Old Rover wasn't a sheep killing dog, he just ran with them because it was fun. He never killed a sheep in his life but when they came to kill the sheep killing dogs, they killed old Rover too.

Yes. I think it says a lot, especially when there's an observable pattern. That doesn't mean that you yourself neccessarily fall into that grouping, but maybe it says that you're searching for something those types of folks have to offer. It depends on WHY you're those peoples' friend. Of course, when people say things like that, I think what they're really saying is that your friends reflect on what you're likely to become if you continue to interact with them, because even the most independent-minded are to some degree susceptible to influence.

Yes, so does your grammar.
DO the friends you keep reflect what type of person you are?
An old saying, "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are."
Everything you do, everyone you like says SOMETHING about you.

Yes. You've heard it before Birds of a feather... The reason is we choose our friends based on our own likes, dislikes, values, etc. So in some way, our friends reflect who we are.

Yes and no. Yes because people hang out with others whom they share interests with. No because sometimes you befriend a person so you could be like him or her or, you want to change the person from a bad behavior to a better one. Being with freaks or nerds does not necessarily make you one. You can be with them but behave differently. What you want to be depends on who you are.

No. People can make friends with all kinds of other people. Just examine your own friends. Everyone has their similarities, but then you could say we're all alike and it wouldn't really matter. You can't tell what a person is like by their friends.

No not always. Sometimes opposties attract. Like a shy person hangs out with a really outgoing person who reached out to them first. Remember, we are all different. We may be similar but we are not completely the same.

It reflects what type of person you are and what type of person you will become. Because birds of a feather flock togather.

i think that it does because it's just human nature to kind of act like your friends that's why you problem are friends. when you make a new friend you learn about different things and it's your decision to adapt or to not adapt. But i say that's a definite yes

Not necessarily. Actually, it is more the type of person YOU are which decides which kinds of friends you keep.

i sure hope not, one of my best friends for the last 10 years is a guy who drinks alot, i mean alot, he does do housework and works on his cars, but hasnt had a job the whole time i have known him,,,,, but you know, come to think of it, he probably does in some ways, he is very laid back, accepting , kind of like a hippie (in fact i think he was one during that era!) so i guess yes and no ,,
