Do you still have friends you can trust?

I personally consider a friend a person whom I would trust in just about any situation. A friend is someone you can rely on when your car breaks down, when you've lost someone you loved, or when you're just feeling down. I don't have anyone around me like that, unfortunately. However, I do cherish normal companions (non-friends) and I recommend everyone else does the same. Companionship isn't exactly plentiful these days.

Hello , I think that when considering who and what real friends are, most of us may have the concept a little confused. Being able to call someone a friend; I believe is something that is earned by the potiential friend...alot of us call a person a friend simply beacause they may have done something to help us once, the person may be popular, or the person "can" be really nice sometimes...these are not really good reasons to call someone a friend. I believe a real friend is someone who doesn't mind helping us "all" the time if needed (just as we would do for them), the person doesn't have to be popular... but just able to be "real" to themselves and others around them... and while the person is human and may not be nice all the time, they are willing to admit when they are wrong and have no pride issues when it comes to apologizing. I think we should truly put more value on who we really call friends...and make sure the person we are calling our "friend" really deserves being called that.

yes i have a friends that i can trust, he and i just like brothers, he is my college friends.

I am not sure online but i do believe people change no matter how you knew them. in this times, people are killed,betrayed and humiliated because the one they trusted changed and screw them. i have seen a lot of people, even in mylot for that matter. i don't know who they are but they brought my friend down

I have many friends but I trust only few. Infact those whom I trust are closest to me. Because I d not have complete faith or trust on others I simply don't share my secrets with them. But the trust factor is very important in friendship. Normally a friend who you can trust happens to be your best friend

Yes, I still have friends I can trust. I keep a very small circle of close friends. The ones I trust are the ones I cherish the most. They are the ones I turn to with my deepest secrets. I know they will not tell anyone else about my life. I don't know if total trust is possible, but my friendships come very close to that. If a person in my life is less than trustworthy, why would I want to keep them close to me? One true friend is worth their weight in gold. If you are lucky enough to find someone you can totally trust, return the favor and be trustworthy. You should always nurture your friendships.

hi eve, thanks for sharing this discussion. sorry to here about ur story... but u know u'll still find a true friend that u can trust. because as for me i'm lucky that i have a lot if friends that i can trust, for richer or for poorer they are still there with me. i can trust them will all my deepest secrets in life and at the same time they can also trust me with their secrets. if im in need they can help me, emotionally or financially and if i can they i will do the same to them. they also like my family, my brothers & sisters. & u know, i cant live with them or without friends. anywhere i go, i always find a true friend... have a nice day and happy mylotting... ^_^

Personally,I think I have one or two friends I can trust. That maybe because when any of my friends when they meet some difficulties, I will help them as much as possible. If I have the ability to help them, I can do everything to help. No expect for return. But if my friends cheat with me only one time,I will not contact with hime anymore and no trust. So before your friends cheat with you,please treat him sincerely.

i do have a couple of friends i have that i can trust with personal information and such but other than that i talk about everyday things with my other friends. i have found that you really cannot trust too many people to keep their mouths shout about persoanl stuff.

i think that will depend on what matter to entrust a friend. I dont think I can trust anyone with my life, and hardly anyone with money. Some of my friends are so bad in money management that I cannot entrust a single cent to them. They will lose the money rather than make money out of it. Most friends are good listeners and can keep secrets. For that, I am very grateful. Anyway i dont expect too much out of friendship, just want to have friends who can understand what I mean, and listen when I need to talk.

I think trust is double directions. If you trust your friends they will trust you too. I don’t have many friends so I can not be picky to trust them. Also time changed my opinions about friends. Now I more focus on my social role in the world than before just focused on a small friends circle. However I still trust people and my friends. Although sometime I felt upset. Now I realised if you are not useful to others nobody will be your friend and trust you. you also can not find a friend you can trust.

I have 3 best friends and I can always trust them because they have never cheated me. it's a great feeling when you have a person you can trust.

You know what they say, everybody's your friend until you borrow from them. Kidding aside, I have been blessed with friends who are true to me. I do not have a lot of friends, but the friends I have stuck it out with me through all my ups and down. I have a friend who has been my best friend since elementary. I have a best friend who is also my cousin. Look at it this way, at least they've shown their true color to you now.

For me until now I do trust my friend I said that a friend because only one out of my friends I can trust. I agree that this time you can't trust because we live in this earth that the one who rule is the evil not the Almighty GOD.

I do have friends I can trust or they wouldnt be myfriends, Mike David and pArtner, Michael rivers and his mom nelda, these are my true friends whom I always do trust. I cannot always tell if people can be trusted just by looking at them. Ihave to know them instead.

I do have a friends that i can trust,keeping trust in a friendship really depends on the person,how you value your friendship.There are are where you will encounter people who will use like in terms of m0ney as you and depends oN you if you want your friendship stay,sh0oting straight with that friend ant telLing what you realLy think is the problem and discusSing to that friend realLy helps, unlike just watching him/her do what you d0nt like. I d0nt believe that you can judge people by just lo0king at them because you realLy have to spend time with him/her to kn0w.

for me yes,because how can you say he/she is your friend if you don't have a trust to him/her. I have many friends. I share my problems even though my blessings in life because its better to share what you have. We cannot change other perception that your best friend is your best enemy, because we need to love and respect somebody.

Hi eve301345, that is part of growing up! We all make mistakes, and we learn! When we gather too much of froth around us, god puts us thru some hardships, where we learn who is truly our friend, or truly our relative, and who is not. Until then, we do believe that everybody is good - and at ur age it is just natural! So dont get bitter about it. U see eve, I may be a good friend to a few, and bad to others. Likewise so will u appear like that. There are, of course, the jealous kind, and the mean type. But other than that, there are people, who use u with their soft talk! So - with a round of bad experience, u should have learnt to differentiate good apples from bad ones I suppose - at least to an extent. Dont let this bad experience deter u from making friends though. Some are really good. And try to be open about some things even amongst the ones u have. For example, a friend may genuinely wish to be of help to u, but faces some constraints, and is miserable for it! That is a good friend! Cant lose that type, can we? I can only repeat Polonius' advice to his son - lend thy ears, hold thy tongue. And soon u will be able to identify the right ones. And believe me there are plenty out there if u r sincere. :)

I have best friend when in primary school. That is 20 years ago. Now, I and my best friend leave in different city. But until now we always keep in touch and help each other.

Hi eve301345! It is so unfortuante that your so called "friends" only wanted your friendship for the sake of money and then weren't available for you emotionally when you needed them. I totally understand your not wanting to trust anyone. I know you're hurting, but please don't shut your heart off to the genuine, loving friendships that will come into your life. I have very few trusted friends in my life, however I truly treasure those friendships. I've been friends with these people for quite awhile and it was only through the test of time when I knew their friendships were genuine. A true friend will accept and respect you just as you are. They will give and not take and they certainly would not expect money from you. If and when you have a chance to make a new friendship, give that person a chance. A good genuine friendship takes time to blossom.
