I for one I'm not a man of the crowds, I'm often, very quiet and reserved I rarely speak out cause whenever I want to I'd be laughed at, so that alone kept me in my shell.
my personality affects the kind of friends that I keep, if I walk into a place and that's new to me. I'd just lay low and observe my environment, I rarely speak till I'm familiar and comfortable
I am neither an introvert or an extrovert I can be any depending on my environment, the situation and the circumstances at that moment I am someone that loves to get comfortable before I express my self out, I love to be me in every way possible because I consider self respect and my personality first and very important
about my friends do I allow fate bring us together or do I set standards to who I relate with?
well I really have a set of rules and standards to who I call my friends, I have a definition to who a friend is, the scriptures says two can never walk together except they agree, another scripture says that in the company of the wise there is wisdom, but a companion of fools will be destroyed... I don't just go about following anybody or allow any body influence me so
Because of that I filter my friends through their actions, their words, deeds, behavioral patterns, somehow I'm able to detect a person's IQ level through all of these, characters if any do not fit in well with me I can't keep that connection, we can talk and relate but on just a surface level....
through life experience i have learnt to understand that people are not the same , we're all wired differently, so i don't expect everyone to behave like me, especially when I'm academically sound and the other is not that will not make me discriminate them or set my self so high they can't reach me, but what I do is that I relate with everyone depending on their own personality however not allowing that affects my own person, so I'm able to relate with anyone at arms length depending on who they are however i can also bring them very close if they truly aligns with my personality, set of values and my standards.
