I do trust some but some i really i don't because friends that i trust are those who are loyal to me and will stand by me in times of trials. For me loyal friends are those who trust me as much as i trust them, as simple as that. My friends i treasure them in my heart but i can't really say who they really are to me and what i am to them, plus i can say that i can be wrong for that friend that i trust.

Trust is the essence of any relationship but these days people are mostly misusing trust and faith. People whom we think might turn out to be different tomorrow, its mostly happening in relations as well as friends. Friends must be given importance and must be trusted, but then there is a limit for that. We must analyze what is the extent we have to give a person trust and whether the person is really trustworthy. If he or she is so then there is no harm in giving our complete trust to them, but when you analyze that your precious heart soul and your trust cannot be given to a person who just doesnt care or know the meaning of friendship or any kind of relationship, its better to stay alone rather then having such friends at all. I do the same, i never compromise with any person, i want my friends to give me trust and importance as i expect from them, if they are not really trustworthy i donot trust them to the extent which is beyond limits. i just maintain a cool and harmonious relation but with less trust and faith.

I have a few very good friends that I trust, unconditionally. I feel very lucky to have them, and know they know they can trust me in the same way. That is the greatest feeling in the world, to have that support system. Unfortunately, we are not longer in the same area geographically, but are very fortunate for phones and emails!!!

I try to trust most of them but sometimes, logic thinking make us can't believe them. In my opinion, trust comes from heart but believe comes from brain. The first reaction i will follow my heart but then my brain will come interrupt my decision. My heart and brain will fight to conquer each other. Sometimes, my heart win and i follow what my heart says and of course vice versa too.

How can you call someone a friend if you don't trust them. You should be able to give your heart and trust to them and don't expect too much from them. There really are loyal friends and there are false friends but you must not judge them in anyway. Just be a friend to them even though they hurt you.

there are often many friends around our lives ,but not all of these can we trust them . because each person only have two or three true friends. others only make friend with us for this or that reasons ,in other words,they only want to get something from us .to this people ,we can not trust .

I do trust my friends. I think without trust is hard to have good friends. I trust them and I also hope they trust me. But not all friends I trust. There are some friends that cannot be trusted. If I know someone break my trust, I won't easily forget them. This because the break my trust. I usually trust and never think bad of others.

It's my personal opinion that if you can't trust your 'friends' then they can't really be considered friends.

I don't trust many of my friends, because I have really bad experiences regarding friends and I became really picky in trusting people. Even I became really picky in making friends with people. I only have one or two best friend in my life and I was really hoping that these friends are those who I can trust at least a little.

I do have some friends.
I try to be a good friend to them.
I trust them all.
I believe they also are good
and trustworthy friends.Otherwise
you can not call them friends.As I said
earlier, I trust all my friends and
help them in all possible ways.They are
also very sincere in their dealings.
I love my friends and they love me.
So I have no problem with friends.

For the most part yes I do. There are a few that I keep at arms lenght and share nothing personal with them. I've shared things with people I thought were my friends and it was used against me. I now am careful on who I let into my life and esp what I share. I'm glad I have a couple that I know are true loyal friends! Ones that are understanding and forgiving. Those are the friends we all need!

There is one argument that will go on and on and never resolved Yes we need friends ,love having friends but the definition of a friend is something we likely will never rely on Yes sometimes a friend will betray us but that is life and we jsut have to live with what we have Good Luck Have a Great day

There are those whom I trust if our relationship is getting deeper to the extent that both agreed to support one another in time of trials and challenges. There are friends who come and go. But those who are loyal and confident to open oneself need someone to trust him.

Some of my friends I do trust, but others not as much. The friends that I trust I know I can count on them to be there when I need them. And I know that if I need to talk to someone, I know that they are there for me and they won't tell anyone what I told them. I can easily confide in them.

I only trust my best friend and my cousin because they've always been there for me and they've never betrayed my trust. Well, my cousin told her friends something about me that I told her lol but it wasn't that big of a deal, I just didn't want anyone to know because it was embarrassing. I just know not to trust her with my embarrassing stories anymore lol. If I told her something serious I doubt that she would tell anyone else though.
I wouldn't trust new aquaintances because trust is something that to me must be earned. It's not something that should just be given out freely. A person has to prove to me that I can trust them before I do. I've been hurt in the past by people that I was so close to that I considered them my family. It taught me not to trust just anyone. You can know someone for years and still not really know who they are. My boyfriend thinks that you should trust no one but yourself, but at times I think that you can't even trust yourself.

yes i do trust my friends and if one makes someone "friend" then there should be trust in it and it should be on us to maintain that level of trust.
to understand each other and there need and then to make yourself upto the level os expectations of the other is the source of getting others trust.
and being friends you know your friends and it be great friendship if you have some sort of trust going in them but keep it simple...
