Two heads are better than one. Just like the broom works effectively when each stick is tied together, so are we humans dependent on each other to grow rightfully. Friends are part of life and can be the catalyst to once growth in various aspects.
We all must have heard the various stories of the different types of friends we have, the multipliers, those that divide you, those that subtract from you have and finally, those that add to your life positively. I won't want to go into much detail about that. I believe we all can denote the meaning of each type of friend.
Sometimes back, I was talking to someone who complained of how bad his friends are let me put it this way-"those he calls friends are. I listened tirelessly to every single thing he said and when he was done, I was glad it was over. I say this because I'm sure he will say the same thing about me when he is with other friends. While at the restaurant yesterday I heard a similar story and it brought back memories of my previous encounter with someone who believes all his friends are against him.
I typed what came to my mind on noisecash after leaving the restaurant and went to bed. But after waking up in the middle of the night, it came back to mind.
Bad Company corrupts good manner
The people you associate yourself with matter a lot. I sometimes wonder how people in a class of 100 became small units. You see 2 to 3 people walking together with the same behaviour. The lecturer never asked people with the same interest or behaviour to become friends, but they somehow locate each other.
The influence friends have on one another cannot be underestimated. You might say to yourself that you won't join them, you are only friends with them for this purpose or that. But believe me, the day you will join them in engaging in acts you promised you'll never indulge in, you'd be shocked.
You're the average...
You're the Average of the people you hang out with the most. You are the type of person that spends without restrain, you buy things on impulse, yet you work with a person that loves shopping all day. Instead of getting rid of the habit. You relapse deeper.
As said earlier, the influence friends have on others is huge. With time you realise you act the way your other friends do. Even if you don't, people will regard you as such or assume that you are all the same.
"Show me your friends and I will tell who you are"
Start by being a good friend
You expect people to be good to you. To be a friend you can call on at any time and will be there for you? Why don't you start by being that friend first? Be the friend you want your friend to mirror.
You don't give bad vibes and expect good vibes from others. You act toxic to everyone around you and complain that you have no friends. Nobody wants to associate with toxicity. Do you think you are better off alone? Then don't complain when you need someone's help, not compulsorily financially and you look around you can't call on anyone.
Be a good friend today!🤗💚🤗
