My wife once told my friend's wife - "You can really tell a lot about a person by the friends they have....and Mike's friends are great people." Unfortunately for her, I'm at the bottom of the list of qualities when it comes to myself and my long-term friends
Unfortunately, these are people I grew up with who are all in different states, now. As for "local" friends - I really don't have too many. I have plenty of acquaintances, but I do not tend to lend myself to developing actual friendships. The qualities I like? People who have standards and integrity. I don't have time for backstabbing....or insincere personalities. I like a "friend" who will tell me when I'm full of shit. I can't stand sheep.
BUT...the people I tend to attract? People who have huge insecurities and massive problems in their lives. People who are barely held together at the seams. Even those people who appear to be strong.....without fail...end up being nutcases. I have no idea why....but it is a family trait. I think it has something to do with having a twisted personality of my own.
I also see a lot of posts on here about "friends" who suck the life out of everyone.
so - what kinds of qualities do your "friends" tend to have?

but we always got our job finished. They actually started pairing us up in the jewelery department because they knew that if they put us in diffenent department's we would just be talking the whole time anyways. After I quit to start dancing we stopped talking because she did not agree with my decision to start dancing.
I believe you Dottie and you have my support
