It is hard not to be just a little bit jealous when good things happen to other people- I think some people may not acknowledge those feelings- but that doesn't mean you can't be supportive and happy. However, I think it is hard to be TOTALLY happy for someone else (without it being tinged with "why not memememem?"). I have no friends in 3d I trust completely. I don't think I trust anyone completely- not even my husband. Perhaps I am the only one to have some deeply disturbing thoughts that flit through my head, about everyone and everything- but there are things I would share with no one- and in that sense then I trust no one. I hope it isn't just me.

I think if you have two such friends, you are very, very lucky. That kind of friendship is rare and precious. Many friendships are compartmentalized and serve some of your needs, but few ever reach that almost unconditional acceptance and love. Of course, it gets harder as we get older, because we DO get hurt, as you did, by some we consider true friends. ANd we protect ourselves. I have one right now, and it took a long time to get to this point, but I believe we really know almost everything- lovable and un- about each other. The true test was when we recently disagreed about something and actually TALKED about it! (That may sound funny to all you outspoken people- but for two well-trained Southern girls, it's a major breakthrough!)
