You know who I like to hang out with? The funny people! The good-looking people! The people who everyone else likes! That's better than hanging out with the awkward people, right? Those people who don't really know what to say, how to act, don't dress that well. Heck, maybe they even smell a little bit. You know who I'm talking about at your work place or school or neighborhood.
It's tougher to be around those types of people. But, the cool thing about being one of those people that is more on the "awkward, funny looking, socially weird (but rather pleasant smelling)" side, is that I've done more than my fair share of hanging out with just those types of folks. I always tell kids, "If you have no one to hang out with, go find someone else who is just like you."
The good news is that there are a ton of people out there who need a friend. A ton of people who need to be reminded that they are special. A ton of people that could use some hope. Those are the kinds of people I should be hanging out with. The funny, good-looking, everybody else likes them folks are going to be alright. But, we can really make a difference in the lives of the "different" ones. So, whichever side you lean toward, you want a better life? Start paying attention to the ones who need it the most.
