Bad Girl Training #2: Trust and Lies
A few words about Trust
Trust is one of the most valuable things you can have with a friend.
When talking about the benefits of trust, people usually think of things like these:
- When you tell your friend a secret to get advice on something, you trust that friend not to spread rumours about you.
- You trust your friends to have your back if you’re getting attacked, either physically or verbally.
- You trust your friends to help you when you need them and you trust them to deliver on their promises (e.g. they’ll pick you up at the airport).
But you’re a Good Girl, you should already know about those. But here’s one that not many people know about: You trust your friends to protect you from problems you might not even realize that you have.
For example, someone with a very bad fashion sense might not realize the ridicule he subjects himself to. If that person trusts you, you can help him pick out the right clothes for the right occasions.
If your friend doesn’t trust you, then you won’t be able to convince him to fix a problem that he doesn’t even understand.
It’s the same between you and me, the more you trust me the better I can train you. And if you trust me completely you’ll make an excellent Good Girl.
