Tell me your friends and i'll tell who you are.

Well i think it is true is some ways, because when you want to be friends with them forever you are have something in common with them but you just cannot show the real you for it is not easy to reveal your true identity. It takes a lot of effort and selfconfidence to show the real you specially the bad personality you have.

Generally that is the way things go. If you spend time with bad eggs, and everyone sees you with bad eggs, they will assume that you are a bad egg. If you're with John, Bob, and Billy, and they're all laughing and cutting up about how they stole something a few days ago, and you're feeling left out, odds are the next time they're planning a heist (or whatever) you'll get involved. People do what they're reinforced to do by their surroundings. Like when children curse around their friends but not their parents or grandparents. They get rewarded by laughs or approval from friends, and reprimanded by parents.

This reminds me of the song that goes: "One evening in October, when I was one-third sober, An' taking home a ‘load' with manly pride; My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter, And a pig came up an' lay down by my side; Then we sang ‘It's all fair weather when good fellows get together,' Till a lady passing by was heard to say: ‘You can tell a man who "boozes" by the company he chooses' And the pig got up and slowly walked away." Friends can often be sorted from 'acquaintances' by how each will react when one is in a bad way (not necessarily drunk). A friend will always help first (and maybe criticise after); an acquaintance will pontificate first ... and then tell someone else to call the ambulance.

I was never been with bad influence people or a bad influence friends. :) For I also not sure if I'll do same things. My friends are not perfect either, we have our own personality, nevertheless, it does not make me changed for who truly I am. :)
