What are your standards in chossing your own friends?! Hmmm, I always look at people around me and there is a very small precenatge of them I'd like to have as friends and that's only for one reason... it's them being themselves when am there... OK, there was this one time I went to see a friend of mine from school days and her new Uni friends were there I just couldn't fit in, I couldn't buy the ideas and the things they were talking about it seemed like I was coming from another era and meeting a totalley new diffirent nation to the one I know or at least knew! I tried to talk or listen to what they were talking about and I ended up leaving the place after 20mints I believe :think: I just felt like I was sitting with stupid people.

Ok, if you are to change you normal company in life as in your friends wouldn't you just go for the bright people or is that harsh? Is it bad if you isolate yourself for one reason and it's I'm more comfortable at my place...:shy: Am not saying I'm shy but I'm saying am bored. I wonder what you people wuld say about it.

You're right, If ur friends are fakes when ur with them, it can show & you wouldn't like it. Stay with ur real friends as much as u can, because they understand you ( Your jokes, the subjects you open with them ) They woudn't think ur stupid because they know you, it wouldnt even come to their mind that what you're talking about is stupid or pointless.

hehe I have been in ur place before Charm ;)

It takes time to find someone interesting for you to hang with

No matter how 'stupid' your friend may be, as long as he's there for you in the bad times and is happy with you in the good ones and you can just ease up and tell him everything when you're feel like you're being choked, that's a true friend and someone who you should never give away easily.

True friends are rare in this age. Friendship never really depends on the mind. I have friends who get horrible grades, yet they're the most compassionate of people. Does that make them stupid? In my eyes, no. On the contrary, if I feel my friend is facing any diffculty whether mentally or in studies, I should rush to help him or her instead of just abandoning him because he didn't 'fit' my mental level.

as much as I love bright people... there's more to friendship than that, in fact brightness is not an aspect that determines friendship to me.... I prefer a loyal medium intelligent friend than a smart betraying backstabber.
I'd rather not judge people for their brain capacities but rather for their goodness. A girl/guy who may not be known as that bright yet show a loyal and respectful attitude are better friends to me than the brightest people I know, and it's only that quality that makes me appreciate them.

Well, It's what you want, when you move to another place and start a new life. For example studying abroad, you would sure want to find people like you, the same background, speak the same language and have the same beliefes.

Choosing friends depends on what you want in a friend. Could be easy, could be hard.

I agree with you. If I went abroad to a different culture, I'd look for the same thing.

I would look for someone who's around my level of intelligence - not overly ignorant and not someone so brilliant that they're completely out of my league.

I don't think I could find any interest in someone who doesn't have a good background of education, good manners, knows some general knowledge etc..

I have bright friends and I have not so bright friends, and I spend WAY more time chatting and so on with the brighter ones. I guess it's because I have more in common with them and I just don't feel motivated enough in the company of someone who is simple.

Loyalty in friendship has nothing to do with how clever they are. So I just make sure they're all good friends to start off with.

i dont care how stupid my friend is ....
aslong as she's cool and funny and not boring and i can trust her and i knw that she trusts me
then she's a very good friend :)

It's quite funny that some don't mind being around stupid people I find it a bit wired to be honest.. I don't under estimate people but I try and see thier true colours and I still seem to be struggling don't get me wrong and say she is a real shallow person... A bright person is bright with everything they he/she does, you never get bored with them and you can share alot they listen to you.... it's all of these stuff... I think I'm just dreaming in away:bored:

I don't really choose my friends, I just feel very blessed because I am flexible and I can hang out with ANYONE! Stupid, dumb, harsh .. any kind :D

i really dont think its a good idea to choose your friends just because they are bright. One may be bright but may also be dishonest mean and all that.And at the same time vice versa.I usually just look at the personality of the person.m not really bothered about them being bright or not cause real friendship has nothing to do with it.Stick with somone who is there for you and cares for ya:)

well, friends are ppl you can trust and like to hang out with..ppl who'll be there for you if needed..

im an anti-social to be honest so i would talk and hang out with ppl but to be friends with like "FRIENDS" with someone..i'm not sure i can do that yet :shy:

maybe i should stop looking for the perfect friend and just chill with the ppl around and try to understand :shy:

P.S: i'm not sure if this input is related to what you're talking about dear..im just blabbering :cutexD:

it's hard to pick good friends..most (not all) of the girls i know are just not my type for a friend..they just use me and ask me this and want this and want that and please please...i am too nice sara7a (honestly) so it get's me in situations that i regret..i have a few GOOD friends and it wasnt easy..and you have to know that you shoudnt tell all your secrets because that's how girls are..they just talk talk talk behind your back..you think you may know someone but you dont....people claim that they are my "friends" but is a friend really a friend when you cant even spare 10 f-ing baisa to send 'happy eid' ..i mean is it too much to ask?? i spend so much money on sending text messages to them and it's like they can't even return the politeness??? uffffffffffffff...some people just get on my nerves..ok.in that case i will be EXTRA carefull in getting near people..no more miss nice girl! ..hahah..well, of course i'll still be nice but you know what i mean!

warm heart in a friend is more important to me than her intelligance!
