Do You Still Ordinarily Trust Others?

[Cbsteffen]

I used to be so trusting, but now as I age and find more and more people abuse my trust I  am getting to where I trust less.  Now it must be earned and then sometimes I am very wary of  some people.  Our world has changed so much. Used tobe we could go  off and leave our doors unlocked and now you have to make sure everything is locked up tight and then that does not  always stop some people.

That’s why I find teleportation dangerous. If you could teleport through locked up places, you could also get away with a crime!

I don't generally trust people, it has to be earned. In the past, I have trusted and been let down. These days you have to really watch your back.

Yes I trust them until they do something that I won't trust them.

Yes I trust them until they do something that I won't trust them.

I will not get to close immediately any more, but I usually give them the benefit of the doubt.

I like the saying but I think there should be a different eraser for each person.  By all means, I do understand where you are coming from.  But there are some great people out there and I hope you don't miss out of a great relationship because you are assuming everyone is untrustworthy.

For reasons unknown to me, I've always been slightly suspicious of others. Most of time its unfounded, but some times I'm right

For me trust is earned however I do not automatically think everything some else does is a lie I give the benefit of doubt.

I’ve read the quote, “Trust is like an eraser. It gets smaller and smaller after every mistake.” My trust has become extremely tiny now because people lie or frequently jump to conclusions!

Hello!

I think the problem is that I just trust too easy, I try to see the best of everyone. It's just my naiveness that put me in trouble I know that for sure. I need to change my thinking pronto!

I do feel that i cant trust anyone however i agree with sherryinutah

Trust is earned.  I'm willing to respect people and with time I might learn to trust them.

Also, there are different flavors of trust.

I honestly have NO one that I would believe everything that they say to me.  Once someone lies to me, I don't trust them again easily and there is always this little underlying doubt if what they say is true.

I trust all people until they give me a reason to distrust them. Then its done I usually don't trust them anymore.

I don’t trust companies and their representatives anymore. If they try to lure people to join their company because they have to rely on their financial contributions, I take it with a grain of salt. I do not fall into their ploy so easily until they prove themselves worthy with integrity. I agree 100% that trust needs to be earned.
