Do you think self esteem affects the friends you pick? All opinions wanted!?!
Question: Well, This is an easy free 2 points since there is no real right answer.
But, I was just thinking the other day, do people pick friends the same way they might pick a spouse. By what "league" they fall into.
Have you ever had a friend, and then a few years into it, you can't even remember why you two were friends in the first place? Maybe its was because you were new in school, or trying to be nice...but now you realize you two have nothing in common and they hold you back in life. Things like this.
People just assume that a friend is always a friend, but if it was a significant other I was talking about everyone would be jumping all over it. So it just makes me wonder. What’s your view on this? Do you think people out grow their friends? Or pick friends that they feel will make them look better?

I don't think we necessarily pick our friends at all. I think we become friends with people based on factors that we have in common at a given time. It may be as simple as a shared class and sense of humor, or being on the same team. It's not like we see someone at the mall and pick them out the way we do a pair of shoes.
We do outgrow our friends sometimes. Just like we outgrow our significant others. That's why it is so important to keep growing with our spouses. That's a lifetime commitment unlike any other we make.
Self esteem and MANY many many other things about you.. determines that!!
some people are just meant to meet!!
