Honestly? Trusting people in 2026 is like downloading a free cursor pack in 2007... it looks cute at first, all sparkly and pink, but the second you install it your whole computer gets a virus and suddenly everyone knows your business. People act like they’re your bestie, like they’re your ride or die, like they totally get your vibe and your trauma and then the moment there’s drama or jealousy or some boy/girl gets involved, they flip faster than a Photobucket gif.

I’ve learned that the same girls who call you “queen” and “bby” and “ily” will turn around and leak your whole personality the second you’re not useful or entertaining anymore. People treat your vulnerability like it’s a trend, like it’s an accessory they can wear until it stops matching their outfit. And I’m sorry but no... I refuse to let anyone hold my secrets hostage like some cheap ringtone. 

As Lana Del Rey said, "One, two, make it fun, don't trust anyone."

I want to see what you virtual souls think about this and I apologize for my English, I'm from Spain and I used a translator hahahahha.

I mostly agree with your reflection on the issue, but sometimes I wonder: is it really that different in 2026 than it was in 2016 or in 2006? I dunno, but oftentimes I feel like this is pretty much an endless loop, or an neverending story or whatever. Everyone super cool at first, lots of nice things in common, likely to become great friends soon, but then all that cool stuff gradually vanishing until that person becomes "yet another person from the past".

In a more positive side, however, I think this should make us to think on valuating the long-time friends more. Even when it comes to people who were never "that best friend" or "that very special person we have so much in common with", just the fact of staying there for years or even decades of conversations in a consistent basis... isn't that wonderful? At this point I'm giving more value to that kind of person than the ones coming from the nowhere with all the apparently wonderful and eternal stuff that is going to vanish in a couple years or less.

So truly, whoever has a friend or two, has a real treasure (or two).
