Sometimes you hang out with people so much you feel like without them your life will be pretty empty. You won't have people to go out with, you won't have company. Then with that fear in you, you then try to fit into the group, doing what they do, trying to gain acceptance. Sometimes, in all that trying, letting go of some of your principles that make you who you are.

That sounds serious. It sounds like you just made a wrong decision. But in reality, we all go through this without actually knowing it. The compromises we make seem so insignificant compared to something like smoking, or drinking, or clubbing, but they are, nonetheless, compromises made to join a group. Of course some of these compromises made are good, but there will also be those that will create grey areas in your life.

But there will never be a right or wrong answer when it comes to issues like these I guess, but I just feel that we must know our principles, and find friends that fit our principles, rather than principles that fit our friends.
