"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than bad company."

- George Washington

What this quote is indicating is that if a person has been trying to make you do certain things with them that you know you shouldn't be doing and saying certain things if you don't. In all honesty, they really aren't your friends or anyone really for you to be associating with. All they do is go against on what you believe is right from wrong and judge you if they don't get what they want. If I knew anyone like this, as much as a friend they can be, if they treat me in any of that sort of way I wouldn't want to interact or have anything with them. A friend or anyone should respect someone else's opinion on what they want and don't want to do. I rather be alone than to be with these sort of people. You can't just enforce something to a certain individual and then when they try to avoid, you make it seem like they're the bad guy. It's all about understanding each other's actions and knowing what you should and shouldn't do. If you have "friends" like this i would request either speaking about it or just not hang out with them anymore if they just don't cooperate in trying to see through your point of view.
