Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are

Before i do believe in that... But as times goes by, my belief about that changed. Because, i never committed things like drinking, smoking, stealing or even killing yet i have friends who do or had done such things. We are friends not because i do the same or i spoil them, we became friends because they needed me.. because they needed someone to pray and help them thru counseling or advices or simply needed a friend. I remember even Jesus' Disciples were not good people, yet He chose them because He believes in them. And i do believe there's nothing wrong if you have bad friends.. Its an opportunity actually. :) Just my thought! have a good day!

No, I haven't heard anything like that, but I SO agree! Of course, my friends are all weirdos, so guess what that makes me?

My friends are lovely and easy to get along with. I don't really like such kind of people who is really arrogant. For girls are positive and love to laugh,i think bunch of persons loves life and always with better life.By the way, i also heard of this sentence.

We also have that saying but our actual words are, "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are." They are just the same. Just like the saying that goes, "Birds of the same feathers flock together." I have the same thoughts as yours.

That's true, you know. A group of people will frequently hang out together if they share the same interest. For example, if they all like rock music, you can expect what type of people you will deal with.

Hi Kostas! That's a very good expression. It's been around from at least 1828 and is said to be a Spanish proverb, or so I read. We have a similar saying - "Birds of a feather flock together". Although I like yours better.

Hi KOSTAS, It is very true that you can tell a lot about a person from knowing his friends. Blessings.

I've never heard of this before, but it is very true. Same as if you are around negative people, your attitude reflects that. If you around nice generous people you reflect that as well.

A good friend is as good as a mirror,he will reflect you as you are and help you to correct yourself,whether you like it or not.Others who crowd around you will be sycophants,and they will desert you when you are in trouble.

Certainly really like it, I think someone would treat other people how to treat us. But if one is a good guy, even though he would still be nice.

My Mm used to tell us this saying all the time while we were growing up, "Show me your friends & I'll tell you who you are." It meant that if you hang out with a bad crowd even though you yourself might be a good person if your seen with such people then you will also be know as such a person.
