So I have conscientiously decided that I wasn't going to be one of the bloggers that post like everyday, but when I do I feel it's a real issue. So today's bowl of rice deals with friendship.
I have a scenario for you all: You have a BEST friend-emphasis on BEST--and you find out some drastic information about them. Now you would normally throw this off as rumor and gossip, because as your best friend, any serious issue that would come up, good,bad, or indifferent, you feel that you two have the understanding that you could discuss it [whatever it was] as adults. You write off the fact that in hindsight some of the things being done make the hearsay seem creditable, and it startles you to feel like that,but the source of the actions and hearsay are two completely different outlets, yet somehow point in the same direction.
Here's the kicker, you're BEST friend then stumbles and tells you what the issue is, after indirect [or direct] mentioning of the problem, or issue, making the hearsay creditable. You're astonished! No matter what the drastic topic was, the fact you heard it hearsay and had to come to them about it, rather than you two discuss it blows you. You felt at least, you would've been the first, if not in the first of few to know. The real twist hear is that, they have danced around the topic when brought up, and not giving you any real answer, till now. There reasoning and rationale is they haven't done anything wrong, just haven't told you the whole truth. [To me the same as lying]
So here's my question: How do you prevent yourself from locking the hell up, and closing out any and everyone. In your mind you feel that if the people closest to you are not who/what you think they are. You have out yourself out there, truthfully and exposed, receiving their criticism because you believe this person is closet to you and will give you advice with their hearts and mind on you having the best. How do you not shut out the world.
ADVICE PLEASE!!!
