# Your friends are a worldview with names

**Friends as a worldview:** The people you speak with again and again are a worldview with names. They hold what counts as normal among you. Your fit shows whether you still live inside that normal.

## Kurz gesagt

- **No chorus called "the people".** Here the map has names.
- **Normal is local.** What holds at your table does not automatically hold for you.
- **The table pulls.** You notice it in sentences you only say there.
- **The fit is the gap to your own sentence,** not the question of whether you betray your people.

## Normal with an address

["The people"](/en/wissen/the-people-is-already-a-worldview) is a crowd without names. Your circle of friends is the opposite: five people, a table, sentences that come back. "Among us one does it this way." That us is a worldview. It has an address and a group-chat hour.

The worldview says which job counts, which relationship sentence is embarrassing, which money you mention, which ambition counts as showing off. You take that on faster than a book, because you are at the table when it is said.

## The sentence you only say there

Watch for a sentence you say in that round and nowhere else. "I have no ambition there." "A relationship is too much for me right now." If the sentence sounds different outside, alone, you have two self-images. One for the table, one for the week. [Dream-Reality-Fit](/wissen/dream-reality-fit) asks which one you mean when nobody is pouring another drink.

| Basket | What sits in it |
| --- | --- |
| Fact | Repeated talks with the same people stabilize what counts as normal. That is group life, not a diagnostic word. |
| Hypothesis | A sentence that only appears at the table shows a local worldview, not automatically a lie. |
| Folklore | "Real friends do not change you." They change what you treat as sayable. That is already a change. |

## Lay it down without blowing up the table

Write five names. Next to each, a sentence that is normal there. Next to that, your sentence from [the one you repeat about yourself](/en/wissen/the-sentence-you-repeat-about-yourself). The gap is the fit to this circle. You do not have to cross anyone off to see the gap.

Speak the names and the two sentences [onto the map](/try). The circle stays. The map shows where you join in and where you only nod.

## Häufige Fragen

### Do I have to leave people if the fit is low?

No. Seeing is the first step. Leaving would be a second one, and it is not written here.

### Do colleagues count?

If you speak with them repeatedly and a normal forms, yes. A name on the map is enough as a criterion.
