TRUST???

About 2 hrs ago, I was chatting with a fren on msn and I asked him a question. I asked if he thought I am someone who trust frens easily and his answer was yes. He said that its both good & bad when you trust someone easily. Good is frens will also accord you with the same trust and bad is they tend to take advantage of your trust. He said that it was one of my good points and I am also "real" to my frens. Those whom I am not real to are not really my frens. Recently I am starting to loose faith in my trust in frens. I realize that many of them took advantage of my trust. I've got many frens whom I trusted but only to realize what they told me were a pack of lies. I even trusted frens whom others dun trust. Maybe I am being too naive or gullible. Many of them betrayed my trust. I have decided that if you want my trust, you should earn it. I will not easily trust frens anymore. I dun even care whether you wanna trust me or not. I just want to protect myself from bring hurt from now onwards.
