Do you like mixing friends?

Yeah, I can totally see where you're coming from. Naturally, we tend to put on slightly different "masks" whenever we have multiple friend circles, so that if the different groups were to ever meet, we're afraid of one group finding out how we would act around the other group of people.

I think all in all it depends on who I'm mixing exactly though. Example, I have two friends who are going to the same college. Before they started going, they didn't know each other. One of them's a little shy, the other one's a social schmoozer. Even though they're very different, I introduced them because they had the common ground of going to the same school. Even though they don't really see each other that much (it's a big campus), they're still on good terms to this day.

I totally know what you mean. I also never mix bring boyfriends to hang out with my friends, unless they have the kind of personality where they can get along with anyone. Which is pretty rare.

Don't know, I don't really have any close friends nearby.

i like to bring my favorite people to each other with hopes that they will help one another grow, or at least have a meaningful interaction. it's great when you know too people will get along well and you get to watch them hit it off and getting excited over whatever their interests are... but yeah, i guess there are some people i wouldn't want to mix but they are probably more like aquaintances.

I don't like some friends mixing mostly because some of my high school friend would embarrass me in front of my college friend. Mostly due to social awkwardness because I was a very different person back then and I have grown immensely in my social skills, while some of my friends seem to have regressed and are extremely immature and weird.

Depends on if I think they would mix well, some of my friends have very different personalities/likes/dislikes and would just rub each other up the wrong way

I'd rather prefer all of my friends knew one another, then no one would feel betrayed because I'd never have to abandon one group for another.

Sadly, they tend to hate one another and put up with each other just to keep me from getting upset.

I tend to be the friend solvent. It's usually requested that I'm present at the mixing because I am apparently "glue". One on hand, nice to be seen as melted-down horse. On the other, nice to be the person who makes things stick. To answer your question, I'm always nervous at being asked to be the conduit, but it always seems to work out. I like meeting new people and integrating them. I like people in general.

What the hell? Whats wrong with that?!

Friends are people, not property.

If you have an issue with friends from one group meeting those in another group... you may want to rethink how you treat your friends, especially if you think you have the right to control who they should and shouldn't talk to.

Most of my friends can mix easily and have done so. But there are others who would not 'fit in', so I would keep those friendships separate, for theirs and my sake. It depends on how varied your friends are really.

nah i believe in segregation

I have friends who are like that. From my perspective; it's like they want to keep them to themselves and are afraid I'll be better friends with them. Doesn't matter ^_^ each to their own.

I like it when my friends mix. They are all really awesome people and they should know each other. But sometimes it's really hard to make that happen because they don't always want to mix and meet new people. That's really the evil scheme behind any party I throw.
