I have learned they are apparently not for me, at least not yet. Never had one.

That most of us are still living, acting, and responding from the little child within.

Danny, long time no see! Good to see ya.

What I've learned... Probably that you there are very few people left you can trust.

Not even a friendship, huh? Poor Lynx ; _ ;

And I have learned that even the people you trust most are capable of betraying you. And likewise, that I am also capable of betraying someone I never thought Id betray.

If I had followed the word of God from the start, Id know that none of us are righteous. Had to learn it the hard way : p So much for that "everyone is actually a good person deep down" thing I used to believe : p

That trust is earned. God said to trust in HIM and not man. I used to trust too easily.I was naive.I thought that everyone was as honest ,loyal, and trustworthy as I am. Sadly,that is not the case . I had to learn the hard way over and over again until I finally got it. I was what you would call an idealist. Now I am a realist

I found it weird that you included "as I am" in that statement. You have never done anyone wrong ever?

That some relationships you learn from them staying and others you learn from them leaving. Dont hold on to the latter.

To be very careful what you share with others about yourself personally....afterall people change (good people are hard to find but a few are out there) and they can weaponize anything you give them in terms of hardships/details that you share with them......

Don't give your trust away for nothing/free make people earn your trust by knowing them for a long time (at least a year or more).....
basically....

Confide in God more.... before you confide in people!

Hello Born_Again, thank you so much for remembering me I feel so good. I was just busy with work. Got some free time from work and glad to see you here. Well I just came up with the weird thought to start a thread I'm glad you all lovely people replied. I have no answers but I'm totally amazing reading all your replies. Keep it up. God Bless You all.

I have learned to listen to the warning signs, take your time, and pray. Make sure you know the true character of the person you may want a long term relationship with. Both in good and bad times.

Whoops! I missed that part. Yeah, I have some good friends.

I have learned a good lesson in friendship from my dog. Bark less, wag more.

I have learned that you can learn from everyone - from some people you can learn what NOT to do.

I have also learned from my dog to treat all people as friends until they prove they are not friends. Might be disappointed a few times, but in the long run you get way more friends. The ones who prove they are not friends, write them off and do your best to avoid them.

That people are inherently selfish, and that also whatever the education levels and age, people are still sifting through the debris of there upbringing and the influence of this fallen world.
The older I get, the more I realize the only way is God. We can not do it in our own strength.

I have learned to forgive people when they do you wrong, and seek your forgiveness, as almost everyone I know has had to do this before, as well as I : p
