Yes and I have friends that suit my particular activities, like being in different circles. I try to be diverse because I used to keep only a handful of friends. Later, I realized that, as I grew older, I tend to stagnate myself because my circle of friends are as conservative as I am. And so, by being in different circles, I learned a lot, I moved on faster, and I am able to reach out to more people. But I choose my circles, and in each circle, there is one or a few whom I dearly cherish.

Yes we have the right to choose our friends we wanted to be, i know there are many things to keep in mind when choosing people to consider as friends. I find friends with we are similar interest and it is important to surround our self with positive people who genuinely want to continue the better and happier in our life. I want friends that can satisfy many of my needs , that someone that i can share my joy and happiness, the person that cheer us in times of sadness and the friend that can be trusted...

I don't know how to say this. I do really what to make friends with different sorts of people regardless of race and status in life. However, I do choose which people I'd rather be close with. If during that "getting-to-know-each-other" stage I notice that the person is not someone who is honest and loyal, I don't really get close to them. I consider the person's qualities because I am afraid that I'll be close to people who are bad influence. I make friends with everyone but I don't get close to just anyone.

I have learned to choose the friends where we can help each other and we both have pleasure of each others company. I have learned to weed out those who dont appreciate my time and just try to use me for thier own purpose - because that aint real friendship.

i do choose my friend. cause i want a good friend not a bad friend. i want them beside me when i'm up and down, not just when i'm up. these days are so hard to get a good friend, but i still believe there is a lot of good guys out there. so i can get new and good friend anywhere. i hope you get too.

Yes I choose a friend. My friend should be - humorous, with a good heart, good personality and talkative.

I'm not choosy when it comes to people whom I can be a friend with BUT I am very careful to whom I will become close to. We could not trust all people whom we deal with every now and then and become their friends, strangers as they are we have to know for quite a long time before we come to the point of deciding that this person is indeed trustworthy. To this, we need to value those old friends we have and we know for life. Have a great day !

I could accept others as a friend if they treated me as friend as well as long as we are in good terms. But of course when you found out that he/she have done something strange of course it is time for me to choose if I would deny that person or not. Honestly I have my friend before whom I don't treat her a friend right now because of the past. Of course it is easy to say and think that past is past but it is hard to forget the things that he/she have done as could affect the relationship as friend it could also a mark of having impression on that person.

Generally if you ask me most friendships happen by mistake only. But not all are mistakes. Sometimes one just wants someone who can understand some other person so that's why we need and we make friends. But when having to choose friends that becomes difficult because one can't really say which friend to choose. People are judged not by their looks but by their attitude and character and that one can come to know by spending some personal time with such people. Cheers!

Because friends influence very much to our life. So I think that we must choose careful when we make friend with certain person.

i don't like people like you discribe, there is a old saying"friend inneed is a friend indeed" the one give you help when you are in trouble is truefriend. the one make friends with you just for himself is unreliable.

our friends all started as strangers at first.. time flies and long before you know it, the so called strangers become our friends.. but only our chosen few becomes part of our life.. as said, only few will stick to you through our darkest hour and those who stayed lift you up and listens.. it really pays to have good friends that you can count on and trust. in return we ourselves are there for them too....
