You got to have friends.

There are shows about the beauty of friendships.

There are shows about the downfall of those connections.

I think we should focus more on the downfall.

We often turn a blind eye to the people we can and have called friends.

That can be a big mistake.

Don't let loneliness lead you.

Sometimes people just have to go.

[rebelmouse-image 18346893 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Trust issues define a generation.

Millenials have incredible trust issues. Study after study has shown that our generation trusts nothing that is thrown at them. Part of the reasoning for that may be because we so easily pick up cues from other people. So Redditor pmmecoolpianopics, looking more into our trust issues, asked the internet:

What's your "I don't trust people who ______"?

Here are some of the most trustworthy answers.

Spousal Denial

[rebelmouse-image 18346894 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Badmouth their spouses. Anybody who has so little respect for their own life partners makes me wonder if can they respect anybody or anything.

The Scorpio Queen

[rebelmouse-image 18346895 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Use their astrology sign as an excuse for s***** behavior or poor personality traits. "I'm just a Scorpio. Don't argue with me when I think I'm right." No, Jenny, you're just a b-tch. Work on it.

Beggars Being Choosers

[rebelmouse-image 18346896 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

People that don't pay back money they owe you. Hey sometimes they forget a few $ and that's understandable but if it happens more than twice regardless of the amount, I suddenly "have no cash on me". Ever.

Cell Phones A Plenty

[rebelmouse-image 18346897 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Have more than 2 phones on them. 0 phones is ok, not everyone needs a cellphone. 1 is regular, a lot of people have a phone. 2 ok so you got a personal phone and a work phone. No problem. 3, they are up to something. Wether it be drugs or cheating.

Awesome

[rebelmouse-image 18346898 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Talk way too much about how awesome they are

Use Your Pronouns

[rebelmouse-image 18346899 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I don't trust people who insist on using my name in every sentence, I get the feeling they want to manipulate me or sell me something. It's the kind of shit I bet they learn in Salesman 101 to get suckers to trust them

Showing Off

[rebelmouse-image 18346900 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

those people who only bother you to get information out of you, or only pop up in your life when it is convenient for them. also, drug addicts who are too far gone because they are extremely manipulative and will say anything to get you on their side but all they want to do is drag you down with them because drugs matter the most to them.

Flakes

[rebelmouse-image 18346901 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

People who never commit to plans, but make sure they're holding that door open still. They're almost always opportunists who are just waiting for something better to come along. But just in case my plans are better they don't want to say no. They're almost always going to stand you up, or cancel last minute at some point.

So It's YOUR Fault!

[rebelmouse-image 18346902 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

ALWAYS have a reason why something wasn't their fault.

Bad Cop

[rebelmouse-image 18346903 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

get defensive when questioned.

Absolutely

[rebelmouse-image 18346904 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I don't trust people who see the world in absolutes.

Framed

[rebelmouse-image 18346905 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

People with razor wire thin chin strap facial hair. Just why?

Carmen San Diego

[rebelmouse-image 18346906 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Wear a long trenchcoat with the collar up & big sunglasses.

As God Is My Witness

[rebelmouse-image 18346907 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

people who take great pains to tell you how honest they are

Global Responsibility

[rebelmouse-image 18346908 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Make a mess for the janitor to clean up because "I'm giving them a job"

Shhhhhh....

[rebelmouse-image 18346909 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

People who say, "Don't tell anyone but..." or, "I'm not supposed to say this to anyone but..." or some version of not being able to keep to themselves what was disclosed to them in confidence. It immediately tells me nothing I tell them is safe.

On The Way Down

[rebelmouse-image 18346910 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Smile too much and call me darling, experience has showed me that people are always treating me as a child when they do that, and I can expect the same respect they give to a child

Which is "I will respect you untill you dare to argue back"

Clutter

[rebelmouse-image 18346911 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

i don't trust people who just throw their s*** on the floor when they're done with it like what the f-ck tim just put it in a fucking bin like 10 feet away or fucking put it your nasty cargo shorts pockets like what the frickin heck dude

Storytime

[rebelmouse-image 18346912 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I don't trust people who have a story for everything. They're usually always lying to get you to like them.

My Name Is Elder Price

[rebelmouse-image 18346913 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Who wear short sleeved shirts and a tie.

Alas

[rebelmouse-image 18346914 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I don't trust people who wear those eyeglasses with the fake nose and moustache. They're usually very sketchy but, alas, not always.

Alpaca Your Bags

[rebelmouse-image 18346915 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

People who chew with their mouth open. Not only is it bad manners but it's downright disrespectful to the ears. I immediately think they're a sh-t human being or an alpaca and I'll be damned if I ever trust an alpaca again.
