Friends vs acquaintances

Have a feeling I blogged about this before, but even so, it deserves another go. Different isn't it? Friends are there for you at all times, you can talk to them about everything. Acquaintances are people that you know, but not well. And perhaps don't trust.

I am of a breed where I tend to be very trusting in the beginning. This has led me into all sorts of trouble, nothing serious, but the type of trouble where I indeed expose myself to be hurt. Happens all the time.

But even with the experience I've gained, I am not changing. I still think that being open is a good thing. And so long it's only me that's getting hurt, it's ok, isn't it?
