3. ABSENTEE BENEFICIARY a.k.a Ghost-worker
Never keep friends who just claim to be friends for friendship sake, if they aren't contributing to your life, they are not your friends, contributions range from ideas, positive advice, showing up when you invite them etc.

If they are always full of excuses not to turn up for you, never call you, but only pop in once in a blue moon to ask you a favour when they need something, eliminate them from your life.

They are the kind that would disappear for 5 years not a single call, ignore your dms on social media, only to remember you when you make it big, or when they are about to get married and they need someone to be their best man, maid of honour, or when they want to launch a book and need someone to sponsor for their event.

When you spot this kind, only conduct dealings with them as you would with a business client, they are not truly your friends.

I'm really not complaining about her greedy friends ripping her of the little she got, i saw already from the way she sounds that she is a very bitter, wicked, heartless and a very lonely person, go through her post that i quoted and u will agree with me 100%, she sounds so bitter nd definitely she must be a wicked nd heartless somebody, trust me on this

Highlight the parts where she sounded bitter and heartless. There's nothing bitter about what she wrote, it's totally relatable.

This thing is fake..
I have a lot of friends who smoke, play gambles yet am not doing any of it.. Friends do not determine your future.. It's a personal decision to succeed or fail in life...

You're the only one making sense on this thread, my friends are not to determine what becomes of me, but my decisions and choices I made determines.

I grew up in a ghetto, a very dangerous and notorious place anymore could grow up, but if I don't tell people I'm from that street or environment they wouldn't believe. even those I told still doubt, cuz of my kind of person.

our decisions and choices determine what becomes of us, not friends we Associate with

5. GREEDY LEACH
My favourite on this list, these kind of friends constantly put weights on you and if you aren't careful would hang all their responsibilities on you for the rest of your life. Now it's important i explain this in more detail.

There are people who have run into some problems and genuinely need your help, I am not referring to those people.

I'm talking about those greedy lot who constantly feel they are entitled to everything you have. They won't work, even when you try to find them something to do, they would always come back for more, they are always begging.

They are the kind that would have 100 million and still beg you that have only 20k for money. They are never satisfied.

The danger with these kind of people is that they wont hesitate to sell you out if it would benefit them.

Lalasticlala

I once had a parasite for a friend, typical lagosian, always begging but with arrogance and pride. This individual once rang me from Nigeria to ask when my salary would be paid, long story short, we are no longer friends.
His first name is Omololu and he's a Fvcking Parasite.

I went to boys boarding school during my secondary school days and 80% of my classmates were gay.. But I didn't become one. Everything in life is based on personal decision..

If you read the post closely you would see it doesn't mention people who try to influence you to become like them, that is a different category of friendship and their influence would be subject to your approval.

The people mentioned here are those who naturally work against your success. Whatever vices a friend has doesn't influence their intent towards you, you can't 100% control the kind of people you attend school with or that live in your area, but as you get older in life you have to be more careful the kind of people you bring into your inner circle. There are smokers who work in Microsoft, the prime minister of Ireland is gay, however it is the character of the friend towards you that matters and that this post tries to address.

Okay, but yes I think it does determine your future to some point, it doesn't matter what they choose to be but if the friends are like the ones in the post, they still affect your future.

Having a criminal as a friend may seem like nothing, you might even casually hang out with them and buy them drinks at a local bar. They aren't trying to convince you to become a criminal and that's alright. But it makes a lethal combination if they happen to be one of these types too, For instance if they are type number 5 and they ask you for money but you refuse, don't be shocked when you get robbed by unknown fellows. Same friends, if they are type number 2 could name you as part of the syndicate in a failed bank robbery attempt they masterminded without you, even though you never held a gun in your life.

So point is, they could be a problem to your future if you keep the wrong kind. Perhaps that's what he was referring to.

4:malicious gossip.oh my gush!,this is the gospel truth. They are everywhere, in workplaces you find them, they are quick to raise false alarms about people, they are crafty in nature and make people to believe the lies they tell against you. They use their tongue to cause commotion and try to make you loose respect,they disturb your leisure time with gossips about people who haven't wrong ypu, They portray a lot of negative attitude, you can't name it all.
To me,this sets of people use their tongue to kill faster than a bullet.

This is where individual difference comes to play. We all are different wired and as thus, same model can't work on all of us. Some set of people are easily influenced, while some aren't.

Another food for thought, always make friends who are better than you, richer and more intelligent.. Those who have visions in life. No matter how self sufficient you claim to be, there will come a time in your life when you'll need a hand to hold, a hand that helps you back up.

That's the reason the network of a rich man is filled with rich people... Whenever they fall, there will be someone, ready to bring him back up..

SHALOM!
