I fear that they might get hostile to me if i open up and take advantage, as has been the case in past. Reply to this Question Share |

reader, anonymous, writes (15 May 2007): Why would you think you are 'weak' for choosing seemingly nice people to socialize with?? Who needs the grief of hanging out with hostile jerks? Most of us are comfortable in friendly, relaxed social situations with others, dear. I for one, hate socializing with people who are, confrontational and difficult. Frankly, it's a waste of time, isn't it? Perhaps, I misunderstood your posting but... I'm trying to figure out why you would think this was a weakness? Because it certainly isn't. I think it's a strength to discriminate who is good for your life. A lot of people don't do that. Choosing carefully, just means you make happier, more intelligent choices for whom you socialize with. Don't worry about this..always strive to hang out with friends who are positive, happy, confident and build you up--not tear you down. Life just seems sooo much nicer and worry free when one uses their head and discerns bad friends from good friends.
