Today's Scintillaticity will be Friendship by Proxy - where you know, you're friends with someone else because your friend is friends with them. Many people fall broadly into this category - boyfriends, husbands, best friends, and most often, embarrassing relatives.
Do you often find yourself obligated to be friendly to someone's obnoxious boyfriend, husband, best friend, embarrassing relative, dirty old sneaker or banana peel because said obnoxious item belongs to/travels around with/is worn by/is stuck to this person you happen to feel friendly towards?
If so, you're probably a victim of Friendship by Proxy. You're not really friends with that banana peel. You just feel you are because that banana peel belongs to your bestest dearest friend. But it's alright.
You can overcome. Begin by telling yourself the banana peel is not yours. It's not yours. You don't have to be friends with it.
