Therefore, it is difficult to make judgments on people based on their friends. To make such a judgment we would have to know who all their friends are, and this is not realistic.
The Japanese typically have two types of friends, the people they are seen with in public, and their secret friends they have affairs with and do not want the public to know about. Such behavior maybe well known in their society, however it exists in virtually all societies in a much more secretive basis.
My ideas about ...
The people with whom we surround ourselves have a significant impact on us. The reason is that we copy ourselves from these certain behaviors. We imitate our personal environment.
Would a child come alone on the idea to walk on two legs, when all the people around him always crawl on hands and knees? Most likely not. Because we automatically assume behaviors of our environment! It starts with the parents and siblings. Later, we encounter through the enhanced social influence our "friends". What does that mean for our topic? Create an environment of friends that will benefit more than harm. Surround yourself with people from whom you can learn something. Such means that you positively inspiring. Friends can inspire you for the better. Be critical, choose, learn, ask for help at your friends,parents, teachers if you are not sure. As part of your options your social personality and your competence is to develop further. Be clear about your interests, build, create your circle of friends, it is your future ... The challenges to connect into a better quality of friends, life and future is in your personal environment it is yourself, your parents, your teachers, your friends, your company. Just do it.
