Innocence was in my genes since childhood and I was quite gullible. I am Capricorn, so obviously am an emotional fool! Even today, I am sensitive when it comes to relationships...
I had a group of friends about 4-5 years ago, I straightly coming to the point...they deceived me! They took advantage of my innocence and my emotions towards them. I did hell lot of things for them, gifted them expensive stuff on their b'days etc and lot others...but they just enjoyed my foolishness.
Today, when I introspect, I feel that I was the biggest of all fools...Should have acted smartly and chose better friends. I do have couple of friends who are the closest and am happy that I changed for the better and found true friends.
I have come a long and tedious way, from my experience, I suggest my fellow mylotters, esp. girls, to keep their sixth sense working and be a lot more conscious when picking out friends and don't go to the extremes in your friendship. Love your friends unconditionally, but not at the cost of your self respect and dignity.
It's better to have few true friends than a group who might be deceitful and selfish...!!

I've always felt that it was better to have a few friends than to be a part of those big crowds. When it comes to the big crowds, every knows everybody's business and no one really likes each other. As far as being deceived by a friend, when I was in the 6th grade i had a so-called friend that I shared personal information with. He promised he wouldn't say anything and like a month later people were repeating everything that I had told him. But I was young, and we all learn from our mistakes.

you are very deep, sheetgal. although i am gemini, i have been falling a continuous victim of the type of people who knows how to make people deceived by their cunning words. we call them swindlers, right? acquaintances have always this effect in me, i pity them when they tell me that they are so hard up and need help (mostly in monetary terms) and so i come to the rescue. i always end up at the losing end. hardly will anyone pay me back. anyway, it is good that you have found true friends at last. true friends are never many. they never come in droves. they cannot be a handful even. you are extremely lucky if you can count three. one or two of them is plentiful already. they are the ones whom you can count on in times of dire need and they rejoice with you on your triumphal moments. everyone outside of these cluster of trusted friends, are mostly the deceitful ones who are just lurking around for their own benefit!
