Of course, you can definitely trust someone. But you should be very careful about it. Anyone's not safe from being hurt by the lies that someone would throw at you. Even husband and wife do lie to each other. I think it's just a matter of being honest to each other and when you finally found the right one, you will not bear to lie to them, or maybe you would out of protecting him/her.

I agree, But i hate being lied to, even if it is a small lie, i would rather get hurt by truth, by finding out a lie & the truth at the same time, I know lies comes easy, I think most people lie, because they scared of the outcome. Thank you for responding :-)

I do agree. People do lie because they are scare of the outcome of the truth. I also hate being lied to and I think the best solution for that is to be careful with the people that you will trust. You're welcome! :-)

Hi It is human and natural to trust.My learning is you should trust and allow you to be trusted. So long you dont lie to yourself and true to your inner callings, no body can hurt you even by lying to you. sometime people close to you lie to protect you or because of their genuine fear of losing something but caring and understanding people you trust will go a long way in establishing true friendship.

Its really hard to give your trust to someone. But sometimes we have to risk it and trust someone. Cause like the saying goes, no man is an island.

It depends. In my lifetime I have not found one person that I did not catch in a lie! It aggravates me because some people think well whats a little white lie so no one gets hurt. But what they do not realize is that when a person finds out about that little white lie by then its a whole blown out lie! Lies can hurt people but then sometimes the truth can hurt as well, so we tend to fib to keep those we love from the pain it may cause!

Honestly,i always trust people who around me,and it must be my good friends,since people all lie and even your friends.Sometimes so we need ourselves own decisions.Only yourself is the most trustworthy person and treat yourself better.Plus,i love my parents and only they two the most important persons in my life.

Once we become a bit close to someone we will know whether we can trust them or not. in my opinion ,yes some people can be trusted..

Everybody lies. It is hard to trust anybody nowadays. I only trust a few people whom I really see that they are real to me. Trust those people when you feel their sincerity.
