Losing faith in someone

[BlackVelvet]

Kinda depressing

Do you accept your friends for who they are no matter what they do or is that reserved just for family?

[HalfBked]

What about losing faith in a sibling? Even more depressing.

I don't think any of us are beyond some things, everyone is prone and has the potential to turn either good or evil.

Expect the worst of people and you won't be disappointed.

The closer the person the suckier the feeling.

It is a very depressing feeling but it does pass depending how the person comes out of it.

[Advo]

Hell no, there are certain things I would never accept when it comes to family or Fri(ENDS).

However I do have this thing where I expect like certain people to fok up and when they do, I just look at it as nature statistic.

This is what I'm talking about. But then it's still disappoiting when someone does what you'd predicted they'd do.

Depends how deep the friendship and how the person's character was/before....perhaps you could help out and not watch them go down the gutter or whatnot...no idea what the situation is but b4 giving up on them...

I read this story that changed my perception, and it taught me that you are not really a friend if you are not there for them at their worst. A true friend will go to the ends of the earth for you, especially when you push them away the most.

Ofcourse..
Pretty self explanatory!

Let's say you did all you could do to help your friend in their time of need but the situation is getting worse (i.e. they are in a self-destructive habit/addiction etc).

Knowing that there's nothing you can do since you've given all your best, will that (you tried to help to no avail) make the feeling less painful?

Twist it's not about you, but about them.


West ofcourse I meant something just deeper than that.

If someone needs help. Whether they are friends, family or a stranger you'd be really cruel not to help if you could.

What I am talking about is seeing a side to someone that makes it impossible to respect or trust them anymore. No way you can still be "friends" after that.

I lost faith in someone this week. Her prior actions also made me want to cut all ties with her. In about 2 weeks, she'll be gone with yesterday's newspaper. I cannot stand people who break promises. If you can't make, it just let me know in advance. I cannot stand people who do not answer their phone just beause they cannot make it. Just let me know you can't make it, I'm not your mother and beat you down. We're all adults!

I don't tolerate people's bullshit and if I do, let that be a family member with a damn good excuse(family card doesn't fly all the time) or an elder.

The amount of people I know who've slipped and bounced back are minute compared to those who slid down the slope. Learn how to set lower expectations and you won't be as disappointed.

how do you lose faith in a person? you believe in Allah and simply love people. People are flawed, we all need guidance and understanding sometimes especially at our lowest point. If you abandon someone close to you because they 'shattered your carved in stone image of them', than to be honest you should be thanking them for helping you realise how da'eef we as humans are and use it as a reminder to strengthen your own character.
