I agree with Donna that loyalty is a personality trait.
I think you're more likely to express the trait if you've been conditioned to because of events in your past, like Donna was, but sometimes people become really loyal because of how they grew up and evolved as people in general. But sometimes people grow up in very dysfunctional, and sometimes abusive, families where there are no close connections, and loyalty to friends becomes extremely important. I've been loyal to a fault in the past. I've (mostly) learned it's at least more important to protect myself over others now, and not get involved in contentious situations... |

When I really think about it....
I have become more loyal as I have gotten older. I am protective to a fault to some of my friends, I need/value their friendships and Jeffs too. 3 of my closet friends are getting divorced/ going thru hard times right now. I feel loyal to them. bizi

Is it that strong bond and everything that entails, is it defending someone you love against possible abuse or accusations from others, or both? |

I think it is both. It is being there for someone even when something better comes up and listening even when you are not in the mood but the person need s support. I hadn't thought of trusting someone but that is so important rather than a one way street. a best friend tried to steal a boyfriend. I stayed friends with her which was sick
