A friend is the greatest enemy one can ever have

[rowenahere]

I am afraid to trust to a friend. I do not know how s/he thinks. S/he might be quidnuncs (gossipers). I do not know. Who has the sole knowledge of how I am being perceived by that friends of mine? No one except God.

There were some time in my life when I confided my ill-complaints against my mother to a friend. I only discovered that this friend of mine was trying to win the trust of my mother for some purposes which I do not know. She revealed to my mother all secrets and angsts I was keeping for so long.

When my mother got mad, she unintentionally spoke of the things which only my friend knew and no one else. There, I discovered the betrayal which my friend has been doing against me.


Right now, I only have very few true friends. I am afraid to give my full trust. I keep my angst by myself. I keep my secrets by myself. I never share everything to anyone.

It probably is best not to let everyone into your inner sanctum, that's for sure. But different types of friends can have different levels of trust. You also have to understand that being vulnerable is part of being human, and that that is a very important part of being a friend. Don't be stupid about who you do it with, but you've got to let your guard down with some people.

Yes!I understood the varying levels of trust I may be giving to the people who are close to me and to my acquaintances even. Vulnerability is also a humanistic attitude, I must confirm you are saying it as a fact. Thank you for your piece of advice. Sometimes really we cannot give 100% trust to anyone or else you might be fooled in the long run. Yet, there are those people of whom in a glimpse or several times of encounters with him/her I could easily assess that s/he is totally different from anyone and of whom I could trust with. Recently, I have been discovering my pools of immediate family members and circles of colleagues and friends of whom I could say are trustworthy of my trust. Yet, I never reveal everything about myself to them. They have to discover my secrets or who really I am and what keeping me as I am; by themselves
