What quality do you value most in a friend?
It is hard for me to trust people. Frankly, I am not a people person because I don’t trust easily. I’ve been burnt several times.
I know people have a lot impacting their life, and life at best is brief, but if I give that person my attention, my time, my thoughts, my deeds, I expect something in return.
When I spill my feelings or even confide something somewhat trivel, I don’t expect a friend to make light of it, repeat it , or dismiss it as if it was not worth of a second thought.
I listen, and I evaluate, and mostly, I try to be there. I even try to see things through their eyes.
I expect the same.
If I don’t get it I know I am not important and I come to the conclusion that this person is a fair weather friend if I friend at all.
Don’t break my trust.
Friendship is a two-way street. I travel on my side, making the right stops. A good friend travels on their side doing the same. We connect many times, and we turn and go the other way without crashing into each other.
