Do you trust more in your family or in your friends?

I have wonderful friends and family but I prefer to be with my family. They are here with me since I was born, they know me better and they have always supported me either financially or emotionally. There are some things which my family do not know as my friends know but this is only a time in life when we feel more comfortable to share our small secrets with close friends than family. Recently my family are treating me very bad because of my relationship with my boyfriend but I do not blame them at all because as parents they have a right to know if I will be happy with the boy or not. I will listen to their opinons but the decision will be mine as I am mature enough. But I have a duty to listen to them. I trust in close friends who have never revealed my secrets to anyone and we maintain this friendship very well. I also trust my family for theyhave been here for very long with me. I trust my boyfriend as even listening to all the insults of my parents he still understand that I love both of them and decides to wait. So to trust someone that person must be worth enough to trust upon.

I used to trust my friends more than I did to my family. But from personal experience, I have learned that even if I have true friends that I can depend on... blood will always be thicker than water... and that, in the end, I can always count on my family no matter what situation I am in.

I think you need to 'trust' some people to share your inner ideas and thoughts with them. You see when you share a point with someone, you get a different idea to that point and sometimes, that could be very useful. I trust my family members and friends and keep sharing my ideas and problems with them and I get very effective solutions/suggestions from them.

I know it has always been said family is the best. However, I still trust my friends more than my family as I share with my friends more than my family members. It seems that they are not able to appreciate my thinking and tend to impose their thinking on me. I do not have the same problem with my friends.

i trust my friends and other people but I trust my family more. Though sometimes there are instances that we intrusted some aspects of our lives to friends or other people but it doesn't mean we valued them more than our families. Our families would never let us down, they may get mad but still they would care for us more than anybody else do. They may do something that would disappoint us in the same way that we may do something that may disappoint them so it would be nice if we understand each other and remain to be a family.

Hi marianna and welcome to mylot...I don't have trust in many people - and certainly not people who I have just met. I have learned that I cannot trust anyone in my workplace anymore and I just have to fight for myself. The only people I trust in life are my family members and two friends. The others have all proven themselves to be untrustworthy. You of course are right and you should be very careful with the people that you trust.

When I have a problem that is the time I needed people besides me but that is depending on the problems. There are problems that I can solve on my own and want to make it on my own, and I can survive without the help of people around me even my family. When I have problems I used to keep it with myself, I do the sharing when it is already through. It is right to entrust our problems to ourselves first to determine our courage to face life as it is.

If push comes to shove, I can rely on my family more than I could on my friends. Mostly because my family has shared both the good times and the bad times of my life, and no matter what happens, we'll always be connected by a unique blood bond.

I trust my family more than friends because i have learnt that family will always be there in your time of need(sickness,laughter,sorrow,poor,burden)where as friends are there when they need you and you dont need them.I can depend on my family for everything and wants to spend all the rest of my life trying to make theirs better.You should learn to forgive your family and trust them again regardless of what they did to you because when the goings get tough they are always there.And if you find it hard to do that on your own trust in GOD and ask him to help you.He knew the importance of family thats why we have that one luxury.Happy mylotting!!!

family comes first.in the trust department, i t still does. i trust my own family more than my friends.they never let me down and they love me purely for what i am. but don't get me wrong, i have a couple of real friends, too and i trust them with all my heart. but if i am to choose which one i should prioritize or trust more, i'll go for my family anytime.

At my age right now, I'm 42, I have learned that no matter what happened in your life, you can trust your family more than your friends in helping you with some of your needs in life. friends may come and go-like transfer to another place or die or move away from you- but your family, in my opinion, will always be your family and they will always be there for you. Well, maybe for some, it's hard to trust people in general. I myself, had a hard time trusting people before because so many times, I experienced being hurt or being abandoned by them. But I think, when you are dealing with people, we have to expect that one way or the other, they will surely make a mistake, or fail us because we are all imperfect people. But I also learned that failures and mistakes and even hurts can build a better friendship and trust for each other. Yes, it's hard to go through that process in relationship, its a risk that we have to take, but that's the only way you will also see the people whom you can really trust or not. Besides, there is only One whom we can trust, that is a Real Friend, that is, Jesus Christ.

I trust both my family and friends. I'm blessed to have a loving family and supportive friends and I always trust their judgment. They love me and I know in my heart that they will not do anything to harm me. I guess it depends on some people if the have been betrayed once or many times. I can't blame them for losing trust from them. The things is, trust is something that can be earned. Its hard to build but its too easy to ruin. A single mistake can have a great impact to change everything.

I personally trust my family much much more that friends. However, in building a friendship, trust is very important. So I always put 100% trust in every relationship. Undeniable, sometimes they'll let me know by lying to me. For this kind of friend, there's the end of our friendship.

It may be the way I was brought up, but personally, I trust much more in my family than my friends, simply because I see them in everyday life and I know their behaviors and habits, be it positive or negative. You would know how they would respond to a situation, and they would not frighten you with a strange reaction to a problem, as you already know them well enough. Friends, on the other hand, you can only know them when you meet up with them; That at the maximum is only 6 to 8 hours a day in a normal teenager's school life. Hardly enough to know what they do at night, and how they behave in their private life. This frankly, makes me trust less in friends. They may be a source of laughter, and might just improve your personal well-being, but if you are talking about putting my deepest secrets in them, I just cannot do it. As in how to solve your trust problem with others, if you want to, slowly start stocking up your trust in them and choose friends and family who you want to put your trust in carefully while forgiving and forgetting the small mistakes they make as they are still human. This will, after awhile restore your trust in people as I believe that no one can just take up all the secrets, burdens and sadness of this world by themselves-they must share it with the world. ~You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough.~ --Frank Crane

I don't have trust in my family because of what they put me thru, and I don't have any friends whom I can trust. I used to have friends in real life, but since they've all left and I haven't seen them again (my history with them was bad t osay the least), i'd rather not trust anyone at all, EVER in order to protect myself and prevent myself from being gullible and falling for anymore lies, tricks and deceptions from others.

Trust only in God , Family and Friend have their own problems and work so we can't blindly rely on them. my personal experience is trust only and only in God he is savior and everything.

Eventually I will always choose to trust in my family more than friends in any case. There are too much interests invloved in relationship between friends nowdays,making me don't know who I can toally trust in and who absolutely trust in me unconditionally. Sometimes I even prefer to share my privacy with strangers I come across in internet just because I can be myself and they will never betray me. When interests involved,some so-called friends may say something in front of you but do something oppositely behind of you,though so many times I was touched by those pricious true friendship.

I've been in your shoes many times...I do trust my family, and don't think they would every lie to me...but do they tell me everything? No. I am not that close to my only sister that I have. She would rather confide in her friends than me. No I don't trust my friends 100%, but I just learn no to tell them what I don't want them to know.

It depends what you mean! I trust my family loads and love them to pieces and i know they will always be there for me and never let me down. But i wouldnt trust them with my personal secrets, like about boys or something. I would talk to my friends about that. So it depends on what im trusting them with really. Some things i would trust family and not friends, some things friends and not family, some both and some none because i just want to keep it to myself

Ok I think that you have been hurt a lot or at leat when you have trusted in others they have hurt you. Every person is not out to screw you over. but they way you feel is best on your life. so it no right or wronge it just how you feel.
