this would explain my lack of friends!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this statement because of all of my friends, we all mostly like the same things and act similarly.

# data[].attributes.body
its different for everybody

# data[].attributes.body
this could be true to a lot of people including myself so yes i think most people pick friends who have similar backrounds

# data[].attributes.headline
yes i think alot of people choose friends with the same background as them

# data[].attributes.subject

ISSIAH

# data[].attributes.body
I think this can be true but also not at the same time, i think it really just depends on who you want to be friends with

# data[].attributes.body
you can have any friends you want and it's your decision and your own choice who you trust but be wise about it : )

# data[].attributes.body
false you make friends on how well you get long background doesnt matter

# data[].attributes.body
Most people choose friends based on similarities, but its also nice to have friends that aren't similar. If you have friends that are different along with similar friends, you can learn from the different ones, to find more varieties of friends.

# data[].attributes.body
not all the time it is good to have friends that understand things but its not required

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like this statement isn't false but isn't true. It really just depends in the persons attitude. Like if they make fun of my interest they know I like for a reason then I wouldn't want to be around that atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people make pick friends who have a lot in common.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because i think most people would like to be friends with people they can get out of their comfort zone with.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because people become friends with others based on how they dress, how why act, how they can relate to them, and how comfortable they are around them

# data[].attributes.body
This is very true because people like to have things in common and like to feel comfortable with people as there friends.

# data[].attributes.body
This is actually very true people like to be friends with people who they feel safe with and cannot get out of their comfort zone to meet new friends with different personalities.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people make friends with others based off of personalities not looks .

# data[].attributes.body
yes
a lot of people choose friends with similar backgrounds

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, many people like friends who have things in common.

# data[].attributes.body
Not everybody does, but some people might want to relate really well with their friends. It all depends.

# data[].attributes.body
i disagree some people might not everyone i pick my friends on who i think i can trust

# data[].attributes.body
not always true i have friends who are very different then i am but i also have friends who are very similair to me

# data[].attributes.body
Some people may choose their friends like this, but some may not. Most people make friends based off of personalities, not backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't say so because people pick friends of of beliefs and similarities in who they are, not by their background.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people make friends based off of similarities in their personalities rather than their background.

# data[].attributes.body
People don't choose their friends because of their background. They choose them if they like them and because they both share a set of beliefs and things they can discuss.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people pick friends off of want the person is like not the backgrounds of a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be friends with anyone. If I have too, I will be friends with the lamp. Judging people by their looks is not cool.

# data[].attributes.body
no you pick friends by there personalities not because your similar

# data[].attributes.body
no

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because you should always pick friends based on their personality.

# data[].attributes.body
some people do not everyone

# data[].attributes.body
yes because they can relate with there friend.

# data[].attributes.body
yeah most people do but not everyone

# data[].attributes.body
Some people may, but I do not pick my friends based on their background because I don't feel that's fair.

# data[].attributes.body
for me i think this is true , but not always people do this some people dont let their background define who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
some people become friends with similar backgrounds, because they understand them better, but other people become friends with people based off of their personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Not everyone everybody picks friends based on a lot of reason and maybe people become friends through others so its not just based on backgrounds

# data[].attributes.body
I don't i become there friend and then i start learning about there background if they want me to know and if they have the similar background then cool.

# data[].attributes.body
not everybody

# data[].attributes.body
I dissagree cause I pick friends based on there personalitty

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree u make friends by there personality.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people do but not everybody

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because many people make friends based on personality and not background

# data[].attributes.body
Nope

# data[].attributes.body
Nah, usually I become friends with extroverts. They pretty much adopt me. (sometimes I just sit next to another person with social anxiety and we become friends.)

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly make friends at school, we all have different situations. I live in a house provided by my godmother's job with various other family members. My girlfriend lives in a trailer with her mom, brother, and sister. My best friend lives in an apartment with her mom, dad, and sister. So no not all friends have similar backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
Not all people do that because no one is the same and your background doesn't define you

# data[].attributes.body
i don't i pick people if i like them and we get along then i would be friends with them

# data[].attributes.body
no because i know me and some of my friends don't have similar backgounds

# data[].attributes.body
Some people do want a friend that they can relate to, but also want friends who make them happy?

# data[].attributes.body
Not really 🙃

# data[].attributes.body
mmmmmaaaayyybeeeee~(´_´)~

# data[].attributes.body
i think that teenagers experience some of the same issues.

# data[].attributes.body
not me

# data[].attributes.body
i do

# data[].attributes.body
not all the time

# data[].attributes.body
I mean idc

# data[].attributes.body
No, people have friends because they get along nicely.

# data[].attributes.body
No because its more interesting to know someone more different then you

# data[].attributes.body
I personally choice is both similar and not similar backgrounds, because it all depends on the person.

