I am drawn to people who are individuals. The trouble is, a lot of people who are individuals (stand out from those around them, don't follow the herd) have a problem with authority, for various reasons.
The individualistic friends I still have are
-doctor (just finished her residency and boards)
-a woman in law school, with 2 kids
-a record producer, small label
-an IT administrator, and new father
-a website designer
The individualistic friends I had to get away from...
-ex-stripper on drugs living off some guy she met on the net
-30 yr old pot addict living with his parents
-lesbian who has no respect for straight people, and doesn't understand why 'society hates her'
-39 yr old who is cheating her way through a bachealor's degree in chemistry
Big difference, eh?
So what kind of friends are YOU drawn to, and how has it worked out?
Hood,I seem to be drawn to people that will stab me in the back.My wife left me for another man(good riddance).My best bud(cousin) is now best buds with my exe wifes new lover.They all say I need to get over it,well I am over it,but I cannot retain my dignity by being friends with these types of people
