Lessons of Jamaa #34: They're Your Items, Not Anyone Else's

Hello fellow jammers. I am RjKingBeast, a friend of Breathless'. She asked me to write about an idea I had for this blog, so here I am. 

Well, recently there have been a lot of scammers and "trust trading." Every now and them someone doesn't give back an item and then it becomes a scam. Or by trust trading, they accept a good item for a very non-rare item and that becomes a scam. My question is: Why would you let your guard down like that? They can keep it and never give it back. I would be struck by guilt if I ever did that. But some people don't feel as bad as others. 

*Note: This was November of 2011* I once let my friend (she is anonymous for reasons and she quit) borrow a pair of purple gazelles that I recently got. She was a really great friend of me and I told her everything. From what I last ate at dinner to guys that I liked. She was a great friend. That's right. Was. When I first let her borrow them, she was cool and stayed by me to let me know that she wasn't going to scam. But, around 2 hours later, she told me "Bye." and just left me there while she went into a locked den. I thought she was laughing with an evil smile on her face with friends. A few minutes later her friend and herself came to where I was. Her friend told me "Sorry for your loss..." and just went back to her den. My best friend look at me and said, and I quote: "These are mine now. You can forget me :)" and just deleted me and left. I was so shocked when she did that. I couldn't tell if it was real or joking. 

I was scared, like I did something wrong. A few hours of tears with other friends I realized that she wasn't in it for the friendship. She was in it for the rares. It showed me what some of these "jammers" are. They're not always good friends. You can't just walk down rainbow road with her/him and think: "Oh, I can trust him" when he/she asks to borrow. They're yours. Not theirs. Just because you think they're gonna be a good friend and give them back doesn't always come out right in the end. A lot of what I just said happened to one of my great friends the other day. One of her/hum "friends" asks and she/he let him/her control her. Like it didn't even phase her. (Note, anonymous people for reasons) I told him/her that she/he made the person who scammed rare. Not the person. She/he did. It was his/her rare item, not the scammer's.

I learned after the 7th time I got scammed: Not everyone is who they seem. If someone asks to borrow my items, I'm honestly going to say "You're not a real jammer" and just leave them. They're not a real friend if they do that. If they can't live with what they have, which I'm not saying to traders, then why not trade for it, not scam it. You should be grateful for what you have, and not what you don't. It's not like the end of the world has came and you just lost your family to it. Also, don't always believe what they say. They can lie to you and say their stuff was scammed or they were hacked. I honestly don't believe when they say hacked. Because most of the people on here are 8-13 and I doubt they know how to get into an account.

My grandma used to always tell me: "If you can't live the way now, then change it with yourself. Not with others. But only ask people when you need help. Moving furniture alone is really tough for my age." She's 89 and she went to Harvard. I think she knows whose real and whose not.

Once again, those items are yours. Not theirs. Keep them safe and trade them for items that you want. I am RjKingBeast. Thanks for reading.
EDIT: (Rj) When MagicDream said she was giving Imperative a top hat for what she did, SHE NEVER EVEN DID. Magic doesn't feel bad. Because she's a total drama queen. She can't get enough of her self and she can't get her own rares. Whoever thinks she did right was all wrong. Imp gave away all her items to friends cause she didn't want them. She gave Animalgirl58943 a pink top that she's wearing now. Imp was the hero. Imp made Magic rare. Magic did the same thing to Animalgirl58943 with the top hat nonsense. She's a lazy person cause she can't get rares herself.  I really dislike her for everything that's she's done. She's not a good person. Only someone with bad friends would be that cruel to an innocent little girl.
