With what I have been through it is hard for me to trust people. So it does take a lot for me to have a close in person friendship with someone. I consider 2 girls who were my best friends before I had what happen to me at the age of 13 and one of which was a friend since I was 5 are my very close friends. Those two friends are there for me at any time of day no matter what. They just listen and don't even have to say a thing. They let me cry on there shoulders and give me hugs. Other than my family and my therapist and school counselor those two are the only ones I trust with physical contact such as hugs and pats on the back and other touch of a non sexual nature of course.
I do not use Social Media mostly due to the situation I was in and I feel it would totally overwhelm me. I have had photos of me taken by my friends using Snapchat which I really don't get the purpose of it especially the part of everyone knowing your location or area you are in which is scary to me after what I have been through in the past.
In the end though I if I go through life with my two girlfriends I will be extremely happy.
