I think that trust and friendship go hand in hand cuz it's just that secure feeling that you can have someone to rely on to express yourself fully and know that they'll be in your corner no matter what. Unfortunately, I don't know if a lot of people get to experience true friendship (or even trust for that matter) from another person. The fact that you can lay out your most vunerable feelings and feel like they won't be used as collateral against you later on, the fact that you have to worry about whether one day out of the week, or if you don't follow another's whims, if you will be dissed or neglected, if you have to worry about if your friend is trying to go after your mate behind your back (for the females).
Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with any of these major issues, and have a solid BFF whom I've been friends with since junior high, and can honestly say I would trust her with my life if I had to. I know it's hard lately in society to honestly find these two attributes without feeling like you're going to be stabbed in the back later on, but it's important because everybody needs someone to stand with them sometimes for that support system.
that was a great response/ unfortunately I haven't found that/ people's envy and drive to be stronger than the next person instead of showing vulnerability is what I have ran into all the time/ when people learn about my past I get people walking up to me trying to be something there not instead of saying this is what he went through and I should approach him as I am instead of what I heard/ but people are so self-goal orientated and if they don't get their way...which I have found has been spoiled people rather than unspoiled because if your not use to getting nothing you won't expect nothing!!!!! only the thrive to work hard and try again.....I find myself not getting far with people in friendships cause my niceness gets taken for a weakness..and little things are made big causing problems that shouldn't arrive....so when I was 19 I gave up on trying to be "cool" with people and if they understand and trust me than oh well and if not than the hell with it...cause we all go through different experiences and somebody's life will be drastically different than the next and so on.......we got kids in Africa dying cause they can't trust the government and then we got people committing suicide over relationships...in each of their own respective world it is drastic but in the world's eyes which one is more drastic...of course the kid who is bout to die so I when I meet people I greet them with open arms that we're breathing but when they yap and start talking about "gossip" I end up becoming enemies with them...its never failed and I have come to accept who I am at 24 and I realise I am a loner and as far as "trust"......I understand the word but I also know people want to feel like they have an edge on their friend, enemy, whoever, so since this drives in my head I don't know if I could ever become real close to someone.....I have kept plenty of people's secrets but people haven't did the same to me, so I would like to congratulate you for being able to have someone like that sista...you are special for that and the person whom you are close to is special for having you/
bless
