This is a very personal blog for me and debated whether to post it or not, but realized that venting is very theraputic, just getting it out there in the open. There is the risk of being ridiculed but I am going to stop caring what people think so much. First off it just seems like you can't trust anyone anymore. I hate to be a pessimist but I feel that way right now. I give people the benefit of the doubt but it later turns out to be a dissapointment. For example I was being a good friend to one of my friends in need who was low on cash. I put some gas in her car..when I myself was not economically sound. Well she offered to buy me dinner. So tonight I go to dinner with her and she gives me 30 in cash. I didnt really look at the bill because I figured she was being honest with me. Well I later look at the bill and I only ended up spending 20 bucks of my own so she was basically just paid me for her side. So I really felt screwed and let down because I trusted her. I'm mainly angry because I don't like to be played the fool, and wonder why she would decieve me like that. If you she couldn't afford to buy me dinner she should have just told me. I will never stop being a good person but am going to be a bit smarter in my choices, there is a line one can draw... you can be a good person but be shrewd at the same time.

Am trying to incorporate that into my life also. The problem is i want to believe people are basically good. And i don't like being suspicious of everyone so will probably continue to trust some i should not.

Trust is rough, once lost nearly impossible to regain. I learned that the hard way, once you doubt someone, no matter what you tell yourself, you may never trust them the way you did before.
Money, and cheating are the two worst. But it can happen anywhere. People are human, no one is perfect. However, making a simple honest mistake and underhandedly trying to get one over on someone is way different.

Sappho, if I could call in all the loans, money that people have screwed me out of it would be well over $200,000.
I don't loan any money anymore. Not unless I get collateral that is easily turned into cash and is worth 10 times the value of the loan.
Funny, no-one's ever taken me up on that offer!

Yeah I don't get the money thing either. You paid for gas and she paid for dinner. Quibbling over a few bucks here and there is usually a sign of other issues. I am always honest with my friends and am generous when I have money and stay home or allow them to pay when I don't. I figure it all somehow evens out in the end.

Its not just this issue but a series of issues with this person. I didn't want her to pay me back but she insisted. So since she was so eager to pay me back and decided to sneakily be deceptive, it just dissapointed me. Well the money exchange was she would pay a certain amount of my bill I payed 10 bucks for gas she offered to pay that in the bill but it ended up that she just paid for herself and gave me cash for it. . Petty as it may seem it just bothered me is all. I could care less about the money just the deceptive part is the problem.
