I love my friends, and for most time it is great to stay with them. The problem is that i feel mad at them from time to time, becuase they like to bother others for trival matters. that really bother me, because of my independent character, i always believe that someone should not trouble others unless you have to. i hate to trouble others and don't like to be bothered especially when i'm focus on my own business. Does that mean i am not a good friens? Is my mentality weird? well, i don't know about that, it really bother me :(

Yes, you are weird, if you don't like what your friends are doing to others, while they don't care about your feeling and continue doing what make them happy in front of you, but you still want to force yourself to hang around them, it just make no sense, since you have an independent character, you should distant yourself from them because of their action on bothering others on trivial matters rather than move on like nothing happen at all.

Yes, i known you are a human, not a cat or a dog. You can not be nice to everyone all the time. Having say that, it doesn't mean that you can not be weird while still possess all these qualities. Keep away from them won't diminish your love to hang out with your friends in the future, actually there is nothing to worry about.

hiya Angela!
naah...from how you've described yourself, i don't think you're weird. compared to some of the other Lotters around here, you sound pretty much alright
everyone has the right to be choosy about the kind of friends that they want to have, and you have all the right to be very selective in the friends that you want to confide in. take me as an example, i do what i want to do, when i want to, and how i want to. rules are there just as a guideline. other than that, it's all up to me. and i don't really care what others may think about me...as long as i know that my conscience is clear, and i'm not doing anything wrong, i'd just carry on being who i am

There's nothing wrong to be selecting the friends that you need in your life. probably you need friends that makes you happy and appreciate what you do and your views. being yourself is nothing wrong, if you want to join the crowd, make sure it's a good one because this isn't definitely a good crowd that you're hanging out with.

Hello Angela11, I think you should just remain to be yourself. this is clearly a bad example on their part minding some one elses business, besides i think were old enough to handle these situations on their own. if it bothers you, then probably you shouldn't hang out much with these people, they seemed to be like a bad example to me. be true to yourself and am sure they respect you for that

I don't think you're weird. We all have our own personality. The beauty of friendship is being able to have different personalities in one group and still go together well. The beauty of friendship is being able to understand and help each other. I agree that you shouldn't trouble others. Just don't mind what bothers you. Let them do what they like to do. If it really bothers you a lot or it's intolerable for you, maybe you can tell them in a nice way about how you feel and maybe they would try to understand your side too. Real friends understand each other. =)

Dear Angela, we have similar attitude. I don't like to bother people matters or interfere my friends life. But in this world, all comes up side down, what we get is this kind of irritating people. So be patience and just don't bother at them.
I like to mind my own business but other people like to mind my business. You such a good person, you are not weird, frankly speaking i love to make friends, but sometimes friends also will do back stab on me. So now, after i get married, i rather concentrate myself to my husband, my family (far away from me) and myself.
By the way, this is my opinion, internet friends could be more better than real life friends. Example in Mylot, you can meet a lot of good people who can give you advice and listen your problem, share knowledge and many more positive benefit. And you can earn money too here. Tell me, which friendship that can give you money? They only will take money from you, But in Mylot does give you money yeaa :))

Everyone of us is unique. The uniqueness in us is what make us known..that what we called our own "personality". Since we are unique, so we cannot expect others to like us or accept us and vice versa. But always put in mind that we are not here in this world to live up with their expectations and vice versa. Just be yourself and be true to yourself,,,

angela:
fine. You are right in liking your friends. But you may not be always right in expecting others not to approach others. The very existence of human life is to help others-- after their seeking help or before their seeking help.
We can manage ourselves but we cannot change others. Realise that and then things will be easy to handle. You are a good person/friend. People like who try to bother beyong what is required are not weird but they do have problems for themselves and others,.
Allow others to be what they are. Like them as it is --with their tendency of asking help,

Friends love to be a friend to other friends. So, they usually don't mind it when their friends approach them about something. On the contrary, most people like to feel confided in and like to give advice and like the feeling that they are helping someone else. You will not know what wisdom your friends may have if you do not ask them.
