You can’t count on anyone in this world.

Sadly, that’s becoming truer as my parents’ health deteriorates and I face losing them. I’ve always been able to count on them without question, even as an adult.

Someone who has no friends irl whatsoever right now, I can totally agree with this. My loneliness gets to me some times I can't lie but the one solace I can have is that people can't actively try to stab me in the back which is what happened in most of my "friendships" growing up. Everyone just seems so fake

Some of us do care, and do try to help.

Has been true for me

Not always true
There are a few decent people left ...not many but a few

I would have to disagree, but then again, each of us have our own life experiences. I'm sorry that this is how it has gone for you, but I know some that I have literally trusted with my life and they came through time and again.

Without wishing to sound overly blunt, I'm sorry, but you're so very wrong. Your experience, whatever led you to post it is only yours. There are multitudes of those who would disagree. Hope it doesn't burst any bubbles, but [i]that[/i] is the truth actually.

Definitely you can't

I don’t know. I woke up on an IV in the hospital with my hand in my fiancées as she slept in a chair next to my hospital bed. That was kinda cool.

As people we try to be loving, forgiving, and be there for people. At least if we are decent people. However, people are people. and we can forget, or have misunderstandings, or be busy, or broke, People can also have stress and personal problems that they don't want people to know about, or even major disasters.

So we need to be forgiving and kind when people" let us down". We don't know what they are going through. We should never expect people to "be there for us". We should understand that they have lives too and not be judgmental. Just because we were there for them a few times in the past, does not mean they "owe us"

I remember in the past giving quite a lot of money to a friend since she had some money problems. I did too a year later but she never offered to help me. At the time I felt bitter, but that was immature of me because I didn't give her the money to get anything back, right? I gave it because I had it to give, and she might not have it to give back ever.

We should not give to people to expect them to do the same. That is not love. That's buying people or using people to make US feel special.

If we care for someone then we just want to see them happy!

I won't give up on human compassion, on there being more good than evil, even when it gets more difficult by the day to do so.

I wouldn't be counting on anyone. Nor even expecting much. But a local community center has helped me tremendously the past 6yrs.

I would wholly disagree. This may be a truth within the life orbit you live within, but it is the polar opposite in my own world, and the world of countless others.
Mankind is prone to it's failures, but I believe that many good people walk the earth. It is up to each of us to the possess the intelligence to know who they are. Of course, then there are the relatives........

i can count on my lovely parents...but probably not much else.

sometimes not even yourself

Word

I disagree, and if you truly believe that you need a better group of friends. Family is.....another issue.🤨

❤️You can count on Jesus who died for humanity!🌷

Hard truth!
Everyone has each own ordeal.
So, it's better to depend solely on oneself.

[c=002673]Hi there Asmae .... I love your profile..... I wish you a very good day there & be safe too. 🌞[/c]

That's why we all need to look within ourselves.👀Most of the answers we need are there.🤗💓

Sometimes our expectations are too high and sometimes they are too low.

I've always counted on my family, even if, I've never had to put that to the test.

I couldn’t agree more. There isn’t one person in my life that I could count on tbh 😔

I have found i can count on people until i can't, so whether it's a long term partner or friends or family there seems to be an expiry date where they'll surprise me and move on, and usually to make it worse this completely contradicts their words of affection or commitment they had even recently uttered. At least on SW with people here you know where you stand.

That's not true everybody at one point or another needs somebody

Yes. Truth. It can get tiring, but there's no other way....

That’s because you are the most important person in your life.

So true the only person you can count on is you

Thats so true as the sun will come up day after day.

good words to live by for sure

That is not true

Facts…sadly.

Just today I told my mom that she can always count on me and that i will never ever leave her alone. Being single allows me to take care of her.

That is so true.

I'd have to form a relationship with all 7+ billion people in this world to make that assessment.

If want your steak cooked the way you want it,you do it yourself

I have a few dependables , but I try not to bother them

I wonder if you can count on even [i]that[/i] much. 😕

Other than your shadow

This is true at times

That's no lie

Facts!!!!!

Ttuth

In my personal experience I learned to except people’s flaws because I realised my own, it sure helps to love others unconditionally.

Yes you can. If someone really [b]loves[/b] you they will look out for you. 🙂
