Sharing time with someone is a sure fire way to build up a friendship, particularly when we are good listeners. Sharing stories, sharing little snippets of our life, revealing our ‘real’ self to another person requires a ‘leap of faith’. How will someone react when we tell them about a problem worrying us, or sharing a secret that we have kept to ourselves?  Fair weather friends may dessert us in times like this, but good friends stick by us until the end. How do we know if it’s the end? If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.
