What kinda people do u put around urself?

currently, I'm generally surrounded by movie stars, tv actors, stage, musicians, athletes, writers, etc.

my other random friends are doctors and lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, etc. Any other friends that I once had, that seemingly lacked ambition, or drive, work ethic, I didn't formally cut them off or anything, but with less things in common, we'd just drift apart.

Whatever you are is what you attract. You want to attract good people? Be a good person.
 
I've got like 5 dudes and the Joe Rogan experience. The latter being the most influential :lol:

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 =

Went from having friends from all walks of life in high school to only having friends in college doing big things.

Don't talk to any of my friends (now associates) from high school not in college, w/o trying still keep up with my boys that went out of state for college.

Was almost entirely unintentional, but I really don't have a problem with it at all. Actually, kind of wish I made the decision consciously sooner.

All trying to become hella skilled in our chosen fields, putting each other on in the process, which in turns puts each other on even higher. Rinse and repeat till we're killin ****

Nevermind good person, you have to be Oprah to be keeping that kind of company.

Are you reeling off people you follow on twitter or can you actually call on these ****** to help you get rid of a body?
 
Positive people only.
Not talking about being negative in certain instances or being sad about something. But people that have this aura of negativity and bring everyone down with them. I hate those people.

My circle is pretty tight. 4 really good homies and my girl.
My girl is probably my best friend right now. Some frown on that, some admire that.

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?

I thought you were a finance guy lol
 
Mostly successful people. My best friend is a doctor, my other best friend is a lawyer (both brothers). I'm the loser of the group, a consultant contractor foe the government and I make pretty good money lol. Really good motivator to be around two dudes who are making close to $200k lol. I'm constantly trying to find a better paying job. And they keep me speaking well. Though I still have a heavy DC accent, I'm out here talking like Wayne Brady lol

Total 180 from my younger days. I, used to hang out with a bunch of unemoloyed, drug dealing *** dude back home in DC. leaving home for the military was the best decision i ever made
 
You go through life experiencing different social circles, but the ones that remain with you as you progress can be seen as your closer friends.  In school, you're with a bunch of walks of life, and as you grow, you'll realize that you start filtering out or gravitate towards particular people.  This group is probably the clique that makes you comfortable and a gives you a sense of belonging.

In the real working world though, it's totally different and you constantly work with and deal with many different personalities.  You're going to have to befriend those who are softer then you as gain confidence, and at the same time befriend people better than you.  What you wanna do is learn from those better than you, but not pose any threat to them.  You want to be good buddies w/ the long timer who are literally furnitures of the business and you want to ALWAYS be on the good side of everyone.  You gotta play the game like a secret service agent.  On the outside, you give off a character with an impression, but keep your intentions inside, and never talk to anyone about your plans.  Don't let your coworkers read you like how Bulter read Wilson.
 
Everybody from upcoming rappers to firemen to to lawyers. I'm pretty accessible to everybody, which is why I'm surrounded by everybody. It's also cool still being friends with a good amount of people from middle & HS. Just taking a look from way back all the way to now, everybody has been productive and progressing towards something. Can't go wrong there.
 
I have several circles. My main circle is my cousin/ best friend and a couple other ninjas I've grown up with.

I'm also super close to my college roommates and we talk pretty often.

I'm also Greek so I keep a couple successful Bruhs around to keep me motivated.

All of my circles are very diverse, with my home team in the smart guy but there are a lot of circles where I'm the youngin and still have a lot to learn.
 
Very tight circle of 5 homies.

It's been said many times, but I really think you attract who you are.
 
My friends are like my brothers. Close circle of about 3 other dudes including my older brother that I've known since day 1. I'm the youngest in the crew by 2-3 years.

We all do our own thing, and are all different...but the main things we have in common is our loyalty and reliability. I can truly count on those guys whenever or whatever. Down to ride too. Positive people. I could care less about titles and "striving" for some material success, or having the exact same goals or mentality. We all motivate each other...and want to see each other do well in whatever we do. The main thing is the positivity. We also will call each other out when needed.

I have a group of secondary friends that the same age as me. My older group of friends are transitioning to the settling down stage, and this crew is 24-25 and still living the bachelor life. Real Good dudes, just dont trust them as much. We hang more on the partying type tip, but I got love for them too. My man recently passing has brought this circle closer and now we all interact on a deeper level.

At the end of the day, other than my family...I just need to be surrounded by positive people that are trustworthy and understanding.

Truer words have never been spoken.

This is why I personally recommend not telling anything personal to your co-workers. Don't let them catch you trying to make moves, but don't be on bad terms with anyone either. I think it's a very fine line that you learn to walk as you go through life.

I was and am, but lol I do other things. I'm also in the entertainment industry.

Funny he mentioned Oprah..lol. True life friend of the family.
 
Real talk how do you meet new friends? I'll be 25 in a month & i've outgrown the circle I've known since about 17. But I have no idea how to go about befriending like minded people :lol:
 
I befriend all chill people, can call maybe 2 people friends but the rest are just faces I can put names too.

do you work out? I've met some of my pals there. Others I met in college. And then just through the course of life. If you're cool, they're be attracted to you and want to be buds, especially if you have things in common. Like with my 'celebrity' friends. We click for the most part because I treat them normal. I don't gas them. I keep it real. I clown them, we laugh we joke, we go out, for a lot of the guys, I get the residual groupies, because more of them just portray and image but aren't really anything like what's on the blogs or tmz. If you're cool, it's easy to vibe with new folks. And if you make a cool friend, they may intro you to others, then boom, your circle expands.
