I have very few friends because I choose to keep my close groupd very secluded. The good part is that I always known who to trust. When I'm around people who are close to my friends, but not necessarily to me, I always try to be friendly even if they dislike me. Of course, I tend to wind up in arguements with them a lot. If there is someone I usted to be friends with, but no longer am (as in hate), I always avoid them. However, if it's a bully or someone stuck-up and popular, I'm not afraid to barge into conversations and call them out every now and then. This normally only works because I seem to be a pretty good judge of character (I THINK). For example, there's thig girl who's positively PERFECT. She's a bit egotistical, but I always had the feeling that knowing her could be nice. We aren't close, but I still like her. Turns out I was generally right. However, there are other girls that I seem toa utomatically know to stay away from. Take the msot popular girl in my school for example (don't see what guys like in her, she has NO figure), she's really quiet, but is really mean in a more subtle fashion.
Anyways, off topic. Generally, I'm very quiet when not around my friends or not standing up against bullies (but this doesn't mean the bullying doesn't hurt).
