone to conform to the above, if we gel we gel and if we don't we don't and that's it.

Yes, I choose friends who are fun, but also compassionate and empathetic.

[Jeff51]

Yes. at least where I am in life.

They need to be considerate of boundaries
