00:00Welcome back sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about how to know if your friend is truly trustworthy.
00:15Wondering if you can really trust a friend. Here's how to figure it out, one step at a time.
00:201. What we want from friends. You want friends who keep your secrets,
00:24your thoughts, fears, embarrassing stories, safe. More than that, you want kindness,
00:29honesty, acceptance, and support. Basically, someone who's got your back, but no one's perfect.
00:35Sooner or later, a friend might hurt or disappoint you, and you'll probably do the same.
00:40It's part of being human. 2. When trust is broken, not all betrayals are the same.
00:45Some are small, like a careless comment, and can be worked through.
00:48Talking things out or forgiving helps strengthen the friendship. But if someone hurts you deeply
00:52and makes you question their care for you, it may be the end of that friendship.
00:55Sad, but it teaches you what you will and won't accept.
00:593. When expectations don't match. Sometimes, it's not betrayal, it's mismatched expectations.
01:05Not every friend will drop everything at 2am, and that's okay.
01:08If you're often disappointed, ask yourself if you're expecting too much from a casual friendship.
01:13Look for smaller signs of trust. Do they show up?
01:16Listen, enjoy spending time with you. A friend can care, even if they're forgetful,
01:21bad at texting, or not great with deep talks.
01:234. Giving trust a chance. Don't let fear of being let down keep you from trusting.
01:28Holding back only leads to shallow connections. Trust takes courage, especially if you've been
01:33hurt, but you don't have to give it all at once. Share gradually and see how it goes.
01:385. Testing the waters. There's no surefire way to know if someone's trustworthy.
01:42It's something you learn over time. Maybe you share something, and they open up too.
01:46Maybe you support each other through problems. Or maybe you resolve a conflict and come out stronger.
01:51Little by little, trust grows as you spend time together. Trust takes time, but it's worth the
01:56effort. The right people will show you they're worth it too.
