i do choose my friends...but we are meeting people everyday with different personality. How do you treat people who wants to be just your friends? Do you have any criteria before you became friendly to them? i have many friends but not all are real...share me your thoughts on this.

To some extent yes, I choose my friend. I just don't trust anyone right away. It takes more time of keen observation and self-reflection if both of us are worthy of our friendship. Well, in the process I will treat him/her nicely but never tell him/her yet my whereabouts and stuffs pertaining to anything or anyone around me. There should be a certain gap or wall that I'll build until I can feel that I know him better already. Well, I don't say that after this I am sure that I get a perfect friend but at least if he turned out the different way, I can console myself not to feel stupid because I tried to do my best to at least know him more. In todays, world it is very difficult to distinguish who are true and who are "fake".

What I mean to say is I will not lay down all my cards to him like the details of my whereabouts until I know him better...he'll know my first name and the city where I live but never the exact street or something like that...hehehe

yeah, you are right. We can make friends to everyone but only few can be trusted, so, just being careful is really advisable. Thanks Marie!

I actually dont choose my friends. They just happen. Like for instance I started work at a new place and just made friends with all my colleagues there. I didnt choose who to make friends with out of them. These things just happen..your in a group of people and just get along with a few of them and they become your friends. Its not at all a conscious effort for me.

Just like what i've told to Marie, we can make friends to everyone...nothing wrong on that. But we have to remember that not everyone can be your real friend. Only few can be trusted and we will know that as days went on. So, keep on being friendly to everyone but never give your full trust yet. Have a great day!

Yes, I think I choose my friends. But I think it only count for best friends. If it is only to chat or talk about few things basically I always open to every one. Like here in mylot, we also chat with each other and become friends. But not as a best friend
