Hi everyone... I've got a Psychology degree so I like to think that i know a bit about how people think and why they do the things they do- maybe i don't know a thing, make up your own minds! Also i work with a youth group of girls aged 10-14 so that helps too! Anyway ask me anything no problem too big or too small and I'll do my best...

A lot of my friends are very religious, and thus have many different beliefs (religiously, politically, and otherwise) than I do. Lets just say I cried on November 3rd last year (the day after), and they pretty much jumped for joy. Sometimes when I make a comment about issues that are happening in the world they look at me oddly, like I'm a complete idiot or something. They enjoy listening to Ashlee Simpson and the like while I listen to classic rock from the 60's and 70's. In the past this hasn't bothered me much, but lately its been nagging at me a lot. Don't get me wrong. I love my friends to bits, they're the nicest people and so fun to be around, but is it possible to love them as people and completely disregard how different their mentality is from you? Do your beliefs and interests dictate who you are as a person?
(Sorry if this question doesn't make much sense.) (link)

You've said yourself that you have fun when you're around them and that you love them so you've answered your own question- of course it's possible to love them! Does it matter if your beliefs differ from theirs? How boring would life be if everyone was interested in the same things and everyone had the same beliefs and values? Sometimes it's good to be around those with different opinions- it helps to get balance and simply an alternative way of looking at life! In any case you obviously love their company and they love yours as they wouldn't be friends with you if they didn't so don't worry about it!
