What's interesting is that some of my best friends have been people that society would judge as unsuccessful, not smart, and not cool. Mutually feeling accepted by one another is a big part of it I think, but I never really thought about it other than "chemistry".

I think one of the biggest mistakes of my life was falling into a depression/sadness hole and making friends with other depressed and sad people. It continues the cycle. And many of these people are not as nice and accepting as you'd be led to believe (applies to myself, too! something I've been changing.)

Eh, I wouldn't say it was a mistake. Those people got you through a tough time, and I'm sure it was mutual. Now you realize you want something different, and that's okay too.
