How Important are those around you?
For me my family is my life. They mean the world and I need them more than anything, so they're very important to me. Although I could easily survive with being on my own, having said that they are an important part in my life.
As for my friends and other people I know. The answer would be the same, not as much as my family but this doesn't mean I wouldn't go the same distance to make them happy as I would with my family. (I would)
How Important are those around you? I think we all need someone, although different lives equal different answers.
Thanks,
~Joey

Hey Sunita64 =)
Thanks for the responses.
It's nice to see a good reply which is different than my life.
I honestly don't know what I would do without those people around me. (not just family) =)
Kudos,

Forgive my English.I from Ukraine.4 years ago i have left from the country on earnings for USA illegally. I very much experienced separation from mine family.But in Ukraine is not present an opportunity to earn money. I have two boys. When i leaved him there were 11 and 12 years. In two years of work in America i have taken away the wife and wished to work 2 more years and to go home. But there was a trouble. After arrival of the wife , in a week i have fallen from a roof and have broken a neck. Has lain in hospital 1.5 years. When i have left hospital that the doctor have told, that i shall not go never. So to what i told it. I am very grateful to my wife who has not thrown me. We together 15 years. We very much love each other. I cannot go to Ukraine.There are no conditions for people in my position. Very much i wish to see the children. I very much love the family. And they love me. It is very good,when you are surrounded with people who love you. Protect family and appreciate her

My family are the most important people in my life and try to spend time with my parents as much as I can since they are getting older and will not be around forever. My closest friends are very important to me, both here locally and the good friends that I have made online. We do all need someone special in our life, whether it is family, friends or soulmate. It would be very hard to be happy without any of them.

My family are very special to me too. I'm truly blessed to have a beautiful daughter, a loving, compassionate sister, and daughter-in-law, a niece and nephew that mean so much, and a brother and sister-in-law as well. I also have 3 stepsons, and a grandson, who I care deeply for. I too have friends that are near and dear to me, and make the world a brighter place to live in. It's my belief that everyone needs someone, afterall 'No man is an Island,'as the saying goes.

I would be lost with out my family. I always take care of my family before I take care of myself. As far as friends ther is only 2 I consider close enough to be considered part of my family.

The people around me are very important. All my life I've had some one or the other living with me and I liked it that way. In my home country, children countinue to live with parents for a long time and they don't move out like here in the US. I was with my parents till I got married a year ago and now I'm with my hubby here in the US. I miss my family and friends. Here's its only the two of us and I feel so lonely at times. It is human nature to yearn for a relationship with another being, no matter what kind of realtionship.

My family is the most important thing in my life. I love my family so much. I am far away from my parents and I miss them so very much. I wish I could live with them forever. But this is life we have to take the circumtances how it comes. I try to call them as frequent as I can. Friends are also important for me.

My husband means the world to me. We have started building a life together, and it would seem empty and pointless without him.
I have some very close friends that I love dearly. I recently moved away from them, but it doenst change how important they are to me. I would do ANYTHING for them.
And believe it or not, my dogs are a big part of my life. I know they won't be here forever, but I'd be lost without them, too.

You do have a lovely family my friend and it's good to see, I know you worship the ground they walk on from hearing how you talk about them in your discussions. My family is my mum and dad I have no brothers or sisters and I try to see them as often as I can, I think the world of my mum. Sometimes it's great to get away from my housemate, I need a break! He's a friend to me but a friend I like to have in small doses. I am a very solitary person and I don't need too many people around me, it's good to know they are there tho'

My family is the most important for me. I can sacrifice my own happiness just to secure a brighter future for them. My parents and the entire family had given me much love and I need to do everything to reciprocate it with equal or greater amount of love and affection.

personally i could like without my biological family...appart from my doggy, Floss...but as for my boyfriends family, i couldn't live without them. They make me laugh and since me and Will have been together I have considered them to be my family more than my own.

When I woke up in the morning, I need to see my family. When I'm cooking, I need to ensure that my family will love what I'm cooking. Wben I'm having one those blues, my children's presence are enough to brighten my day. When my children got sick, I worry myself like crazy. When my children are in school, I miss them terribly. When I go out with friends, I can't wait to be with my family again...when I...when I...do I still need to continue??? There goes my answer.

As someone had said once,human is a social animal.thus without being in company with other people to survive on the earth itself is very difficult.Since life of a person is full of struggles,so to get over the day to day problems one needs emotional support also.it provides you a tonic to fight the odds in the life.the feeling of being loved by someone gives your confidence and you tend to fight against all adversities.people around me are not only important but they are necessity of my survival.
