not a good track record with recent friends

April 4, 2022 5:31am CST
one turned out to be a serial killer on the run after escaping from prison, the next was a child molester making a new life in Spain and the next one got murdered . I always thought I was good judge of character before all this - It makes you wonder about the stories of all your other friends that might not have been discovered yet.

Yeah, I believe that no matter how you think you know somebody, you really don't.

Are you for real?? The serial killer would be a very big worry. Some people really hide their true characters very carefully.

yes he killed his wife and got a jail sentence , got moved to an open prison and escaped from scotland to Blackpool where he killed his boyfriend, went on the run again and killed himself in London.Think he may have killed someone else but its a bit of blur -

@58lordstreet It's a bit scary looking back. Being friends and not realising his past.

Wow! Those were really good actors or it would seem that you are a poor judge of character. Anyway you can try to be more observant with future acquaintances.

lol I liked them so a bad judge it seems, but how would you know they seemed normal until the police turned up one day

Hmm, what qualities did they have to make you want to befriend them? Were their personalities similar? I watched programs on TV about serial killers and noticed some are good actors in being very friendly and amicable. Just goes to show you appearances are not always what they seem. Oh, and maybe you should pick your friends more carefully in the future. (I'm just kidding)

@58lordstreet I see. Hmm, I would never suspect a person like that. My brother is always helping others. I'd better watch my back
