Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?

what about if the person is someone older and someone you look upto who is saying that and you may be influenced by it. I guess what if your friend was part of a background that maybe a relative of your nationality/background would have issues with. And how would you deal with it if you were on the receiving end of being distanced because of those differences.

what if the person your friend may marry is from a conservative family and does not approve of the friendship? She feels conflicted.

Part of being an adult is making your own choices and being responsible for them. When you’re a child, you need guidance because you don’t know better.

When you’re a grown up, you do the guiding.

What I am trying to say is…use your better judgment on this. If you believe your friendship will not impact you in anyway negatively, stay friends if you want to.

This has nothing to do with someone else, it has to do with what you feel you should do…or want to do.
