it is hard to know when people are being honest with you, especially if your history with them leads you to be suspicious. one way you can really tell when someone is telling you something truthful is when they blurt out things.
i dated a guy one time and during a conversation he blurted out that i shouldnt trust him, i thought it was really weird and it did not take long to figure out he was telling me something true about his personality.
i had a relative that blurted out about a situation that blood was thicker than water. it totally didnt really fit the conversation and i was perplexed by it. once i got into the situation i realized she was involved with a man that was not good for her and when push came to shove blood was NOT thicker than water. she was trying to warn me that a decision between me and someone else might come up.
i had a friend that suddently blurted out that her sister thought it was funny she had already picked her bridesmaids so far before the wedding because she wouldnt be friends with half of them when the time came. guess what! when her wedding rolled around she had changed out half the people originally in the wedding, including myself!
i met a new friend and was at lunch when they blurted out that they dont have many friends, thought it was weird. now i know why they dont have many friends!
i know you shouldnt go around trying to read meaning into everything you see or hear but sometimes you just have to listen, people are trying to tell you something. but i think we are so deep into a situation that we have our own idea what we need or what direction we want something to go in and we choose to ignore and then later we get angry. can we really be angry with that person? to be honest they did try to warn us. maybe we should start really listening and then when things dont work out tell them thank you for trying to warn you! naw, that's no fun! ;0)-
