Isn't it sad when you think you can be friends with someone and trust them and realize that they're really selfish in actuality when it comes down to the more important things?

I had this school assignment where we had to gather materials. So I got some and my friends asked whether I could share with them. So I did. Then they got more materials on their own. So for variety in materials, I asked them whether they could share with me, but one of them said," I think now I see it as a man for himself kinda thing, you know?"

I don't feel like arguing and I tried to just let it go. But how could you say that?

All this time, I thought he was a good guy.

Any opinions or experiences?

just like stone cold said, DTA = dont trust anybody

[SUMM3RxBABii]

you can trust people, but only for a limited time. not everyone is trust-worthy, especially in this bad environment where everyone is mostly just looking out for themselves.

Aren't I lucky? I found someone that I could trust, and hasn't lost it for 3 years already.
I'm so fortunate.

As the saying goes, "You can't trust anyone, not even yourself." But I believe that you can trust people, only if you know them well enough. There's always an extent.

[DOLLYbeans]

theyre probably the type of person who would want to keep the ebst for themselves you know?
like sometimes if you have something good you wouldnt really wanna share it?
well i dunno but still do LOL
i think maybe if like you start sahring he might realise that he should too
its kinda just like being friends with someone
if someone doesnt say something first you would never be friends

Trust me, this is only the beginning. I'm only a Grade 12 (Senior) and I've already experienced this so much.

I hang out with a huge group of friends. My core group itself is 10+. We're all really close despite the size and there was this girl. I never really trusted her fully, but when she asked me for my Chemistry notes (I took the course a year before), I gave them to her the next day. Then, come provincial exam time (basically the Canadian SATs), she had some social studies/history notes that I had never seen. I asked her where she got them, but she wouldn't even TELL me and just kept studdering "uhh...I don't know..." Keep in mind this is a girl who's been with our group for 4 YEARS. She's recently done a lot of mini cooper to other members of our core group too, that's why this year, everybody finally saw her true side and she's pretty much shunned/ignored now.

This is only one of my numerous examples. If I typed out every situation something like this has happened to me, I'd probably take up an entire page.

Never, ever fully trust ANYBODY. Yes, this sounds completely cynical, but it's better being safe than sorry. Besides, the after taste of something like this is just heart-wretching and pissing.

every man for himself is how the saying goes.

[sara2002a]

I hardly get to trust anybody. First I have to see if that person is trustworthy then I will trust that person.

[touche`]

there are some people who are worth your trust, some that do not deserve your trust and some that you should not befriend with. The good, the bad and the ugly type of thing.

[Aeoz]

Your on your own in the end.

[joychin89]

Yeah,i don't trust anyone anymore ....even my family....except for myself. I always get dissapointed in the end so i made a point not to trust anyone

[dhillman]

right. so it seems like finding someone to trust is much harder than being able to trust someone

[Shikabane Hime]

No one trusts anyone? Wow, you guys must all live sad, paranoid lives.

[aval-zo]

I think I trust people easily...and if I get hurt or let down at the end, I don't think I ever learn from it, lol--

I forgive people easily too, but I never forget.

I never been in a grave situation involving trust, soOo....yeah.

But I think I trust people easily, but people can't trust me easily.. yeah.

[...:chau:...]

i dont want to trust anyone since i dont want to get hurt by them. i experienced that once. when you just trust sb so much and then the world went up side down, they went back on their promises, betrayed you and you just there, all by yourself. you're the only one who take the blame. Man, you cant trust anyone ex yourself

[Yinggg]

I trust people to easily and in the end I find out that the people aren't really that nice.
I think that is the reason why I don't have friends but only people that I know~~ like classmates or something...

but when I become friends with someone in the end we will drift apart...It's always like this.
That's why I don't tell my life experience to anyone except "school life". That subject is the only thing they get to know.

People can see me as a shy or cold girl. I don't give a sht about it. I don't want to loose a good friend when I have one.
sometimes I act fake because I just want them to leave me alone. I just give them answers what they want to hear. I think~

The only people you can trust is people that you know really long and very good but not all the time.
In the end some people can stab you in the back. Irl you can't trust anyone except your family (like in parents, brothers & sisters).

[Mattsanity]

No one trusts anyone? Wow, you guys must all live sad, paranoid lives.

more than what it seems foo

[kikkie.kl]

Honestly, there are only two other people I fully trust besides my sister (lol mom and dad's memory cannot be trusted =__=U sorry). Then I have a close group of three friends that I can trust fairly well. Then there's the outer ring, where I can trust them, but I still want to take precautions because I'm paranoid like that.

While one shouldn't be completely trusting of every stranger they meet, they shouldn't be completely untrusting either.

[be_mellow]

when I can't even trust my own family then I don't think I can trust others.......I don't care how nice you are to me or how long you've known me for, there will always be an invisible gap/wall that I put between me and the person.....sorry... and I was pretty upfront about it.....but ppl understand.....it's about security....
