I've been deeply hurt in the past and I'm wary of everyone now.
Then tonight I've had a message from one friend telling me to be wary of this other friend and I don't know if it is jealousy or that I shouldn't trust this friend. She didn't elaborate and hasn't answered my message as to what she means.
I am beginning to think I'm better off with no friends as I only trust myself and my husband these days!
How old are my friends? Oh yeah, they are both in their 50s!!!!!! Schoolyard stuff and I;m fed up of it.
So do you trust all your friends?
Like others have said get her to explain what she means & if she won't say tell her as you have no idea what she is on about you will not bother about it.
I had a 'friend' years ago, a neighbour, but I soon discovered she was only my friend as long as I was useful to her. Taking her kids to school with mine, doing shopping for her & generally being useful, took me a while to realise she was totally selfish. She & her family moved house, but not far & she still expected me to do stuff for her. By then I was working & said sorry I can't now & she dropped me like a hot potato. Her family then moved much further away to another town, never saw her again.
I still have three good friends from that time, we have grown older together & are still very good friends & see each other regularly, do things for each other as friends should, or were, before Covid, not so much now, but we keep in touch.
