do you always believe what other people say?

Well I guess it depends on who are you talking with.If you really know the person that you are talking too then maybe he/she is reliable in ways.It is okay to give doubts at people at times and never believe easily .Some people may tell you the truth and some may just not but most important of all is that you know deep down you who can be trusted and never break those trust too, trust is hard earned.

I don't really take anything at face value as much as possible. It's not that I'm a skeptic or anything, I just don't want to make hasty conclusions about anything until I have taken even just a little time to ascertain the truth of what I've been told. But sometimes it's a little bit hard though if the person telling me something is a relative or a close friend. Sometimes I just believe in them because I just have faith that they're not making things up. But I also don't think having some doubts at times is bad. We all have some reservations especially if we don't share the same belief or opinion on the matter being said.

After being lied to by many I always leave room for doubt, I hate being like this but from experience it is always wise not to be too trusting.

hi shylade i am not that fun of believing other people especially if they are telling something about someone like friends, family , love ones and many more. i would believe in the saying that to see is to believe, because there are many insecure people who claims to know something.

I'm not a pushover, but I tend to take people at face value. I think most people are basically honest. I know I wouldn't want to be doubted when I am telling the truth, so I try to give the same courtesy to everyone. If the story is not believable, that is another story... if the story doesn't make sense, or if the person talks too much trying to mislead me so I can't follow I might mistrust them, but if the person is open and direct, I will believe until that person shows me he/she can not be trusted.

To be honest as well, i usually doubt the words of the other people. That is because we, humans, lie too frequently, right? Although not always. But after i read a book about human behavior, my perspective towards believing people changed. See, we humans actually see the world in our own vision and what we think is right is right for us even if it is not actually right. That's how i learned to put myself in his/her own shoe and i would refrain from blowing his/her pride off by forcing him/her to believe me. After that, i research or ask about people if what he/she is telling is the truth. That's when i tell him/her where i got it and encourage him to visit my sources. Well, happy mylotting. Have a great day.

I used to believe most things, except those that were utterly too fantastic to believe, but I have believed what have appeared to be ordinary things, only to discover that I was being made the butt of a joke. I don't mind, but it can make me feel somewhat silly, because these days, I have become a very skeptical person. _Derek

That depends on who I am talking with. I do not believed in gossips- it's up to me to know the truth.

I will certainly look into their eyes to make sure that they are speaking the truth.Anything needs believe,i just believe that my friend who gives me info,and i think everybody should have such ability to judge whether it's true or not.Thanks for sharing.

not really.. but the benefit of the doubt sometimes... but me, i need some proof to convince myself.. but i dont always believe "her say"

I think it depends on the person whom I am talking too. If I don't trust the person 100%, I don't believe him quickly. I am not really a quick believer. There is always a doubt. They said if the person cannot look straight at your eyes, there is a probability that he is lying. Better don't believe quickly.

After cheated by i person! now i dont believe what people say. now if i do anything then i thing what is good & what is wrong for me. then i take ,,,,

Just verify what he/she says. Person1: I bought a cat! Person2: *goes to see it* (oh it's true! she did!) Of course that's a simple one, but there's always a way to verify (before or later) if what he/she said is true. If a person always says the truth, you can easily trust him/her and if he ever says a lie he either can't stand the "weight" and will let you know or it's a really important matter you'll know later. If a person is usual to lie, that means he/she will keep doing it, I know many persons which lie pretty much about everything, it's addictive I think, THOSE are people you shouldn't trust and don't expect much (or even bother) when verifying if it's true or not. Of course it's harder to find (or even have in your life) persons which are honest, but if you do, don't be always so doubtful or consider them liars even if they always proved viceversa or else you'll push them "away" from you and you'll lose them, keeping in your life only the persons which you are right to doubt of.

Hello friend! Its a great subject to discuiss. In my focus not at all time. But some times i belive. Because there have some truth. So i belive some times which other peoeple say. But some times i dont agree also with other people.

Hi Shylade, No, it's not wrong at all, I used to be quite naive when it came to this stuff. I did not realize the extent to which some people would lie just to lie. And then there are the ones that hear something, believe it without checking any facts and pass it on.

I seldom believe for 100% what other people say. People lie way to much and they also like to show off. So I listen to what they say, how they say it, I ask questions to find out if it's true (or they keep to their story or if it's their own story at all). I even check it elsewhere if necessary. BTW even investigations/interviews/research etc I don't just believe. Since if it comes to that the questions are always made that way to confirm what the investigator is looking for. I think the only thing that counts is that you count on yourself and you check what is told. So I agree with yuou a little doubt doesn't harm at all.

Hello friend... I am a believer of other's words..I will easily believe others..They might be my enemies..But on that time,I will not remember that things..I will be very close to them..And some of my friends scolds me on this topic...Thanks

i seldom believe others, so i first try to confirm it to others who is also responsible or who can relate about the news. If we talk about other point of views, it takes a lot of time so that they could change my side and i will go with them.

I sometimes find myself too gullible with others. I don't know whether its good or bad....

in my case, i don't really believe on the things that other people say. i always find ways to verify or to make sure of he/she is telling the truth. i really don't want people to lie to me and i don't want to be fooled by lies.
