I distrust everyone except for two people, and they are family members. I used to be incredibly naive though.

Do you have an innate sense of who is your friend versus who is your enemy?

As for myself, I do not.

Discuss please.


I mistakenly assumed (I don't do it as much anymore) that everyone is my friend. This lead to some painful incidents when I was a kid. It just never occurred to me that anyone might dislike me. When I was younger I never caught the non-verbal clues (face and body language) indicating dislike. I am in my seventies now and I have picked up on it reasonably well, but it never came naturally to me.

i don't always know who my real friends are (perhaps i dont have any) but i am very well aware of who my enemies are. i can sense that vibe when someone dislikes me.
