Can we really trust a friend?

Friends need to trust each other.For me, I will trust my friends for all my heart.Maybe someone cheats me for some special reasons, but I will still trust him/her.After all, he/she is my friend. Well, I mean a true friend.

i think you'll have to distinguish who your 'real' friends are. and your instincts will tell you that. even if you are not super close with a person yet, the act of confiding to him/her should make your bond stronger. you should have feelings about who you can trust. choose well, and you might gain another lifelong friend.^_^

I think there are many kinds of friends in the world , so there are different kinds of levels in friendships. you dont have to trust all your friends every time. but you should be the one your friends always can trust !

Hi Prisca and welcome to mylot! The only thing I can tell you is that, if you can´t trust a friend, he/she is not your friend. We either give ourselves or we don´t. In what respect do you want to trust them or not? As for money matter, I don´t lend money to anyone unless I love them more than the money lent. That way, if they can´t pay me, it´s alright.

I have learnt the hard way in the past that never to trust a friend with anything that you would not want anyone else to hear.I have also learnt never to trust what a friend has to say and take it all with a pinch of salt as they can also lie.I do not find it easy to trust people anymore.

the important thing between friendship is trust. If that is lost then that person can no more longer be called friends

It's good to have lots of friends. You can encounter many friends along the way. But of course, not all of them can be trusted with your secrets or confidential things. Friends that can be trusted are your best friends. Most of my best friends are the ones I have known since we are kids. They are friends who knew me since then, they know my attitude, likes and dislikes. So even if you have many friends you still have to know who your real friends are that can be trusted.

I too do not have so much close friends. I know friends are there but I do not trust them completely as I know my problems are just mine, though I try to help friends who have problems but I do not expect that they will do this to me in return so that I won't get disappointed if they don't.

i have many friends, but those that i really trust to share every bit of my problems are quite a few. i will be more careful on those who only takes advantage or try to keep a bit of distance and especially to avoid dealing with serious/personal matters with them at all. Those that i can trust are usually more like 'buddies' to me of which we hang can hang out till late in the morning sometimes to talk about life and the things we enjoys.. eventhough we do not see each other very often as we are now living in two different countries, i find when we do meet nothing changes between us.. i will not have to worry about doing things wrong when im with them as they will help me to realise and teach me the right and better ways.. these friends are usually those that encourages me and supports me in all that i do and helps me stand up to strengthen my personal weakness..

I think it is very hard to trust a friend but sharing a good and bad things together,is common between friends.

Definitely i agree with you,but depend on what situation have been created sometimes one need to lie to a friend just to prevent some misunderstanding to happen in between both parties,i would say that you should never trust anyone because you don't know in what dilemma u can be one day and when u turn back there's nobody around

A friend is someone who you are very close to. A real friend should be one who is there when you need them and someone that you can trust. As some people may appear to be a good friend they might actually just act as a friend. I know some people that i have been close to and there have been times where i found out that they were lying to me about the smallest things for the longest times. Even though you may know someone well or think they might be a real friend sometimes it is hard to tell.

Without trust there is no meaning of friendship.....i my openion relation will be strong when there is understanding between them and should trust them.
