Is it normal to not trust my friends?

Is it normal that i dont completely trust my friends? not for any particular reason, but just because I believe outside of your family, no one is really going to always be there for you?

    I found out recently that even if you've trusted a person completely for years, at some point they will start talking shit behind your back, or tell one of your biggest secrets to others. If you really really relied on that person all that time, and you find out such a thing, it will only hurt more. From now on I won't trust my friends like that anymore.

      This happens to me all the time. I make a new "close" friend who promises to never tell your secrets, and then you find out months later they have been reporting every detail of every interaction with you to people who are involved, aren't involved, the exact people who could ruin your sh*t and they know it, and complete strangers, with or without embellishing it with their own lies, for whatever reason. They'll even edit your text messages and then show them to others, or just give their phone to others to find out all the information you've ever texted them for themselves. They will trick you into leaving your stuff by accident (distract you on purpose when you are putting away your designer sunglasses, and you end up leaving them at their house, and they don't tell you until weeks and weeks later one of them stole the sunglasses to try to sell at the beach, but they were only able to trade your $125 Ray Bans that weren't even yours to a couple of sluts on the beach for a furtive 90-second over-the-pants hand job behind a filthy public bathroom. They will trick you into leaving your purse open and nearby, and steal all the cash from inside the moment you step away. They will neglect or abuse your child if/when you foolishly entrust them to their care if they are too young to tell you what's happening. They will try their best and then try even harder to make your faithful bf cheat on you, using tactics including telling nothing but lies about you. Fuck people. Fuck "so-called" friends.

  • I don't trust anybody; trust is a hard thing to come by these days anyways.

    Yes and better off. Doesn't mean you don't do them favours but if they ask too much of you step back a bit. A friend is a complex relationship, that is why, sometimes, peaceful solitude is best.

  • Sure. I don't trust anyone 100%, but my husband comes the closest.

    Completely the opposite for me. I don't trust my family but I do trust my friends. I've picked my own friends and trustworthiness is one of the qualities I value.
