If someone close to you doing bad at you're back will doubt save you to protect your self or will it be the reason to be in trouble? I have a friend who talk so much gosip i know her for 10 years and even shes like that i care about her shes nice but recently i found out that someone spreding gosip about me well its not bad buy its my private life shes the only one who knew that story and my family now i feel like i dont want to get close to her anymore it is right? Or i just doubt her? I just feel like i dont trust her anymore.will doubt be your friend to stay away from bad people or will it be your enemy to lost people close to you?

If you have heard other people talk about something that you have only told `to a specific friend, then it is losing your trust on that friend. What could she be thinking to spread those things, anyway?

I feel sad that she has to say those things just because you did not lend her the money.

Do you have any evidence that she is the one who is spreading all these gossips about you behind your back? It is still too early for you to jump to a conclusion so quickly, may be it's some one else did that, not this friend of yours. You should only avoid getting close to her after you got all the information right, if not, you may turn out blaming the wrong person and making your enemy happy knowing that you just get rid of one of your close friend. There may have other people know about your private life other than her without your knowledge, it wouldn't hurt for you to find out more about those gossips before coming to a final conclusion.

I don't care if he was my best friend or not, if he stabs me in the back, I'll stab him back. Not on his back, but on his face. I never liked stabbing people in the back so I also don't like that to be done to me.

It is healthy to have doubts, to doubt people. Especially because most of us are raised not to do so, to trust everybody. That this is not good is already proved by the fact how many people do find it difficult to say NO, to stand up for their own rights and how many of us do attract abusers, scammers, etc. Doubt will make you think twice and question yourself, your first impression of someone, your never ending helping out of others, your lack of real friends. Trust has to come from both sides and needs to be earned by the right behaviour. People who are close to you can only get close to you after there is trust. Bloodline says nothing about trust or being close. Family you can't choose and in many cases they are not close at all are just abusing the fact you are family.

I just can not stand such of people who gossip and talk behind another. I just believe a one who talk behind somebody in front of me, will talk behind me also as well when she or he sit with another ones. it is all my experience on these sort of people and being with these people is just wasting time. if somebody is valuable to you then you can ask him or her to not behave like that. otherwise then to be far from these people is better.

Doubt is both friend and enemy. It protects us in so many situations. Yet it keeps us from pursuing glorious things. If you care about her (and obviously you do) there is nothing wrong with wanting to be her friend. However, I would suggest you not tell her things you don't want anyone else to know. I have many friends I love dearly, but I don't tell them anything I don't want made public. It sounds crappy, but it's not. A friend is someone who is there for you. If she is there for you, and you for her, stay friends. It's your choice though. It doesn't make you a bad person if you choose to keep your distance.

Well, it is not easy to answer this question. But one thing is for sure, a friend in some cases (depending on many factors, but sometimes even through our own fault), it may in fact become an enemy! So to be hopeful the one with the other in friendly relations, but you have to know well in advance, the person our friend, that he / she does not have ulterior motives for plotting something against us! However, it is no great thing for us to be too prejudiced! I say this because often the idea that one of our friends become enemies, it's just in our heads, so it does not matter!

You cant trust people. Not even family you can not trust 100 percent I hate to say it but it is true. I have told my mom things and she will tell the whole world when she gets mad at me. Females are real bad with gossip
