What percentage of people you've met do you consider a genuinely good person? Someone you could trust your life with if need be? (lemm.ee)

Having been through a bad health situation, I understand what you mean. Not even my own parents supported me.

That's terrible.
They are the only ones that are supposed to help you.
Also the people you consider real friends can let you down.
In my experience it's sometimes the ones you don't expect that are there for you.
You didn't ask their help and are just close enough to vent your problems.
Those are the good people and that gives me a sparkle of hope for the otherwise very grim world.

That has been my experience too. The not expected actually there for you friend. There are friends we feel close to and friends who would drop everything to come lend aid. There may be some overlap between those two groups, but don't mistake the former for the latter.
