Re: Can we ever trust anyone

Yes I have 3 really lovely friends who I have have known since School days, who are really loyal to me, and would help me if I needed it.

Re: Can we ever trust anyone

Oh LQ I know what you are feeling. My life journey has sadly taught me that people I once believed loved me Male and female didnt care for me as I cared for them . I was the fool who loved unconditionally believing they would be in my life always . But each of them have gone some I'd loved for many many years , some walked away some acted up to create a reason and left me bereaved . I look back and see how more important to me they were than me to them. Sadly I can include family in this it leaves me deeply wounded .

I have only myself and I often ask out loud "why" but there is no answer.

Read my signature there is a lot of pain in those words .

Trust your own judgement Queenie not that of anyone else. People can be so vindictive dont get sucked into their meanness...they may have a problem with a person but its their problem not yours.

Re: Can we ever trust anyone

Hi Queen if I’d received that message I wouldn’t make a snap decision.
It could be like you’ve been in the past the sender of message has been badly hurt by this so called friend, or its a genuine warning with a valid reason.
I would ask her again * whatever has happened *
Maybe you won’t get a reply as it’s private .
Is that a reason to end a friendship …

I think its wrong to expect too much of people Susan especially family we raise our kids to fly the nest and make lives for themselves....we become secondary and thats as it should be . Friends come and go it doesn't mean we wasted our time being friends its just a time of our lives we were close to those people...if you don't expect too much you don't get hurt.

Re: Can we ever trust anyone

I have also recently received not one, but TWO, very strange messages from someone I considered to be a friend accusing me of something I consider completely unreasonable. This person often reminds me that she's a 'believer' 'christian' ...........and then tells people what they should be doing and when!
I was really upset when this happened but have now decided to just back away. We will still meet up and socialise - with others I hope, but I'm now wary and she and I will never be 'good' friends!

Re: Can we ever trust anyone

I heard a quote once (can't recall who said it) and it stuck with me

"There are friends for a reason, friends for a season, friends for all time"

Agree completely. A dog is your most loyal friend ever.

I agree completely. The person you need to trust is yourself. If you trust yourself then you’re good. Others have their own perspective and agenda. Truth is individual perspective which might not match up with yours. Don’t ever judge someone by what someone else tells you. Discover each person you meet yourself.
