After completing your school education, you are now going to be admitted to the university. In this new path, along with choosing the right subject and college, it is important to choose the right friends, because they affect your personality.
Schools are over, now you have to choose the right college and subject to make your career. In school, the entire class used to be your friend, but now this is not going to happen in a job or college. You must have often seen in school that if your best friend stood first in the class, then everyone kept an eye on you that you would also be like that. Therefore, whenever you got low marks in a test or exam, the teacher would tell you to 'learn something from him' or would tell you to 'teach him something too.'
Now a new journey of your life is about to begin. In such a situation, how are your friends, with whom you hang out, this will also affect your personality. For this, you might have started getting advice from home, friends, and elders that 'Friend circle should be good, otherwise, you will have no respect.' Our society looks at a friend circle with our personality and says That is, 'Good friends mean good personality, bad company means bad personality.' Now the question is, is this fear of everyone true and does the friend circle affect your personality?
How to make the right choice
Khushi was very good at mathematics, but all her friends wanted to go into the medical field, so she also chose medicine, while her parents wanted her to do engineering. As time passed, he started realizing his mistake. Now he regrets why he did not choose his path according to his heart. The people with whom you spend more time impact your behavior and sooner or later it starts appearing in your personality too. If you stay with good people, your behavior will improve. At the same time, the wrong company will not only spoil your behavior but will distract you from your goal. Even though Khushi had good company here, under the influence of her friends, she made a wrong choice, which she would have to realize for the rest of her life.
Lifelong companionship
Mrs. Sharma's daughter Reena is a wanderer. Whenever you look, she wanders here and there.” A woman from the society said. On this, the other woman sitting with her asked, “Why are you saying this? I don't think so?" Responding to his comment, the first woman said, “Haven't you seen his friend circle? All the street children of the society are his friends!” Many times people start judging you based on the behavior of your friends. In such a situation, friendship should always be done thoughtfully. Experts say that make good and true friends so that you can learn to move forward throughout life and choose such friends who will support you at every stage of life. This will keep you positive and feel that you have a backup support system, i.e. a friend bank.
No superstition
“Mahi, give me your notes for two days. I will return it to you before the exam.” When Mahi's friend asked for her notes, Mahi gave the notes. After he left, Mahi's mother explained, “It is good that you gave the notes to your friend, but it is not right to trust someone blindly. Now she has become your new friend. There is a new college. How do you know how true she is speaking?” It is right too. If your friendship is very old then it is a different matter, but if there is a new college and new friends, then there is a need to be a little suspicious and there is a need to be cautious.
Limits of trust
“I still remember, I used to have a friend in my college, Jeetu. He would often ask me to borrow money and say that he would return it soon, but it never happened.” When Meenal heard this from her mother, she looked at her with surprise and understood what she wanted to explain. In reality, it is good to have friends, but in today's time, there are many liars and deceivers. Therefore, it is not right to trust anyone blindly. It is also important for you to know what your friends do, and what is their family backgrounds.
Look at nature, not status.
“You know Mom, today a famous blogger has also been admitted to my college. I made friends with him today itself. Now see, how soon I too will become famous like him.” When Aanchal was telling her mother all about the first day of college, her elder sister also arrived there and said, “Don't choose friends because they are popular or because they are good-looking or because they are rich. And there are bloggers too. You should choose your friends wisely.” Aanchal's sister is right. You should think that your friendship should last for a long time and your friends should be able to explain to you the difference between right and wrong. It is not at all that he has got fame, so you will also get fame by being with him. You will get fame only due to your qualities.
As you age, your personality also changes. People usually confuse personality and behavior and make mistakes. Actually, there is a difference between these two. Personality is a long-term pattern, while behavior changes rapidly according to your company and environment. But if you stay in bad company for a long time, it will hurt both your personality and behavior, because according to research, company affects personality by about 50 percent. Wrong friends become a source of bad habits, which can have a direct impact on your future.
Friends give wings to the flight of dreams
Friendship is important because it helps us build relationships with people who share our values and interests, says Dr Varsha Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, Aryabhatta College, University of Delhi. Friends do not let us feel lonely and when we work towards living a purposeful life, our friends help us in that. They give us wings to fly our passion and dreams. They give us help and advice in difficult times.
Our friendships also enhance our mental health and happiness. We make human connections in our professional life and personal life. We can make friends with people temporarily, like at school, college, or work. However, some friendships last a lifetime, no matter where you meet that friend. They can also be found when we face challenges at work. Friends also serve to connect us with our values. The emotional support we get from our close friends keeps us from feeling dull in life. They inspire us and encourage us to overcome challenges.
