Riddle Me This...

It has been FOREVER since I posted on here and I am mad at myself for not keeping up with this. I am going to be more diligent because I really do enjoy posting and I must admit that I am fascinated with blogs and really love reading others!

So....Riddle Me This.... Do you think people judge people by the friends they keep? Here is the situation that I am in. I have a friend at work, my W.B.F.F. (Work Best Friend Forever) but she is not very liked by people. She speaks her mind too much and sometimes is just plain rude. I love her but sometimes I want to strangle her too. Because we have grown so close though, I deal with her quirks and she deals with mine as well. The question came up though if people trust me...Would they be afraid to tell me something because they know that she and I go to lunch and chat.

I got to thinking about that and was worried if my friendship with her would change my work relationship with others. I would like to think that people would know that I would not betray their confidence and that maintaining professionalism is very important to me..but I still wonder.

I have a similar situation as well though and I do find myself judging. There is a girl that I know who I knew before I worked at my current job and we have hung out in the past. Over the last few years, she has grown closer and closer to my A.E. (Arch Enemy) at work, who I refer to as T.W. (message me if you want to know what that stands for). These two are always on each other's facebook and chatting at work and T.W. asked me about something that I had told my friend that was not something that I wanted shared. That totally changed my whole perspective and I have distanced myself due to that. My friend even at one point asked me what I thought of T.W. and said that T.W. thought that I hated her...I don't hate her! To me, she is a bug that needs to be squashed. I think T.W. is rude and just a plain jerk.

So with all that being said, since I am judging this friend because she is close to T.W., are people judging me with my W.B.F.F.?

Hmmmmmmmmm....

On a side note, Ry doesn't think that "best friends" really exist. He thinks that a best friend is someone that you can say anything to without judgement EVER and that is not possible.
