everyone should know that one of the most vital traits in a friend is trustworthiness. it should also be common knowledge that to be trustworthy, a friend would have to trust you. what do you do, then, when you find that almost none of your friends are willing to trust that you know what you're doing with your life?
Example:
wednsday of last week, i broke up with a girl i'd been dating for a few months. after that, all but 3 people hit me with a barrage of questions and criticisms. "dude, you're such a dumb***!" "you're a ****weed!"
needless to say, i became quite angry at all these people who wouldn't let my decision go. today, someone i thought was a good friend actually attacked me because i was being a jerk. NO KIDDING! OF COURSE I SEEMED LIKE A JERK NOW! i'm not about ready to give the same kind welcome to everyone who's been giving me **** about the situation.
The good side: I now know who my truest buds are.
The bad side: I know not what to do about everyone else. despite recent events, i can't help but consider them as fairly good friends. this is what stopped me from fighting back when i was attacked. (besides, he did a horrible job, aside from the rug burn on my left leg)
i did vent after that, but he didn't seem to pay attention.
i'm sure that plenty of people out there have faced at least somewhat similar problems, and i'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.