# data[].attributes.body
most people don't pick friends because of their background

# data[].attributes.body
i pick my friends off of what they do. like if they ride dirt bikes i might pick them. otherwise its off of how much we bond

# data[].attributes.body
I cant really speak for other people, but I mostly pick friends with the same views as me. I cant deal with rude and inconsiderate people. So having people that are like me makes things a lot easier.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people. I think they do this so they have some to relate to. But others just love everybody and is just a big social butterfly.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people don't decide who their friends are by their background. People will find out their friends background eventually but I do not believe someones background is how you determine who to be friends with. People normally are friends with people that have some similar interests though.

# data[].attributes.body
Not all people pick friends who have similar background some people pick friends with different backgrounds

# data[].attributes.body
Not all people pick friends by their background.  Some do pick friends by their background so they can relate to some of the topics, but most don't pick their friends by their background.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes people are more inclined to make friends with people they have many similarities with, but sometimes, opposites attract.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, but not entirely true. I don't choose my friends, they choose me. Being around people with the same views and interests is better because there would be less arguing. Personally i think having friends at a young age is pointless, because they end up moving and leaving forever. Unless you plan on being friends with someone forever (i have) thats a different story.

# data[].attributes.body
alot of people do that but not alot of times

# data[].attributes.body
not all people pick friends because of their backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
people pick their friends that have the same background so they more in common and have more to talk about to each other

# data[].attributes.body
sometimes people do pick the same back round but sometimes the don't

# data[].attributes.body
It is all up to the person who they want to be friends with. As long as they both are friends it doesnt really matter.

# data[].attributes.body
some people may do , some people don't. it all just depends on the person.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it's easier to be around people who have the same views and interests and background as you because you can often relate to each other and being able to understand someone is an important element in relationships, but not all.  We all want to be understood and accepted.

# data[].attributes.body
honestly I think this is a half half. I mean between someone I can relate to and someone I can't relate to I would pick the one I could relate with but that's just me. it honestly depends on if you have a choice. sometimes your mind sorta takes over and get's interested into things that your friend is but you aren't. such as with my friend (Matthew) he's like a stick and I'm... well I'm not a stick and me and him are great friends. I'm just saying that different is what your mind prefers but sometimes you have the wheel.

# data[].attributes.body
some people do pick friends who have similar backgrounds. but some people pick people who like to have fun, and someone just pick everyone different

# data[].attributes.body
It's likely but it just depends on everyone's personality and identity.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people like to pick people who share the same things in common as them so they can do the same things But some people Like to talk to everyone and be friends with everone

# data[].attributes.body
i think some people pick friends like that because they might all like the same thing and so if they go places they can have fun doing whatever they do.

# data[].attributes.headline
not every group of friends will be alike 

# data[].attributes.subject
not every group of friends will be alike 

# data[].attributes.body
It's very likely, but it's not always 100% that all friends will be alike.

# data[].attributes.body
See in this type of situation it's a 50/50 chance of this happening. I myself have friends that are pretty different from me. I do have some friends that have similar experiences with me and that helps because you can talk to those people and they really will understand. So really anybody can have friends similar to them or completely different from you.

# data[].attributes.body
Because you want to have friends that like to do stuff you

# data[].attributes.body
they pick friends that like to do the same things as them so they can have fun with what they both like to do

# data[].attributes.body
sometimes yes because we can have things in common with them and we fell like we know them more but i also have friends who are not really like me

# data[].attributes.body
i pick friends by just by who they are if we have anything in common

# data[].attributes.body
i think that it's different for other people but for me i be friends with people that i get along with and sometimes have thing's in common

# data[].attributes.headline
People pick friends who have similar backgrounds because we can only think that we can do or only friends that that can be made.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not say it depends because my best friend and I (aka Amari)  have totally different families. Yes we may have been through the same things, and have lots in common but our backgrounds are completely different. On the other hand my people like people similar to them.

# data[].attributes.headline
it really depends i have freinds from al parts of town it really depends

A lot of the time this is true. People with similar experiences, backgrounds, and mindset are often drawn together. However, not all the time, as many times, people with contrasting histories and ideas gravitate towards each other. You could say it depends on the people involved in said friendship. Each friendship is unique.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes yes that is true but also at the same time All people can have the choice of who they hang out with and they may pick someone. Some of the time that isn't true.

# data[].attributes.body
mostly people want friends that are similar but i think it would be better to have a different friends so yall can grow and find certain things in common

# data[].attributes.body
Many people have different ways of picking friends and who you want in your life. Some people like being around people who get them and understand them.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes, because you have to kind of have similar backgrounds in some aspects to meet. At the same time, opposites attract (Like Noah said.)

# data[].attributes.body
I mean I do not. I just find people  that seem cool. and thats how I find friends
