I have this friend - we'll call her "Sally." Sally's not the most well-liked girl; she has a lot of friends, but most of them are not the type I'd normally hang out with. She seems to be most friendly with the girls who like to gossip and say nasty things about others. But the thing is, she's super nice and friendly to me (to my face, anyway), and Jericho loves playing with her kids.
Sally plays a "leadership" kind of role here, so it would be difficult to avoid her. I'm always careful about who I associate myself with because it reflects on my husband as well. I'm just not quite sure what to think.
What do you say?
Do you avoid making friends with a certain person because of who they associate with?
Do you give them a (careful) chance to see if you "click?"
I think I'd still be friendly with her, but unless you feel really comfortable about being good friends with her, I'd probably refrain. That's just my two cents though and certaintly not the course of action I'd expect you to take!
ReplyDeletethat's a tough one. it does remind me of high school, sadly, but there are many people (mainly girls, i never have these problems with guys) that like to gossip and cause drama. the same ones who claim to hate drama, mind you. anyway, i have a very small group of friends at this point in my life, in order to stay as far away from drama as possible. i've had enough of it in my short 27 years and have no desire for any more. if someone seems catty, i avoid her. end of story! :)
