I have many friends. Some are really good while some are not. Generally speaking, i am a person who can easily have trust on others, especially friends. I could have trust on a person who i have never met in my real life, but i see them as my friends. But, sometimes i only find that that friend is a liar. How much faith should you have on your friends? Do you have the experience of being cheated/deceived by your friends?

Hi there, FRIEND the word itself shows trust and faith, then only we will continue with them our friendship, but if you notice that he / she liar or cheating you then you have all rights to ask them because she/he is your friend and clear off your doubts but don't keep something against them in mind and feel sad or make yourself down. We do experience with all these with many people because this is the world with different people with different mentalities, you have to accustom with all these. Don't worry if you experience any bad with your friend, just leave for their wish and forgive them and be happy. Have a wonderful day.

If we always remember the bad things a trusted friend brings for you we cant be happy in our life, so you are right, all we can do is to forgive him/her and go on with our happy life. Sometimes if you can not change it you have no choice but accept it. Life will tell us which is right and which is wrong.

That depends on how close you are to your friend and how long you have known them. Friends are people who are always there when our family is not around. Friends are the ones who never let us down and will never leave us when we are in trouble. So,if your friends are good ones...we need to have faith with them,totally and sincerely. have a good day

I have much faiths on all my close friends. I trusted them with my belongings and money. They had never cheated me and will never need to, i treated them with respect and sincerity; help them in time of needs, desperation and facing personal hardship.

I only have Faith in God it is so hard to trust people because they can fail you. Family can be the same way. I had a friend that start dating a guy that I had dated it took me awhile to forgive the two of them and I would see them together but I learn to forget and move on and still till this day I helped my best friend with money and she still hasn't paid me back and I see her all the time on face book and she hasn't even taken out the time to say hello how are you and your husband and the kids and she was suppose to be in my ceremony just in April and never showed. I still love her though but I guess our friendship will remain unspoken.
