Being trustworthy is the most underrated quality a person can obtain. I have seen so many friendships and relationships fail strictly because of a lack of trust.
Trust is the foundation of every single important relationship I have ever had. As I have grown older, I have become more and more aware of whom I can completely trust. Finding out who you can actually rely on is not a very fun process. In order to weed out the bad seeds, they usually have to betray your trust in some way. One of the tricky things about this topic is dissevering between those who truly care about you and those who are just plain nosey.
Unfortunately, there will always be those people who act like they care about what is going on in your life just so they can get their juicy gossip for the day. These types of people are hard to pinpoint, but they do have some red flags that you need to watch out for. These are the people that will constantly come to you with "new information" they have discovered. They are the "you didn't hear this from me" type of person. Beware of them! If they will gossip to you, they will gossip about you. Don't be naive by thinking that I am only describing your typical teenage girl. People of all ages are completely capable of running their mouths.
Eventually, you will find your inner circle of people worthy of your trust. It is always going to be tough when people let you down, but you have to make sure to learn from their mistakes. I don't like when people spread my business, so I am not going to be the person to spread other people's business. Do not take someone's trust lightly. Be sure to always cherish the people you find that are worthy of your trust. Let them know that you appreciate your relationship and be sure to reciprocate the same trust and return the favor.
