Hey modstar! I don't know if I influence my friends. Most of
my friends are their own people! They are not easily influenced!
And that's what I like about them! We are adults and are not
supposed to be influenced by anyone. We might like the same
types of things, but I don't think that we copy each other.

I frequently try new hobbies or crafts. By either seeing what I'm doing, or hearing about it, several of my friends will try too. It makes it more fun that way. My favorite hobby is cooking though. My friends would rather come over and eat than to copy me. My brother once invited me over for dinner, before he got married. I was thrilled. Five minutes later, he called back and asked what I was bringing.... Then he asked me to bring lasagna with me .

No I'm not. And no I can't push my way of life to them no matter how I try.
And I on the other hand can't seem to follow their ways especially fashion. Like yesterday, my officemates agreed on wearing skirt to the office for today. Guess what? I came in my usual shirt and jeans.
They're crazy about twilight and I'm not.
Crazy over robert patentbonus whoever and I'm not. LOL
Something must be very wrong with me!

Some of my friends did. I have influenced them in terms of choice for food, drinks, clothes and attitude in life. It is scary because I am not worth emulating. lol

Yes, I think I am an influencial friend becoz my friends learn many things from me especially my good habits including helping to others in studies or any other way.
they like my simpleness and compliments me always about my habits.

hmm... I don't think I am.. hehe...
Although there are times I tried to change my friends' behavior, we end up misunderstanding each other so I thought, it would be better to just let them be what they are.
Well, if they did something really wrong, Like talking back and shouting at their parents, I can't help but have a word with them and tell them that what they did was wrong (because sometimes, they do not know that what they've been used to do is wrong).
But having a debate with them about it doesn't change anything.... so I let them be... hehe

I think I am a very influential person. I am good at convincing people and also am good at offering advices and help. MY friends often come to me and ask for opinion regarding anything. When they are in trouble and when they want someone to talk to, they come to me as I can really lift their spirts up and fill them with hope and positivity. I carry myself pretty well and people around me do ask me for fashion suggestions and tips. I have seen them emulating me too.

I beleive I am an influential person. For as long as I can remember, people have confided in me about everything you can imagine. I usually give advice and the more times than not follow it. If I see a freind doing something out of place, I will try to persuade them to quit it. Usually I can talk freinds in or out of most things, but i don't use it to my advantage...usually:)

I don't think I can do this overnight but I have tried and they always do follow,but not with clothes or hobbies,more on outlook in life and some very important decisions they should do.

maybe to some people
but the bad thing about that is
as soon as they don't like me, they will blame me for what happened to them
as if I forced them to change their ways of thinking and behaving
some personalities, eh?
