What type of people do you surround yourself with?

This might sound weird but i will in detail explain it. i have 2 kinda preferences 1) I surround myself with love and kind people who understand who they are and their connection to the spiritual understandings of life, and how all is connected 2) I surround myself with negativly oriented people so that i can also learn them the ways how things should be, i see this as a wonderful oppertunity to bring joy into the disturb minded people who have alot of stress and have no clue what spiritual means or contains. kinda paradox but i'm getting used to it :)

wow...sounds like a big part of my own experience. well,as i have told in other similar discussions, I have worked 3 years for a boss who always said rude words everyday to his employees. everyday here means literally everyday. every single day. now I'm still confuse how I survive those 3 savage years. but thanks God I'm still alive now.hehe during those years, I only accepted his rude words and maybe, unconsciously believed that I was like what he said. so pathetic. I did not even dare fighting him back because i was afraid to lose job. now I think i was just too stupid to stay quiet when insulted and to be afraid of losing job. then i resigned from that job and continued my study in US. here I meet so many positive people. they always say good things about this life and always encourage me to do great things such as being the best student in school, join more activities at school, and make as many friends as i can. churches around here have helped me keep my faith on the right track and prevented me from doing bad things. this recent good life has made me thank God so much for putting me around many positive people. this good life also makes me realize how bad my life when i was working for that sick boss. now I wanna keep my self around these positive people so that i can get contaminated by them more and more. Happy positive life for you all!!

I love to surround my self with friend who i can talk to about any,and people who i cant learn a few positive things form too. I use to have people who treat me bad and say bad stuff about,so i just drop them instant.because people like those you would not want to associate your self with. I love to be around people who respect me and i respect,and who can motivate me along the way.

I surround myself with people that are positive because negative people tend to make you want to drink yourself into a stupor. I surround myself with people that have the same interests as me because that is a more stronger connection.

sometimes I find that I attract the same type of people , so I can't deny that these people carry the mission or important and it can be quite hard to accept because you disagree with them. Right now a negative or energy field which attracts the people seem to be inconsistent and because I haven't decided which people to surround me with , I see the negative and critical faults and ironically surround myself with said people. What I perceive for me is people with a different angle of life and fulfill the spiritual gap (new philosophies,etc) caring/intellectual people probably will blend with me..

lately, i have been trying to surround myself with positive people. I work full time, and don't seem to find time to get out & meet new people. I found that the 2 coworkers in the office i work in have so much drama and problems that all they do is complain. I have been trying to tell them to think positive or lets look at the bright side....but nope...i think they like to complain or maybe it gets them attention? I think hanging around negative people will only bring you down! So, i have been to a couple seminars this year, and I have really enjoyed being around like minded people! i am more happy being around positive & happy people.

For me friendly and no bad influence at me.

Times have been tough and I always login to chatrooms to have a good laugh with friends who bring positivity into my life. Currently, I don't get to go out that much since I'm the only one who takes care of my son so my social life almost dropped to zero. It now lives inside the Uzzap chatrooms that I'm so obssessed with and just having a ball with my clanmates always turn out to be a highlight in my day..regular days that is.

i surround myself with different kinds of people. i have my family, my "groupie" that is composed of the nerd, the computer addict, the "silencer", the happy-go-lucky, the mentally ill (yes, he is mentally ill, seriously), and me - the goth. oh yes, we're the wierdest group as what many other friends say but im happy with my friends. im able to learn much from them, and to realize little things and big things as well that i treasure so much. i also have my bestest friend in the whole wide world who although is not near me but he makes sure that the distance between us is not a hindrance for us to have a good friendship... :)

It is better to be surrounded by the people who knows how to understand you especially those crying moments.You can hold on their shoulders.

i allow myself to be surrounded by different kinds of people. some i like being with and some not so much :) but either way, I still learn from my experiences with them, so i thank both kinds of people who have given me the experience necessary for my progress. but i really like to be with spiritually awakened people, coz with them i progress a thousand fold everytime for infinity :) blessings ...

I agree with the last words you said.When i entered university,i met such a person,i am a very outgoing person,so it's easier to make friends with me.Here,i call this friend of mine S.I and S made friends through the internet,at first,we didn't talk much with each other until we met at the school.Because of the same environment,we always had a lot of things in common to complain about.As days passed by,we became closer and closer.When i looked back the days we spent together,i found that unless he had something for me to help or he was very bored about the days,then he would look for me!i am not a selfish person,i don't mind if you have no time to have a talk with me!But i hate the guys who only take advantages of the others and without thingking of the others'feelings.I consider him as a good friend of mine,i helped him whenever he needed my help.But when i have a problem i even couldn't find him.He refused to reply my message unless he also wanted to look for me!I think i am just a big idiot!How foolish i am!Like an old saying goes:a friend in need is a friend in deed!I don't have the feeling that he deserves my care!if you want to make friends only for the purpose of taking advantages of him/her,i just want to say that you have a short-eyesighthow can you do that to hurt a person's heart because of the care he/she puts on you!
