I believe that the people you surround yourself with will play a part in your personality, whether you want them to or not. How many times have you not found a phrase through a friend, or a friend of a friend? How many times do you not laugh at their jokes, or them to you? How many times do you allow them to filter joy and sorrow into your life? In a less convoluted sense ... Those with a good sense of boundary and identity will not see their friends as reflections of themselves but rather tethers to connection that their heart desires and festers. Those with a lack of boundary and instability will see their friends as a reflection of themselves. The healthier you are, the more you can be friends with people of different opinions and know which circuses you wish to run.
I'm someone who acts the same with all people, incapable of a filter ... So, I must set more boundaries in place to ensure that nothing permeates my brain that may disease it. But overall, I believe the person makes the environment rather than the opposite.
Not really. Its nuanced, If you are friends with a bunch Of bigots for example you are Simply enabling them and Are terrible like them. However more simple topics Like stupid online discourse? Not so much. Its very Common for people to Slap meaningless labels onto people purely because of the people They hang around. No, you are not a "Technically a Proshipper" because your friend Likes okegom. No, you are not "Technically an antishipper" because Your friends Dont want to see content of "illegal" ships. Its so Silly
I think it does, at least for me. If you surround yourself with toxic people that will influence you in some kind of way even if you don't want to or are unaware of it.
oomfs are proshippers and stupid so by i am too proxy (this is a joke pls don't shoot me). i don't actually think they do unless you're really easily swayed ? since in friendships youre often presented other opinions n such so. sorry im stupid as hell feel free 2 correct me
I think the people I surround myself with greatly influence me but that may just be BPD
