Ive been burned in the past so i keep damn near everyone superficial only.
Posted by SkyblueroseSo true, I feel like I did a lot for this "friend". So that's probably why I feel hurt
To me acquaintance means someone I know of and have normal everyday conversations with. Ie, the weather. A friend knows me better and I hang out with. Someone I can talk to and would be there for. A close friend knows me intimatly (non physical). This is someone I would put myself through hell for. Someone I love platonically. These are the only people I do trust, but not totally, as everyone hurts everyone eventually. You can only be hurt by those you love after all.
Posted by CuddleBug88How old are you?
To me an acquaintance is someone who I'm still getting to know...could be that we just met a day ago, or months ago but just haven't talked a lot. A close friend is someone who I feel connected to (in a platonic way) and comfortable enough to actually open up to. As for friends, I consider both as friends...if I vibe with someone I consider them a friend. I'm slowly starting to realize that I'm more down with others then they are for me...live n learn I guess
Posted by xXxAliciaXxXI'd love to know your answer!
This would have been a good question to ask everyone.
Posted by SunMoonStars27 years young. I've had a handful of friends who've turned out to be a little fake. Whatevs, still gonna have their back if I feel they're in the right - even if we don't talk anymore. Everyone has a good and bad side - I can't blame em lol. Sure as hell gonna give em an earful when they F up tho...just my personality lol.Posted by CuddleBug88How old are you?

Posted by PlaguedLol...fire crotch.
*shit noticed this is in the fire crotch forum
The few friends I do have live in other countries and states so I'm good, and they all pretty much have moon in scorpio lol.
Other then that, I have learned that unless their like Jesus having a true friend is seldom attainable for me. Too many have gone behind my back for their own self gains. To tear down what I have since they lack the ability to form meaningfull relationships. Trust is almost obsolete in my book but can be formed.

True, everyone has a good and bad side, I need to remember that.click to expand
Posted by SunMoonStarsClose friends- people i can trust & spend quality time with
Fellow Sags, I've recently found out that a "friend" of mine tried to steal my commission at work.
Needless to say, I will be a lot more careful with making friends in the future. In fact, I'm not sure if they are even worth the trouble, effort and potential headache.
So, I'd like to know:
1) what is your personal definition for:
Acquaintances
Friends
Close friends
2) How much do you ever really trust someone?
3) How do you protect yourself from getting hurt by friends?
Open to everyone!

Posted by SunMoonStarsI have learned that no one is your friend at work!!! I'm sorry but I do not build relationships with people bc I don't trust everyone!!! They will smile in your face and then later lie or snitch on you to make themselves look good. Instead they look like a fool. I tried this with a chick I worked with and she was jealous of me bc people always complimented me on my appearance. She then started talking bad about me to other people and I found out. So what I have learned is go get your check and go home. It's nothing wrong with being cordial and polite but I don't do work friendships.
