Yeap it is true if you don't have any one bad habits mentioned above then you alone or have very few friends. Basically this is happen with me i have very few friends and some time i feel very lonely i don't go with friends because friends always talk about girls which hassle me, i don't like to go in pub at night, not have the habit of drinking, smoking. that's why i think i have few friends..what you think about it..?

well,those habits indeed helps a lot to be along with others especially for boys,but i think not all people make freinds by means of that ways,first you should not seem this habits as criterion,actually it's bad as i can see and i can't endure boys smoking before me ,it smells stink and choking.i will not make friends with those who smokes a lot.so,there are indeed someone like you,hum^-^?
why not leave them alone and find some like-minded parter and you also can seek someone with similay hobbies as you.you will not be happy to stay with those stinky guys,right?

Hi.
Common habits certainly help a group of people to get together lot easily. They get to spend more time with each other doing their favorite thing and basically when they are in good mood, but then this can be achieved with good habits as well. Playing some kind of sport, following something that is happening around etc can help. For me it was Cricket that always kept my social circle glued together.

hello,
Yeah, right?! and I am really sad about this reality because it feels really alone when you dont have any vices. But still it is our own choice we gonna be affected of what our friends are. right? NO bad habits less friends and that is also me but at least I am avoiding delicate things and people.
good luck

The problem it seems my friend is that you have not been able to find others quite like you who have no bad habits. You see its people who have the same interests and habits that crowd together and become friends. I think you can find friends in a church.

Well for me that is not true. It depends on the type of culture you are in. What if the culture you are currently in does not allow you to smoke nor drink? Then it would be very possible for you to have a lot of friends who are similar to you who doesn't have any vices. I myself do have friends who don't have any vices but they have a lot of friends as well. So i don't think that those criteria that you have said will matter the number of friends that you have.

Literally, yes. But you can still find friends who don't have vices or just drink occasionally. Like me, I also experienced that before I stop my vices. I usually have plenty of new friends but when I decided to stop all of my vices right away because of my health problem. It is true that I lost few of them others remained but I call them on call friend. Lol. For they only show up whenever I call them for dinner or something.

I don't know if those who are only your friends because you smoke, drink and do other bad stuff together with them can really be called friends. I mean if someone wants my friendship (no, not a virtual friendship, that's okay for the most part :D) he's got to earn it with trust, he has to be able to listen when I have a problem, he has to show it, u know. Drinking/ smoking doesn't have to be an obstacle for friendship but certainly that mustn't be a condition.

I dont think you cant make friends if youre non-smoker or if you dont drink (or both). I believe you dont have to have bad habits to make friends. It just that you have tofind other activities to do together. Start some athletic activity (soccer, basketball, chess...) or join an artistic club. Thats the easy way to meet new people and make some friends. And once you meet the people you just gotta talk to them. Its all about communication from that point on.
I dont drink and i dont smoke either. I dont have any other bad habits. I too dont like to hang out in pubs at night. Yet i have many friends and cant say that im lonely.

Conformity is not a way to gain friends. Fri9ends are those who accept you for who you are. They accept you to their company without having your beliefs conformed. They accept you just for who you are.

I think you are not totally right.
I have that both habits of drinking and smoking but have no friend with whom i gossip or share. Usually i smoke at home and bar. I sit on a single table with my drinks in bar. Sometimes familiar guys come and just hi or hello from me. I am alone and wish to be same. Take care.

Yes, I will agree to that.You gain friends easily if you are into vice because group of friends are alive when they talk about their escapades which some haven't experienced yet.So you are into clean living.Try to join or engage in sports or other club in you locality which deals with charitable services I know you'll find lots of friends if you do.

fiends are not attracted by any of the bad habits, and there are not any readymade friends we have to make them from searching the sorrounding, and be friendly with everyone, try to become happy and talkative .

I think it all depends on the person. I personally do not have that many friends but I am contented with only a small group of friends, even though there some friends that are not really that close to me. I don't smoke, but I drink occasionally. We don't usually go to pubs or disco houses at night but we only go there to have fun. However, I personally do not like the feeling of going to the pub, even some of my friends. It's just peer pressure I guess. You just have to find the people you are comfortable with but of course, try mingling with others too. There's no harm in it.

I think person who cultivate good habits can still have friend and it is not only the bad group of people that have large friends. You can still have large friend if you take some patience to look for persons who share your lifestyle.
There are so many sports, games and recreational things you can do with your time and there are quites some large number of follower who also love such taste of yours.
So I would say there are good friends waiting for you if you take your time to search for them

You know true friends are hard to find, even if you have few friends if they have good influence to you then it's okay.You don't need many friends because most of them will only treat you as friend if they have something in you and eventually you will only feel betrayed or hurt.
