Do people judge you based off your friends?

I've heard that you can sometimes gauge who a person is deep down inside by talking with his or her friends. To be honest, I don't think I'm similar to my friends at all. Could people who talk to my friends first assume I'm exactly like them? I wouldn't want them to prejudge me without actually getting to know my character first. What do you think? Have you ever had an experience like this?

Ive never thought about being judged by my friends- but I have been by family members. Both are wrong reasons to judge someone in my opinion.

I know that a lot of people do try to find out about other people before they choose to become friends with them, and I suppose that talking to their friends might seem as though it is the easiest way to do this. The partner who I am with at the moment is somebody who I asked his friends about a lot before I chose to get with him because I didn't want to be with somebody who I just didn't know anything about. It worked in the long term because we are still together, so I don't think that trying to find things out about a person is always a bad thing.

People are judged by their friends! Laws read that way in alot of states too. If you are with someone when they commit a crime you are as much in trouble as they are. Prejudging happens all the time. You walk into a party with a noisy, obnoxious freind and people will shy away from both of you. It is just common nature.

We do have to be careful whom we choose to be around with. I think who we are can really be affected by those who are around us or your friends. We may not be exactly the same as our friends; but others can still judge us in general based on whom we hang around with.

Everybody is unique and I think we should not be judged by who our friends are.I can justify also that I am not similar with those of my friends.Yes, we are together always, hang out together, but it doesn't mean also that we are similar in attitudes and views in life.We just understand each other's differences that's why we are together.
