Does anyone makes friends based on their character?

Post Reply New Topic

I am more asking about NTs than people with AS.

It just doesn't seem to matter how someone treats other people or acts.

They will be friends with someone based on how the other person acts with them.

When I am around people with bad character, I feel uncomfortable around them no matter how they
act towards me.

Am I sensitive?

the few times i made friends were based on numerous factors including how they treated people and animals. frequently, i avoid people when i've seen signs of bad treatment/disrespect for others.

I remember being told by an online friend that idiots tend to hang out with other idiots so yeah I guess.

To some degree, humans are self segregating.

i prefer avoiding loudmouthed people, crooks and manipulative people

Read the book emotional ntelligence and then tell me people dont judge people on character

Alright, I'm an NT. I'm pretty outgoing myself. My brother had many student peers with Aspergers.

Right off the bat, a person's character is the last thing noticed. Clothes, attractiveness, likes, and conversation are what is noticed.

Character is the basis for how people maintain friendships. You're more likely to remain friends or become close friends with someone of good character.

So, yes and no.

OP: you're not sensitive, but you are very cautious, which is a good thing. I've learned recently that it's wise to not form any type of connection with someone you initially get a "bad vibe" from as you will end up hating them even more.

not necessarily, you just have high standards. that's good!

I've "got" AS, not an NT, BUT, the way and only way I choose friends is on character.

If one has seemingly little, or no, character then I don't even consider being friends with them.

Of course, I don't have that many friends, but what friends I do have are very valuable to me, thank God for them and all He has given me and mine.
