Loyalty and loyalties

Sometimes we use “loyalty” to refer to the practical disposition to persevere in affiliation attachments. More commonly we speak of loyalties to specific associations.

Our generic disposition to be loyal is expressed in loyalties to certain kinds of natural or conventional associations, such as friendships, families, organizations, professions, countries, and religions. Reasons for that associations that evoke and exact our loyalty tend to be those with which we have become deeply involved or identified. This is implicit in the working definition’s reference to “intrinsically valued associational attachments.” Intrinsically valued associational attachments are usually those with which we have developed some form of social identification. We have come to value the associational bond for its own sake (whatever may have originally motivated it) Our loyalties are not just to any groups that may exist, or even to any group with which we have some association, but only to those to which we are sufficiently closely bound to.

Loyalty is that someone Is always there for you no matter if you sad, they're always there to support you they check in if you're doing okay

My loyalties are to my friends, my family, my profession, or our country, not yours, unless yours are also mine. In such identifications, the fate or well-being of the objects of loyalty become bound up with one’s own. We feel shame or pride in their doings. We will take extra risks or bear special burdens for them.

Although our primary loyalties tend to be to associations or groupings that are socially valued, such that loyalty may seem to be an important practical disposition, this need not be the case. Theoretically speaking any association can become intrinsically important to us, whether or not it is generally valued, and it may do so even if it is socially despised

If u feel your loyalty isn’t returned and only for the benefit of whoever your loyal to the best option is distancing yourself and remember to only allow people around who have proved their loyalty to u numerous of times to protect you from getting emotionally or mentally hurt.

Human psychology is complex. It is difficult to determine whether someone will be loyal to you in the future. However, the aforementioned traits are generally found in a loyal person. These tips may be helpful in both personal and professional life. If these traits are present in someone you have recently met or in someone who is already in your life, then this person is more than likely to remain loyal to you in the future.

A loyal person will value honesty above everything else and this is the primary trait. A loyal friend may not agree with you on every matter; however, he/she will never be pretentious. A loyal friend will be a friend in need and will stand by you through the tough periods of your life. Whether you go through breakups, suffer from an illness, or have to withstand other difficulties, you will never feel alone when you are with a loyal friend.

Loyalty means being consistent in your treatment, behavior, and regard for another. It’s important to be reliable and dependable—someone who can be counted on to show up. Loyalty also involves consistently treating the other person with kindness, fairness, and generosity of spirit.
