The ancient Greek poet Euripides said: "Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are." Centuries later, people still evaluate those around them by their social circle. Therefore, parents are often afraid that their child will fall into bad company. An adult needs to consciously form a social circle, since the environment affects the quality of life.
Instructions
Step 1
To find the right company, you need to understand what you want out of life. It is worth communicating with those people with whom you can take an example.
Step 2
Every person has an environment from birth - this is a family, neighbors, relatives, classmates. Having matured, he himself can choose with whom to continue communication, and with whom his paths diverge.
Step 3
Psychologists recommend not to avoid people who are different from you in age. This means that it is necessary to form a social circle not only from peers, but also from children and the elderly too.
Step 4
Firstly, the environment of different ages gives invaluable experience, increases communication skills, and liberates. A person who knows how to find a common language with people much older or younger than himself will be more successful both in his career and in his personal life.
Step 5
Second, dealing with old people and children teaches responsibility and compassion. People who are sympathetic to older relatives set a positive example for their children, so they are less likely to remain lonely in old age.
Step 6
Finally, communication with children makes a person more open, friendly and cheerful. Anyone who has opened his heart for children looks at life with optimism, which means that he is less likely to suffer from depression.
Step 7
But how do you find the right company among your peers? It's even easier here. When entering a university, people often encounter like-minded people. Sometimes these bonds become permanent for life if former classmates become colleagues and friends of the family.
Step 8
In addition, a social circle is formed not only from pleasant people, but also from useful ones. For example, medical professionals, hairdressers, teachers, etc. Why not make friends with a good doctor and introduce him to your environment, if it can be both beneficial and enjoyable.
Step 9
Forming a social circle, you need to not only choose the people you like, but also get rid of unpleasant personalities. These include: whiners, critics, energy vampires, etc.
Step 10
It is unlikely that communication with a person who is constantly dissatisfied with something can be called pleasant. And there can be no question of benefit. Whiners are like ticks - clinging to the victim, they suck out all the juices from it, feeding on them, while not intending to change anything in their fate.
Step 11
Energy vampires are very similar to whiners, who, in addition to complaints, are capable of unleashing a lot of aggression, negativity and reproaches on you. Their favorite pastime is to play people against each other, thus getting relief. If you notice an energy vampire in your environment, try to stop any contact with him as soon as possible.
Step 12
Critics are not the best company either. Especially if they themselves have not achieved anything in life, and are only engaged in putting sticks in the wheels of others.
