I think I have a Julius Caesar Syndrome. Caeser thought Marcus Brutus was his friend until Brutus came up to him as one of his assassins and stabbed him. I’m weary of trusting people all of the time. I think that once you’ve been stabbed, you don’t want to go through it again. It’s hard to trust again. I wouldn’t say it’s any of those building of defense mechanisms and other nice interpersonal theories. I believe it has more to do with just losing faith in people. I’ve bought into being self-reliant. I’ve bought into the media myth that real men are tough guys who don’t need anybody. I’ve changed a lot of that in recent years, but it’s still an ongoing process.
I only consider the people really close to me my friends. And I would say that I would only trust these 5 or so guys with everything my mind thinks of on a regular basis. I’ve had about 3 different conversations recently where someone trusted in me with some information that they didn’t want to leave the room. And I think to myself that I can’t do that with them….not yet.
