The propagating influence of friendship

It is interesting to observe how people who hang out together (either physically, or logically) tend to embrace each other's quirks.

You want to like new genres of music? You want to watch a new flavour of movies? You want to go to a new kind of places? A new operating system perhaps? :-)

If you wish to change something in your lifestyle, one of the easiest ways to do that is to meet new people. Friendships are so powerful, it's fascinating!

p.s. I wonder what happens to those who befriend me.

I wonder what happens to those who befriend me.

BUT, friend’s influence adds not only the good things you’ve listed above, but the bad one’s too and the principle is the same.
