Some remarks on a comment I got on a poem. Somebody wrote that you cannot lose real friends. I do believe this person might be right. But the problem is often: how well do you know each other.
Trust is a fragile thing and might easily be broken. Could be that I am disappointed in friends I lost due to a fraud.
On the other hand: yes, I was shocked to find out that somebody I knew and trusted went reading my mails behind my back and started intervening with people I had confidential correspondence with.
I trusted this person and told her details I would never share with anybody. Now I do understand people that I just encountered might get away with it, but I got pretty upset with the fact that a person I have been mailing with for over 2 years stopped trusting me.
Yes, I believe it is upsetting that somebody uses your account to share intimate details people trusted you with on a forum.
So was this person a true friend? I do not think so. Personally I would never read other people’s mail and if I get info that is not for me, I would just ignore it.
My guess is not: are friend true or not, but how well do you know them.
As a psychic I normally feel things in people and wondered how it could be that people closest to me were usually the ones that broke my trust.
It seems to be normal that when you are too close with a person, you might not see.
A true friend might be somebody that does not only understands you, but only somebody that respects you.
Many people know I can keep secrets. I might write some intimate details here, but those are details that as far as I know the people involved might not object and that are true facts I just like to express, because keeping them down is choking me.
But true friends would not boycott each other. I know I try to accomplish an on line tarot service, so I can read cards for people through the Internet and I would like to be very confidential on that.
Maybe things happen for a reason. I understand some people lost faith in me and I was shocked myself when I read what was written in my name. It was done by somebody that knew me well indeed.
It made me more aware and making sure I do protect my passwords better, since I respect people’s privacy and hated the fact somebody just spread things around in my name.
Yes, I can be harsh and I know this, but when something bothers me about a person, I would prefer to tell this in this person’s face. I might share concerns about somebody and tell this to mutual friends, but only when I like to help a person and feel I might not be able to do so alone.
But gossip and hanging out dirty laundry was not my idea. I was also stunned that some people really believed it was me and turned their backs on me.
On the other hand I did get a lot of support of understanding people that would even offer me their passwords.
I understand, because some people did not know me that long and might have seen that I got got rude on somebody at a certain moment. I did regret that and sent apologies, but never got a reply.
It was hard for me, but I did not realize somebody was messing with my account and sending upsetting messages to people I considered friends and I respected.
I still respect those people and hope to regain their trust again, but I know it might be hard and maybe it will never happen. I feel sorry, because I did consider them as true friends and lost them.
So yes, when you have a rotten apple around, you might lose true friends when somebody steals your identity and breaks their trust.
