I think that because I have less friendships, those I value, I value a lot. That being said, I've often been a bit quick to cut things off with some people out of fear of getting hurt - "once bitten, twice shy". So, it may seem like not being loyal to people, but I think it's actually the result of being too loyal/trusting, and then realizing I don't want to get burned again.

If I really connect with someone, feel a special something, I am pretty loyal. Like scary, samurai- I'll kill for you- loyal. But most people strike me as being my equals which is to say, they're s**t heads and not worth my time :lol: Then there are people who seem above me like on of my buddies. He's one of the most direct but compassionate people I've ever met so his ability to call it like it is but in a constructive way and all this despite probably being an NT makes him special and he's just one of those people I can't even imagine ever wronging or ever hating. It's weird to me to look around at other people then occasionally find one and be able to say to them inside my head 'I will never hate you' and know that it's 100% true.

I dont know if we are more.

I know that personally im very loyal, and will do anything, for people i like., to the point where its almost stupid. And that leads to the problem taken advantage off, which again leads to being afraid to get any short of friendship or more.

It can be very hard when you are very loyal to see and understand when you are being taken advantage of. for me its like either i did everything people asked or nothing, thats binary thats simple 0 or 1. But sometimes and when and how and not thats not easy

Yes. Also, if you want someone who won't ever let you down, get a pet. They will never let you down and always be there for you.


yes, a pet never lets you down and always loves you unconditionally. there's a reason why so many people have pets. right you are.

I am very loyal to people but I don't know if they ever realize it, because I feel like I don't get many opportunities to show it.

Family is more important to me than friends.

I'm way too loyal for my own good and that has resulted in staying in jobs, friendships, relationships or doing something I flat out don't want to do to please others. I stayed with one job for years longer than I should have because I have a strong sense of loyalty. What a mistake that was!
