In my past, there were two people I called friends, different circles. Then they turned on me. I know why now, but at the time, it came out nowhere in both cases. One just started bullying me, the other cut all ties, seemingly because of something I said or did.
Nowadays, it's easy for people to call me friend, but it's hard for me to reciprocate. I'm extremely paranoid about all new friends, basically a voice at the back of my head overthinks their every questionable interaction with me and turns it into something horribly negative.
Outside of my family, I can say I can completely trust that maybe four people won't cut all ties with me anytime soon. However, I'm glad it's not zero, including family.
