Recognizing Friendships That Make A Difference In Your Life

By Leigh Daniels


Making friends is something that all of us have in common, and it is something that pretty much every human being has in common. The one thing that is really important to realize is that we become like the people we hang out with, so choosing the best influences is part of forging good and healthy friendships.

There are a few things you can look out for to tell what kind of person this friend makes you:

One real obvious thing to be aware of as a big indicator of whether or not they are positive influence is if you do things with them you normally wouldn't do.

If you don't drink or smoke or party normally, but do it when you hang out with your friend or friends, then maybe these are people and situations that you shouldn't be involving yourself in. Plus, if that isn't your scene in the first place, then you really need to think twice of hanging out with these guys.

And don't let peer pressure factor into this. Your true friends will always accept you, so don't pretend to be someone you are not.

Why would you want to be with someone that makes you feel guilty about it? If you start asking why you are hanging out with them, this is a real and serious indication that you need to associate with other people. Listen to your gut, and trust in your instincts.

Another thing is that sometimes friendships are seasonal in life and don't last long. Sometimes we outgrow them and try to hang on to something that is not meant to last. When the time comes that you are wondering why bother, then it's time to get going.

Don't settle for someone that is not good for you to be around. You have the choice of who you can be hanging out with as well as the activities you are doing. If you need to break away from a bad one, don't feel too bad about it and just get it over with and get on with your life.
