What are the disadvantages of spending too much time with friends?

Well, frenz are important to us, and important in our lives.. We need them survice, and we depend very much on them, other than family members.. BUt however, family should always be our top priority and we should never forget them.. Since u have already been influenced by your frenz, it's time for u to wake up and realise what has gone wrong.. OR rather, what are the things which makes u stay away from home more often.. ONce u find out the cause of it, solve it, and everything will be back to normal for u again ^_^

Yup, you are right. Nowadays, many people tend to be extravagant in their spending, and if one hangs out with another, there needs to be money spent all the time. The days whereby money is not an issue has been gone totally and nowadays, everything is about money. And only the victimized parties would feel the pinch. It's about showing off mainly and I'm just sick and tired of the rat race sometimes. It's best to just let it easy and just take a chill pill. Not literally, though, LOL. I'd rather have some relaxed friends whom are not into spending $100 a day, ha... good topic here, Neelia.

Their are bad and good friends which may brings a lot of influences. being with good friends gives a lot of motivation to do all good things. Having bad friends stolen your time to spend with family and brainwash your mind to attend lot of parties and spend unwisely. all things need to be control to be put in balance and by doing well you'll be fine.

You have said all the disadvantages of spending too much time with your friends. It is necessary to be able to create a balance in your life between your friends and family. Skiping occassion in your family for friends is not worth it because friends come and go but family is forever

I think the family important than friends. Of course, if you friends and your family needs you, then according to the importance of the matter reasonable arrangements.

I agree that the disadvantage spending to much time with our friends is we accidentally become far with our family... To avoid this, i usually make my friends close with my family so we can spend times together... I have 8 bestfriends...and they all close with my family..sometimes they come with me in my family gathering...

I try and find a happy balance. Many of my friends have become as family to me. Some of them are closer to me than most family. But I don't forget often about family events. It is the thought that counts, not the amount of money that gets spent.

Dear neelianoscet, I personally think that we should put some priority in life. Our family and love ones should be at the top of the list. It is good that we can keep in touch with our friends. Talking about friends, we need to be selective, good friends are hard to find. We should appreciate our good friends too. Life and friendship should be balance. Time management is very important. Thanks and take care

Although friends are wonderful, and spending time with them is great, there are many disadvantages I can think of regarding spending an abundant amount of time within their company. The longer you spend with a person, the more chance you have of discovering what bad habits they may have, or find that their personality isn't exactly one that you are fond of. Spending too much time with friends can also result in these negative habits and characteristics rub off onto you, making you slightly more disliked by others. Certain people can be just too clingy, and this can give off vibes of creepiness. I always tend not to be that person who leeches onto his friends and cannot bear to be away from them, although I have unfortunately met many people who do, and let me tell you this, they have been some of the most unsociable, unengaging people I've encountered because, quite simply, they have had all individual personality sucked away from them. Despite this rant, I think that to have a strong set of mates is one of the best things possible, and sharing experiences with them is, for me, what life is all about.

Having good friends are good but spending more of a time with them than yourself leads nowhere and on other hand as you said misguided friends can lead only to your doom,i say friendship has both advantages and disadvantages more to advantage to say, we cant live without friends too with their love and affection. only that there is a limit in everything like spending half of your time and then half on looking after your own life is pretty nice move that i do.really for me friendship is all about fun.

If you spend a lot of time with friends you don't have enough time to study and sometimes if you have money and don't work you do nothing but going to parties and clubs. So you don't read books,watch TV or movies and that could make you very stupid because you do same things every day. If you have inteligent friends you can learn something from them and also to speak about many things.

FrIeNdS are absolutely gift from god. And, if they are good, then you are blessed! But as it is said too much of anything is fit for nothing, it applies to spending time with friends too. 1) You never think about whats next in your life coz life is what we think it to be! 2) Eventually, parents and relatives(in case of a joint family) tend to miss you after some point of time 3)You may get too much influenced by your friend

When we do things that make us have fun we tend to forget about more boring but serious and important things. For example, if you hang out too much with friends you can start paying less attention to studies, work, or other kind of hobbies. Is important to know how to set priorities. Of course is important to have fun, but we don`t have to forget about other things that are as important as friends too ;)

Having friends and being social is healthy for you, but too much of it-like too much of anything- can hurt the rest of your life. You could forget about important things for work and school, as well as things for family and other important people.

For me really would be none as My freinds dont visit that often and I have several family members living with us. Only thing they arent the side of my family they are my SILs and I could do with out a couple of them!lololololol

If you spend too much time with friends I'm thinking that there is a possibility that other areas of life can be neglected like family and things like that. As regards forgetting about important events like family birthdays and things like that well I use a system which I really like and that is, I use the windows calenda that comes built in with windows vista and it reminds me constantly of upcoming events! I think that if you spend too much time with friends then there may be a time when you all need to give eachoether some space! It's nice to have a lot of friends though that keep you busy! Andrew

I think the disadvantage too much time to our friend is that we can forget something relevant work in our home or works or anything that is important thing to do...

there are many disadvantages when spending too much time with friends.one is that you'll place on the wrong path.another is that when your friends are bad influence you'll be losing your future for heading the right track which is the right way.spending too much with friends will forget special occasion as what you said a birthday,anniversaries so on and so forth.

Well, whenever there is conflict with my time between friends and family, i usually chose to be with my family. I only explain to my friends that i cannot be with them because i have to be with my family which is my priority and they always understand. They also have a family and they also do the same when they are in the same situation. I also have friends who spends like one day millionaire, but i don't let her influence me.I stick to my own way of spending because it is difficult to spend beyond your means. With regards bad companies, i always choose my friends. I have few friends only and i am already happy with them.

Well, when i spend too much time with my friends i tend to forget my responsibilities, in school and with my family. I have so much fun with my friends, whether they be good or bad friends. actually, i feel like my whole world stops when i am with them. True, that extravagant friends exhaust my wallet and sometimes i even have to ask money from my parents which i do not like doing. but i have keep up with my friends. i realized that i have to put things in moderation and just balance my time. my friends will understand if i spend less time with them. they know i have responsibilities and i have to attend to that.
