Is my friend loyal to me? 49.5 > 55

[rocketqueen1313]

I have a friend who I suspected was being fake to me and then I asked the I-ching whether my suspicion was true or not and I got hex 49.5 > 55.
I guess that's telling me that my suspicion is not true at all, because this line speaks of trust and leads to abundance (55). Maybe it's pointing out that I should trust her?

I'm going to share one possibility and will be interested in what others say.

For me, some of the commentaries on this line have been correct and what they say, essentially, is that you already know the answer, that it's really obvious, and that maybe you don't actually need to ask I Ching this question. The tiger "changing" also gives me pause. It sounds like two-faced to me, or at least it could be. Some people think the lines are never good or bad, that they can pretty much always auspicious or inauspicious depending on your situation. I don't necessarily always know how to apply that but it might apply here. Does this answer fall into a category of "obvious"? How exactly was the question phrased? If it was "Is my suspicion true" and you received this, then it seems like it's referring to your suspicion, that yes it is true.

Please also take this with a grain of salt and always sit with it or investigate further or ask more questions for clarity. Also, sometimes these things can be resolved even if a suspicion is correct.

The thing is that I believed I was overthinking because I haven't seen enough evidence in "real life" of her not being loyal. It was a thought that crossed my mind and I held onto it. But thanks for your 2 cents.

It might best to write out the exact, actual question you asked. Asking if something is "true or not" may not be an ideal structure, if that is what you asked because it's hard to know what is being answered.
