I noticed that when I'm around people that's always thinking negative about nearly everything, I gradually start thinking the same way without even knowing it. I had a friend about 3 years ago who always looked at the bad in just about every situation. Every time she applied for a job, she always said "They ain't gonna hire me anyway, I'm just wasting my time." Before she would even try to do almost anything, she would say "I can't do this, something bad might happen". You know what? She never got hired and bad things usually happened to her. That's why I only hang around positive people. A positive outlook on life itself can make a world of difference on how you feel about yourself,how your day turns out,your attitude towards other people,less stress, and it can help you appreciate what you have even more.

I like being around people who have an optimistic view of life.It so bad being around a person who is a pesimist.I hate being around people like your ex-friend lol But seriously Ive known people like her and they just seem to suck the life out of every situation and they are no fun to be around.Plus it seems like no matter what happens they will never be happy..I just thanks God for everything in my life the good and the bad.This helps me be optimistic knowing that he always takes care of his children.

I really like people who are friendly and easy to talk to, and don't leave it up to me to keep the conversation going all the time. I feel awkward around people who don't smile because I wonder if they are planning my demise or something. The least they can do is pretend to like me!

I don't like to be around people who never smile. It does make you wonder just what are they thinking. And those people who never make eye contact makes me nervouse. I make up some excuse why I have to go and do something.

I like being around people that have an open mind. I have friends of all kinds. I dont deal well with people that are quick to judge. I love being around kids even though i dont have kids of my own. a lot of my friends have kids. I have different groups of friends too. I have my chill friends that dont smoke or drink then i have my friends that do smoke and drink. I dont smoke or drink but i have no problem hanging out with people that do.

Hello friend.
I love people who are friendly and good sense of humor.But at present most of the people living around us are selfish and arrogant.I hate this kind of people and atmosphere.I prefer to stay people who are supportive,helping hand and economical independent.

I think almost anyone would pick an upbeat person over a doom and gloom person as it really can rub off on you. At the same time I dont like hanging with a party animal thou or someone that wants to go out all the time, as Im more a family person. That is why my best friend and I mesh so well.
I also like someone that can hold a conversation and not just agree with me cause they think I will get mad or anything. I like a friendly debate and getting others points of views, even thou I will very rarely change my opinion.. lol
Yep so give me someone that is upbeat and can hold a converstation, ohh and liking pool is a extra bonus.. lol

[i]HI miracle,
I agree with you..I love to hang out with friends who are very positive about life and always optimistic as well as real people, those who don't pretend to be somebody else or whatever!
It's very influential whom we talk with each day and whom we are close with so, it's always ideal to have a positive environment![/i]

I usually like to be around people with positive thinking. They will never say no or can't without trying first. Therefore I will also try first before say no. Usually I will success doing what I try. If still can't than I will try until success. I won't give up until didn't try few times. Usually I like to explorer new software. I feel good knowing new things.

As long as they are good people then I have no problem hanging out with them. Being influenced on what they are and do is up to you. If for example a student like me hangs with fellow students who always skips class, then it's up to me if I'm going to skip class to or not. Although it's unavoidable for them to think that your not really into them and is not really part of the group.

I'd like to be positive persons who like to smile and joke and fill the air with certain positivity than grumble and take life negatively. Negative people tend to create negative aura around them. I don't want to be around these type of people.

A positive outlook is always preferable to a negative one. It would be nice to be around people with positive outlooks. Those with negative minds give me a headache.

I like being around people who think positive because I can't stand being around people that are negative because when I am around those kind of people I always seem to think the same way. I hate people who are negative and put up excuses about everything instead of thinking positive and try to make a change in there life they would always think negative about every aspect of life. I think the best thing is to surround yourself with positive people and stay positive in every aspect of life.
