How do you manage friends with different lifestyles?

Managing friends with different lifestyles takes patience. One of my friends loves parties, but I prefer quiet cafés. Instead of forcing each other, we take turns—sometimes we go dancing, other times we sit for coffee. Balance is the key. Respecting differences makes the friendship more interesting.

Sometimes, differences become too wide. For example, if a friend lives a risky lifestyle that makes me uncomfortable, I keep some distance. Friendship should not harm your peace of mind. Managing doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself—it means finding a middle ground without losing your values.
