I Can Be Friends With People Totally Different From Me

it's great receiving friend requests, but recently the calibre of the more recent ones can I say have been ...eerm.....very different to what I normally receive, lol.

I mean we add others because we maybe 'see' something in them that...

Being from a small community, growing up with a very sheltered childhood.....I kind of broke out when I got grown up.
 I met all sorts of people in my life's experiences, and you look close enough you see good in everyone...

Just because you're different from me, that doesn't have a thing to do with us being friends. All my life I've never really "belonged" to any one group because I've always had friendships outside of it that the others in the group just...

I have always found it easy to make friends with people different from me. Outside of my family, most of my friends have been settled people, which is somewhat unusual for a Traveller. When I was in school, one of my best friends was a...

I've met a lot of different people with different race, background, age, and personalities. And it's their unique personalities and experiences that I embrace the most. Though I don't have many close friends, I do have a lot of friends...

I saw this group in random and just had to join. I am friends with a lot of people who are different from me in many areas in life.

I was born with half a brain but yet I am friends with people who have whole brains. Even though I was...

People, entities, and objects are just different right?But in order for us to like something and call it "good" ithas to be something we want to see, hear, smell, taste, or feel.We want what is external to us to mold itself after us in...

I learned a few years ago when I accidentally added someone who was into some very strange things (on my scale of strange), that there is sometimes more to people than the profile, stories and groups reveal.

I'm an oddball. The proverbial square peg, as it were.

I love all kinds of people. I don't care about race, color, creed, sexuality, religion, politics or any of the various labels we human being define ourselves by.

I love the...

It's always good to have friends who are completely different from you. You learn more things and do more things. There is nothing wrong with having a group of friends who have more in common with you, I mean you'll feel maybe more...

It would be a very dull and boring world to live in if everyone was the same. That's why everyone is different  to make the world a better place for each other. They make your life a little brighter each day.

Milly and I were roomates. I was in eight grade boarding school, sent far away to new york. the head mistress, Miss Silverstein was (i was so sure at the time) to make me hate the school. she gave me the worst room, but not for long...

well most of my friends are different from me..

well yeah, most of them are not totally different but some of them are..

At first, I used to wonder how that is actually possible, becoming friends with someone who you can't even agree...

I don't care if you're different than me as long as you are respectful of me and don't go around discriminating against others just because they are different. As long as you are friendly and your beliefs don't hurt anyone or drag them...

Thanks to EP, I know that I can love a fervent Christian, an avowed Republican, people who are wealthy...
EP has really granted me the opportunity to care for someone before ferreting out the ways that we differ. And it's a blessing...

For some reason I can't seem to enjoy being around "average" or "normal" people, the kind you find in the suburbs who go about the same boring routine everyday and are perfectly content with it. That just doesn't seem like living to me...

I have a friend, Jayne, who went to my primary school. We've known each other since we were 3-4 years old, about 10 years. We parted ways going to different secondary schools. We still talk and see each other, just not very often. She's...

in my life I have had several good women friends...but have always maintained that I would hate to live in a society where the men and women are basically segregated...then I went to prison...and in my ten years there I made wonderful...

I am a Christian and my faith means a lot to me.
Yet, I have friends from all sorts of backgrounds... Atheists, Agnostics, Muslims, Baha'i, Sikh. Because I believe people can be friends even if they disagree on some things. Sadly, when...

It doesn't matter if you're religious, black, tan, yellow, brown, pink, purple, straight, lesbian, or gay.
If you're mentally, physically, or emotionally disabled - It doesn't make a difference to me.
Whether you're obese, thin...
