How do phrases that use the word "around" translate into spanish?
 
How would you express english phrases that use the word "around" like:
Around people, I am happy.
I'm always around her these days.
You need to spend more time around them.

Mmm... probably, I would use "con" (with) in many contexts, or "among" [entre] like in your examples.

Entre la gente, soy feliz [estoy contento].
Siempre estoy con ella estos días. (or "junto a ella")
Tienes que estar más tiempo con ellos.

BTW, Welcome to the forums! :)

It could also be "cerca de":

Cerca de la gente soy feliz.
Siempre estoy cerca de ella en estos días.
Tienes que pasar más tiempo cerca de ellos.

Ah, I see. Thank you. And that you especially JPablo. I'm hoping to learn a lot from the forums.
