Do you believe in the saying “you are who you hang around”?

Question

Answer

My mother always says "show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are" 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I think it is more the case when your younger but as you get older you tend to stick more to what you think is right and not as easily influenced

Answer

Not necessarily. I have been friends with people who are the complete opposite of me. But I know this is true for some people

Answer

Not for me. I don’t conform. I’m my own person, and I don’t follow the crowd. For other people, maybe, but not everyone.

Answer

100%. I was a horrible rude kid hanging around all my stoner “friends”. Now I hang around a bunch of nerds and I got into d&d, video games, and I’m much happier. I’m one of the nerds lol

Answer

No. The people in my circle are all very different. We handle similar situations differently and we have different beliefs and values.

Answer

I mean... one of my friends is heavily into bdsm and is hyper as hell. I'm pretty vanilla and physically calm... so not really?

Answer

Birds of a feather flock together

Answer

This reminds me of The Golden Girls episode when Dorothy had a friend who was a member of a "no Jews allowed" club. She immediately stopped the friendship even though they had the same interests and mentally comparable. The friend said she didn't mind if someone was Jewish or not. Dorothy replied that it didn't matter, what mattered was she allowed herself to associate with people who tolerated that and it's a reflection of her.

Answer

To a certain extent in some situations. I have friends who some people would classify as “hoes” because of their sexual activity but I don’t do what they do so it doesn’t apply to me .
