Trust, Support and Friendship.

So today my trust and support were tested.
I'm not going to go into great detail about my personal experience, because that way the trust would be broken... So I'll just have to skip a few details, but nether the less, this information can be applied to  a range of scenarios, for example friendships, family, or any type of relationships.
There's a range of matters where your trust is tested, one of the biggest ones is keeping important secrets. When your friend finally opens up about something very personal to them, you DO NOT, and I repeat- DO NOT- go around telling everyone, that's breaking the number one rule of friendship! Not only is this friend totally humiliated (well, it does depend on the secret!), but they have lost your trust. What does that mean for you? A hell of a lot. The foundation of a good friendship is trust, and if you lost that- there's basically nothing there. I mean sure, you can't stop being friends just because you don't have any trust, but to be honest you just wouldn't feel comfortable around them. Now that's not a good sign!
And as for support, it's equally as important as trust- you can argue all you like, but if your friends don't support you at least a little bit, then it's not going very well. So take, for example a really close friend, who opens up about something really personal, what do you do? Well, look at it from their point of view- they have come to you for support, not to be lectured or ignored. So you have to be there for them, even if you have nothing to say, the important thing is that you listened- and that's as far as you need to go if you want to support them.
