I have over theears realised that the closer you allow people to get the more they take advantage, there are 1 or 2 exceptions, I believe you only truly have a couple of people you can call real freinds but they are human and will like you have there short comings in certain situations.
Trust no one, beleive in yourself, and above all remember you can only trully rely on yourself. Saying that you at the same time must respect others and their opinions, you only get back from this life what you put in.
Synical?, probably am, sorry
