I would rather tell a stranger whose miles away about my deep personal problems than anyone close to me. It's harder to trust people these days.

Some girls just love the gossip and drama. It drives me insane. There are certain friends that I just know not to tell them anything because they’ll blab it to everyone.

Yup I only have one girlfriend I tell my business to and our guy bestfriend. I can sense a fake friend from a mile away. People are only your friends when you are doing worse than them. It’s rare to find people genuine enough to confide in with personal issues that don’t find it as chisme

I'm friends with lots of people, but I only have 4 friends(not counting hubby) that I truly confide in, that wouldn't betray my trust.

It's important to be choosy about who you confide in. This isn't a female trait. Get to know someone, either male or female, really well before you tell them your business.

It is kinda rare to find worthy female friends but keep looking their out there. Keep your head up. It took me a long time to find one. But now we're inseparable! And part of it is getting to know each other enough before you start telling things you don't want others to hear.

I actually have a lot of friends in real life & I still don't tell any of them my super personal business bc I think that breeds drama in one way or another. Honestly, the best place to get unbiased, REAL advice is here.

This is why my friend circle is really small . People are shady - many women are drama and I just can't deal with it . The gossip the bullS**t , the rumors .... I have enough people in my life I trust completely to count on both hands and that's good for me . Sorry you have this issue :/

Same here. Even family that I've trusted with my issues have always been thrown in my face in public eye. I tell things out of confidence and it just bites me in the ass.

Even on here, lol it's thrown back at you.

I truly have 2 friends that know everything and I trust them with the info. That's my best friend and dh.

Sorry to say, but this is people in general. I try to really get to know people first. Been burned too many times in the past.

Had the same problem. Had a friend who I told everything to, then she used what I said and gossiped to other friends and twisted what I said to make me look bad. They came to me though to findout the truth. I was shocked.

I have serious trust issues with women as well. I have one close friend that's a women, that's it. And even with her I find it hard to get to "real" for fear of her using that against me in the future. We've know each other for 17 years but only talk every few months. It's lonely, but it's also hard to make friends the older you get. ?

Yup, I have been in that spot so many times. If I tell you something in confidence why in the shat do you go telling people!! I just stopped telling anyone anything unless it was something I wanted everyone to know.

I don't have many friends for similar reasons. I usually end up stabbed in the back, even if its not them gossiping about me, I end up ditched or something. I've pretty much given up because I'm so sick of thinking someone is a friend to end up crapped on. Hope someone comes along for you that ends up being a true friend to you!!!
