trust

When someone tells me that they feel they can't really trust anyone, I say "Surely there is one person you can still trust.. isn't it? I'm sure you can talk to somebody about what you have in your mind."

Now, I'm not so sure. Imagine this.

Let's say you trust person A. Or you think you do. So you tell A what's bugging you, and A listens, so you think that A is someone you can trust. Then A goes around telling all your 'friends' what you have said, and worse still, makes a meal out of all of it. So, the people that have heard the stuff A has had to say go around and talk about it as if it's something that appeared on today's evening news.

It's bound to come back to you.

In fact, it hits you like a train.

And the aftermath isn't exactly going to be a happy one.

After that has happened, don't you think you'll have difficulty trusting people in general?

To make things worse, people bug you expecting you to tell them what's going on. And then when you refuse to, they tell other people you're difficult. Or something along those lines.

Some things just don't stop. And it keeps going round and round.

Wow..... now I can relate. It's like waking up to a brand new day.
