I have heard that when you hang out with people, or, your friends that you take on traits of them. I love (most) of my friends, but, honestly I wouldn't want to be like them, or have mostly any of their traits.....does anyone think that's true?
I would hate for you to think that I am arrogant in saying this, but I am not the one to take the traits from friends. My friends (or aquantainces) are usually the ones that pick up my traits. I think it's really cool that this happens though, the people I hang out with are a lot more peaceful for this.
My friends and I have more of a "trait-switching" attitude - like we all tend to get traits of the others. It may be something subtle (like attitudes and behaviour) or not so subtle (like the whole "your mum" saga - don't ask). Generally, you don't notice it at first, and it can happen whether you want it to or not.
I don't really pick up alot of "traits", but I've noticed that people will pick up words I say often, like "That's crazy!" or "Fucking insane!" I notice other people, like friends I have'nt known that long(as opposed to my long time friends) saying it though.
I have noticed some of my friends picking up traits of mine too, but, i'm just worried of one friend in particular, i love her, but, i wouldn't want any of her traits............................................
Hahaha... I know how you feel sometimes... That's how I feel about my friend josh... speaking of which... I don't think I've seen him in a month now.
If you are so worried about it, then don't pick up her traits that you dislike. You do naturally do this, but it isn't like you can't overcome it. I know that I, personally, have to work not to become as gossipy as my best friend. That is one trap I think is easy to fall into. However, if you don't want to do something then you don't have to do it.
