To trust to much in a friend can become a lethal weapon.  Some friends will say "Trust me, I'm your Friend" or "Listen I'm just doing this for you out of friendship".  If you encounter these phrases "beware" they could mean future problems for one that puts all trust in another person.  I know a lot of people but only let in a few to my inner circle. I recently had a friend whom I put all my trust in while in turbulent times.  Despite the signs that were displayed from that person from the beginning I continued to trust this individual.  My friend would repeatedly say "Well more good is coming out of this friendship that bad". Unfortunately, that turned out to be my downfall.  Suddenly, I became isolated with just one friend to count on for this friend was so giving.  One individual “My best friend” was fulfilling all my needs and requests.  I had a shoulder to cry on and share all my most vulnerable emotions with.  I relied that this person would be there since no one else was... Everything was going splendid until I decided to acquire more friends or maybe date some people.  Everything took a turn with my friend the person that stood out for me and fought gossip battles to protect me. Instantly, my friend became controlling and I had everything to loose.  I finally had the courage to say enough I can't let someone control everything I've worked so hard to achieve.  I then tried to be reserved about my personal life to then realize that somehow this person knew everything about me. There was no way this person would have known precise details, other than by maybe having the password to my private cellphone messages. I freaked out. I decided to cut the friendship off.  I told my so call friend to stop calling or contacting me.  My gut instinct was right about this person.  At first, calls surpassed 30 in a day.  Pleading messages bombarded my voicemail.  The pleadings became threatening. When I try to savage my material, my so call friend went as low as to blackmailing me to posting supposedly compromising pictures on my website along with confidential information I once shared.  I felt lost, vulnerable, disoriented like I hit bottom. My future projects were jeopardized. Everything was lost, I invested a considerable amount that will never be repaid, along with colleagues and other material I rightfully deserve to own. I lost thousands of dollars for mistakenly trusting. I put all my eggs in one basket and they all shattered. I lost a friend. One thing I did gain was freedom that is priceless.  The moral of this story, beware who you trust do not let one individual hold the key that opens all your doors. Just remember, people always say friendship and business rarely mix well.
