Welcome to the series where I answer open ended questions from a quiz I found on Tumblr. They are a great opportunity for me to share bits and pieces about myself on the blog.
Today's question is:
Is there anyone close to you that you know you can't trust?
Is there anyone close to you that you know you can't trust?
There was a situation
not too long ago with a person who was a friend of mine who I always knew I
shouldn’t trust, but still did. That situation spiraled completely out of
control, and ended up very badly for a number of people. That person and I are
no longer friends.
Since then, I try to
be more careful about who I’m friends with. I don’t want to end up in a situation
like that again. There are people I wouldn’t tell my deepest secrets to, of
course, but all the people closest to me are people I trust.
Recently, I saw
someone online say “Hate is too strong an emotion to waste on those you don’t
like.” At first it made me mad, because I knew that person was trying to
invalidate someone who said they hated them, but then I thought about it a
little more. There is a very, very small number of people who I would say I legitimately
hate. And the reason I hate those people is that I did like them once. I liked
them, and they screwed me over, and made me hate them.
So I completely agree.
Hate IS too strong an emotion for those you don’t like. Most of the time, my
negative response to someone is just indifference. It’s only hate because I
liked them once.
Sorry, that was kind
of a tangent. To answer the actual question, there are some people close to me
that I wouldn’t trust with certain information, but I try not to be close to
people who I really can’t trust.
