What kinda people do u surround yourself with?

I feel like alot of the ppl around me arent successful and that i dont have much to learn from them.

Like i helped get my friend a job with me and on the first day dude shows up in a fitted and sweats. :lol: straight embarassed me

I feel like if u cut the so called fat aka bums from around your life you can be more successful
 
I keep it family oriented. I cut a lot of homies out of my life because I honestly don't have time for their bs. I keep a tight circle.
 
I got a real tight circle. 3 - 6 for life homies. They're irritating me because they're kinda satisfied with this average low to middle class money we got and im trynna add Ms to my net worth. But it's whatever. Once I finish school and i'm not working 2 jobs, I'll have the free time to get my own stuff poppin. And when they decide they want greatness, I'll put em on. Ol' VP of Stratton Oakmont looking boys. But they always looked out for me and we stay outta trouble so thats all good.

Then there's my fraternity brothers. Most of my pledge class is either done or finishing up school so we're all kinda split up and too busy to hang but all they gotta do is pick up the phone. The active chapter is still about that party life so, I'm off that.

I wanna make new friends though.. I just dont have the time or know how at 23 to jump into other people's long time circles. Any tips guys?

No one #Forever alone

JK, only those who motivate and/or inspire me with positivity. People who are unproductive, "stuck", negative and/or useless get left in the rearview mirror.

I like to keep cool people in my life... They dont necessarily have to have a plan in life what they want to be or be successful because i don't judge.. they control their own destiny not me... with that being said i will hang out with if you cool regardless of your situation unless your like a crackhead then nah... what i mean by cool is they are cool to hang out with have a positive vibe and just overall fun... the people i dislike are the haters, the ones that try to bring you down and their overall vibe is negative all the time and also those people who flake on you after making plans with you
 
been the same way lately..cut off a lot of stagnant homies idk don't have time for it anymore nor do I care, especially if they don't want to do anything to better their situations. Straight up told one of my boys I was ashamed of him for not going to school anymore and being a heavy pothead...it was kinda callous but hopefully it can get him to change his ways.

so in all I only got a few homies but tbh I could care less cause im close with my fam more than anything, cause they keep me focused and on the right path towards my goal. And the dudes who are there in the end is what its gonna be, the dead weight gets left behind
 
All my friends are doing well in school and most of us hold down jobs or internships or some other resume builder so I'd say we doing alright.
 
same old high school friends for the most part, but not for long since most of us are graduating and getting career jobs or going to grad school.

then I have some friends I made in a student org with similar interest who seem to be pursuing a lot.

I kind of feel like I'm the one friend who hasn't accomplished much, but that's just me being hard on myself. Can't focus too much on what my friends are doing because I need to graduate and get a job.

I just hang out with anyone who isn't a terrible person to talk to. I don't care too much for titles/careers/jobs as much as I used to think was so important. The more people I meet the more I realize that the title of any job really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. We all have to work a job, do something to eat. People who constantly network to find people with fancy titles and affiliations are tiring to me.
 
I have different circles.

I have my grown friends, my white friends, my country friends, my goonie friends, and my work friends.

Actually the country and goons are the same people...
 
Throughout childhood and then into high school, I mainly just surrounded myself with people who had similar interests and were easy to get along with. This is still the case in college, but now I'm more "selective" about what kind of people are my close friends.

My circle was always pretty close up until my sophomore year of high school when I started meeting a lot of new people and being invited to things more often. I started to realize they weren't the people I should be hanging around, not that they were necessarily bad people, but they would all go along with what one or two of them said. It almost like groupthink, like they couldn't think for themselves and shut down any other opinions. Not only that, but most of them always had to crack jokes at someone's expense in an OD kind of way.

I cut a majority of those people off and in the process learned a lot about the people you surround yourself with. I learned another lesson on friendship rather recently/helped someone learn the same lesson I did after I heard their extremely inclusive outlook on friendship and the types of people they were around. I encouraged them to cut off the people they would always tell me were no good and they opened my eyes a bit to the number of passes I'd give to some of my close friends. I've learned that longevity doesn't necessarily correlate to the quality of a friendship.

Now I want to surround myself with those I share similar interests with AND can connect with on a deeper level as well.

Got 2 friends that I've known since middle school, been over 10+ years that we've known each other. They got their head on straight graduated college got jobs in their field and we all want to make millions having a Lambo sitting in the a garage in a few years. Know some people that are 26 and still smoke with Mary, rarely talk to them now. Don't have time for people who want to party every weekend or hit up the club/bar for no reason when you're not where you want to be in life.
 
My close friends and I share the same ethnic and religious background. We also grew up in the same economic environment and all have about the same education level.
 
I don't really surround myself w/ people unless it's fam or damn near fam. I've associated with too many mark *** busters in my life. But you live and you learn. Tight circle =

"Every __ in this whip gotta motha__ college degree"

Known them for...about 7-8 years now. We're still young tryna get it
 
I surround myself with people with the same life/career goals as me. Ambitious, etc.

Less friends = less stress imo
