dont lower your standards just because you are lonely

I think that no one should make compromises in any kind of relationship, if they want to be happy. If you lower your standards, you will soon realize that you are not satisfied by the people around you and then you will feel even more alone than before.

I'm not really sure if i have standard or not. I tried to be friends with anyone but i never really done what i'm not comfortable doing it. For instance, once in elementary school i tried smoking and i don't like it, so now whenever people ask me to smoke i refuse, but i didn't label them as people who i should avoid. I don't drink, but i have friend who like to get drunk and i still friends with them. I think the only kind of people i tried to avoid is the people who i think try to gain financial benefit from me.

This is actually a Big one, and I know there are people, especially when it comes to Dating Relationships that have been known to do that, and it can be quite harmful. I actually know a couple right now, that the man in the relationship is not Happy and the girlfriend is always dragging him down. She claims to be really depressed and even though she is in a work thing until she gets her degree from the college she is at, she has severe depression, and a lot of the time always sleeping, or does not trust him being alone somewhere and makes him be with her, even if that means going out of the way to pick her up somewhere, or forcing him to go with her places. I really wonder how can people just be like this?

I definitely do agree with this, but I have to say being lonely sometimes really hurts. And increase the risks of stress. I would never lower my standard because I am lonely. As a matter of fact I am a bit antisocial so being lonely isn't a problem to me either, but to others it can be a nightmare.

Hi friend, we must always be our self and don't lower our standards for friendship. If you are good and having great characters, what are the need to lower your characters and standards? Don't change your character for a bad friend, if your friend is good and guiding you in a good way, then you will get good reputation, if you change your standards for him
