Do you ever think when talking to people are they friend or foe?

After a chat today i was clearer before we started to talk,except when the friend went i was very unsure of who to say what to.Like who is my friend and who is just saying they are.

I only have one true friend. I know alot of people act like they are your firend and then it turns out, they are not, at all. I have been through that so many times. I have a hard time trusting people whoi claim to be my friend anymore.

I find that alot of people tend to come round and see me as they have noone else about to see as well as to tell me alot of things that have gone on that i am not interested in anymore or that i was ever interested in.I also find there are friends that come to see me when they want to tell me things about other people as well as in todo a bit of stirring.Sometimes i think that i would be better off with no friends as then there would be no problems then.

hi jugsjugs no I do not as I do not go around looking for trouble.I may be naive as an elderly senior citizen but most people are good and kind. take it for granted a person is your' friend until they show they are not,not the other way around. most people are just like you and I, we are good,kind responsible persons. How do I know which is which? I do not until I have known them awhile on the other hand people may well ask the same of you. he he h e.

I know what you are saying.I have a few friends that are like me and then you have the other friends that you would never trust.The friends that are just like me i can not trust 100 percent as a person will only let you see the side of them that they think you will like,only to find that after knowing them years to find that they have changed or they have always been untrust worthy and you have only just found out.

we call them fakers. i hate people who will pretend to like me but in fact they really dont. but i guess as long they are being respectful to me is what matter.

Some days i think life would be alot easier with sometimes having no friends though.

while talking to people? no, i don't think much... i don't think it is necessary, unless you are going to make friendship with him/her... while making any friendship, you should always be choosy and cautious... thanks for your question and happy myLotting...

I am now just sitting and listening,the only thing is when you sit and think what that person has said to you then sometimes it makes you think abit more about that person who you have sat and listened to,then see everything alot different than how you did about them.

Usually if they are a foe I talk to them as little as possible. People's intentions come out pretty clearly most of the time and I do not waste much time on people who are insincere.

Yes jugs That is hard to figure out now days. It seems that every friend that I have made has ended up using me somehow or another. I have just about given up on having any friends. Well as matter of fact I don't have any real friends out in the real world...LOL Have a good evening and keep smiling.

I always thought I am a pretty good judge of character. I would usually size someone up 2 seconds after talking to them. The people I don't like I try to stay away from. But I have been burned before. So, you still never know.

You are right you have to be careful as like you, once bitten twice shy.I think that you can never trust anyone no matter who they are or how they come across 100 percent as there is always a piece of a person that you never see.

not all your friends are really your friends.. lol .. sometimes people stick with you coz they need or want something from you.. and when they got what they want they would just ignore you or just simply stop communicating with you.. it happens at times and also happened to me too.. this "friend" of mine is so dumb at math and algebra so she gets me and my hommies to help her out.. always wants us to go to her house and teach her some stuff and then in the end when she already passed the subject, she never texted nor called us again.. when we attempt to come to her house, her mom says shes always not home.. lol.. so yeah i guess some people who call you "friend" are not always what they seem to be.. hahaha

I have learnt that not all the people that i used to class as friends are my real friends.I have now got to the stage where as i will just listen to them and then say do you want a smoke or a coffee with out making any comment to some of the things they have said as that way i do not get involved in all the petty things that go on.
