I got many friends but I have to admit that I do not trust all of them . There are a few amoung that I trust a lot and I can share many secrets with them but still I tend to be rather on the safe side and don't trust all of them. So do you trust all your friends?

People can have some very good friends on the internet to. I finally got to talk to one of my good friends the other day. And glad to hear she is doing well. But she cries because she never gets to see her brother even though they are both grown up and live a distance from each other. Her brothers wife don't allow him to see his sister or his mom. Witch I think is very wrong. They have always been a close family till he married that women.

Dear friend, I do trust friends and also others provided they are justifiable reasons in their approach or in their behaviour to make me believe it is true or they are trustworthy. But at times I had beeen cheated also, which for next time I would avoid not fall in cheating friends or people. Hence I do trust according the judgemetn I make myself on others. It entirely depend my ability to judge a person's trustworthyness.

Actually I never judge someone, But if one of my friend has betrayed me as she did when we were in college then as I prefered to do is to avoid her completely and to behave as if she has nevr existed for me.

Hi friend, I have many good and close circle of friends but to tell you the truth,I trust only few of them when it comes to sharing secrets.They are good but I cannot trust them 100%.Moreover,why to tell your secrets to everybody?..Secrets are meant to be kept hidden right..otherwise it won't be secret anymore, lol!Have a nice day!

No, i don't trust some of my friends. Some of my friends already betrayed me before but still i have forgiven them because i know i won't be able to find friends like them. I mean sometimes friends make mistakes so i have already anticipated that it will really happen. So far, we're ok now and we're still hanging out from time to time but i don't really divulge some sensitive secrets to some of them anymore because i can't afford to be betrayed by them again. I'd rather keep it to myself.

When someone has come across a betrayal by a friend it is very difficult to start trusting someone again in your life, I had a friend in college whi betrayed me and I was very sad I just wanted to avoid everyone and then gradually I started talking to others but till today I have only few friends on whom I can place my trust.

I got many friends too but I have only one friend that I trust 80%.Having a friend that I can trust 100% is too good to be true.

I used to be a very trusting person, I always trusted people until they gave me reason not to but after being let down or should I say stabbed in the heart a couple of times by friends I thought of as family I no longer trust anyone 100%, I think human nature has weaknesses that none of us can control so I never trust completely.

When someone is hurt his own, it pains more and I know it very well, thats why I prefer not to trust someone 100% too, you never know when that person can betray you and then you are all alone infront of betrayers instead of friends.

"FRIENDS" the word itself is a boon. Because in the world we cant find people without friends. Really they help us like anything but we have to be careful while selecting friends because all of them whom we meet may not become our friends and there are chances to get cheated by them.Even i have many friends but i only trust and share everything with only few of them who are my best friends. Just simply trusting everyone is not at all good. So friends be careful while judging and select the best ones.

Yes you are right, thank you for sharing dear, friends are always a good conpagnon and when they are trust worthy then its good and when they are not worth of trust then we feel wrong in choosing them as friends.

Hi Again Med, I also have so many friends and its true that it is not easy to trust all of them but there are some whom we trust and we need to trust some people. I also try to be on the safe side..

I also have many friends but very few of them can be trusted and I prefer it this way instead of having many and yet no one reliable enough to trust on.

I am also not very trusting, i had a so called friend that slept with some one that i was dating, i wasn't really in to him, but she didn't know that. This was a friend that I've known since i was 10 years old, since then i have had a hard time trusting any one. Your definitely not alone on that subject.

Yes having many friends is the best and knowing them deeper is better. I also got much friends cause we all share the same likes and dislikes. Some of my friends seems to be not trust worthy cause they are greedy when it comes with money. It's alright not to trust too much, know your limitation and their limitation as well. Trusting too much may only lead you to distruction.

Yes you are right, too much of trusting is not good for one even if it is a friend of yours, you never know ehn you can get stab from behind.

If you cannot trust a person, you also cannot classify him as your friend. He or she could be just an acquaintance. Friends are those with whom you can be just yourself. Trusting others also needs that you instill the same trust in them. Have you behaved with your friends in such a way that they feel that they can depend on you.

However have you ever accepted someone as a very good friend and placed all your trust on him/her and then she/he has betrayed you? Then probably you would have realsied that its bad and hence its better to avoid trusting someone so much.
