Hello friend,
It's nice to share with my views with your discussion again. You know my friend, don't be judge someone else in the first meeting. Because you cannot read inside a person heart. Even in his/her physical appearance because our eyes can will be deceiving.
We need being humble in all the aspect in our life. Because that is the simplicity of everything we does in future...

Don't worry about it, my friend. I understand that your going to school now. Because in your country, September is a school time. Here in the Philippines, June is the opening of class...
I am proud with you my friend. Because your doing your part as student. Study hard to make you better in school. There is no hard for a student studying well in school. I know you can do it and you make the best in your class...
Take care and have a great day!

No stranger can be trusted. Only friends can be trusted, so if you want to trust someone first you must have them as a friend.
There are ways to see if you want a stranger to be a friend, when I talk to them, if they use eye contact, and don't show nervousness, how firmly they grip my hand for the handshake, the words they use, the tones they use and most importantly the values they hold in their speech.
Cheers.

It is deeply learning, and trusting to your intuition, I choose not keep strangers in my life, at the very least I will make them an acquaintance, which is quite different from a friend.
You have to be kind of careful, making friends with everyone you meet. Some people are crazy, and some people are not, some people are awesome, and some just seem that way. Experience is key. Talk to at least one new person each day.
Cheers.

Hello Ypyanyan. Sometimes our first impressions are correct, but not always. I don't think "trust" should be an automatic given, but rather something we earn. With time and behavior, with contact and knowledge, can we decide if someone merits our trust.
Even at that, a long-time friend or family member can at some point violate that trust, which is a shame! 
Good discussion topic!

Hi,how are you.
The feeling.Good or not is so easy to feel,but someone is good at pretending to be a good person and easy to get trust,but it won't keep long ,right?Of course,I think it depends on individuals,someone is easy to trust others,and someone won't trust others until they show friendly with them.
Good luck,and most people is good.

I think life's vicissitudes make us careful of the person we are dealing with.Yes it happens to me too but these days i am open to asking a few questions to gauge whether the nature of the other person.I try to observe the other person for a while before concluding whether he is trust worthy or not.I can't say what you are doing is good or bad but i will only say try to make small talk to gauge the other person's response before deciding whether the person is harmful or not.

look at his eyes, you will see his sincerity. ask something and listen on the way he talk or give out his answer to the question. if he sounds nice or not or if his answer have sense or not. if the person don't care about you or whats going on once you ask him a question he can easily answer hose without thinking if the answer is good enough or not as if they don't really care.
