how far can you trust someone.?

Trust is a human illusion. All trust is a projection of how you expect others to act,well here is the news, it's a lie, others act always in their best interest. Each of us faces a life road and all goes smoothly until one's road runs across or even into another's road. Just like traffic, you trust that it will all continue in the same direction at the same speeds and do nothing that causes accidents. But we know accidents happen all the time, a car breaks down, a moment of inattention on the part of another driver, something interfers with the flow of traffic and all our trust has been misplaced. For some reason humans feel great comfort in feelings of trust. We really can't even trust ourselves, under certian conditions, when we feel threatented we may act in ways we never have before.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. I think the trust factor depends on an individual, the person might trust the other one blindly or may be partially. If a person feels secured in the other person's company and can well assure that he is happy then he can trust that person. But trusting someone more than one's life can be a foolish decision. We need to have faith on ourselves first and should observe the action of that person and then we should take our decision wisely. What say?

Hi friend, you are right, we will lose our trust if our friends do cheating activities to us, it is really hard to rebuild the trust if once it was lost. Friendship is like a glass particle which should be handled with care. I will give second chance to my friends if their mistake is a silly one, but i don't have the same attachment with them like before

There is no gauge or even measurement, it is unlimited once you had trusted someone. But then, if the trust will be snap out of your senses towards other people. The result, it will be hard to trust them anymore.

It’s hard to trust someone nowadays since it’s a dog-eat-dog world. Many would compete just to satisfy success. However, if you would trust somebody you should try looking at yourself and ask if you trust yourself why? If you trust yourself you know your limitations on putting or sharing information to somebody. Try to put a demarcation line on the information you put up on a person. In that way you know that you’re safe on a traitor.

'To Trust' is a quality of human being. We are prone to trust people. That is why we prepare 'Group'. We have to prepare a set of arguments within ourselves for 'Not to trust a person'. Trust may get a shake due to misbehavior. That doesn't imply that Trust will disappear.

I trust someone fully with all my heart. Because if not doing it...how can someone trust on me.

I give full trust to people that I love. Yes, trust is something that we should value- once we lost that trust everything won't be the same again. I am the kind of person who gives complete trust to anyone who shows me honesty and made me feel comfortable. It's hard to tell honest people until we prove they are one.

Trust is the factor which every one has to handle it carefully, but most of the people handle it the way they like it. We all do the mistake in life but if we do it once it is fine but when we repeat it, its become sort of habit and we go one doing it, nice example you have give of eraser in this regards. Hurting anyone is always more then harmful, we do hurt someone but while doing so we does not keep in our mind how much we had hurt other person and how badly that person will take it. I always tell other keep yourself in other person place and see how you will feel when someone hurts you.

It is sad to know that those people who truly have a good heart fall into prey by those people who abuse their kindness and generosity. These good-hearted people may give more than one chance to a person who might have wronged them. But there certainly is a limit on all things. Hurting a person for the second time is more than enough.

As for me trust is earned and once its tarnished it will ruined everything and cant be returned back to its original state. We may forgive but the hardest is to forget specially if the pain is too much that broken down the pieces of yourself. We may give chance to the person we love most who causes the pain, however, the stain lives on and it will result to "doubts" in everyway he or she does. To repair a damaged trust is a long shot and must be genuine on his or her intention in words and in deeds.

Well, personally it's really hard for me to totally trust someone. Usually my trust for a person is only about 50 percent. Because i don't like to get my hope high and get hurt.

I am a trusting person. You can't test how I trust people in every way. but if this trust is broken.. I will never ever trust that person anymore. I may forgive this person... but I will never give my trust again. sorry. You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. Steve Jobs http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/trust.html

Trust is very hard to get, but easily be ruin. Be thankful that a person trusts you. And also beware of the person, who are you going to trust fully . You don't know they are backbiting you, saying words about you that you don't know. I remember my teacher in accounting, our adviser as well when i was in high school, because we keep on doing mistakes to her, we are the noisiest among sections. We always ask sorry to her for not doing that. But she would also always told us "Children, I trusts you, but i don't believe in you. "

I can say I'm the kind that very difficult to trust anyone. But I don't mind to mix with people, make friend to anyone, but to say I trust someone, it's very difficult to me. But friend or anybody can borrow money from me and I can easily give them my money, but later on if they don't return it, I just don't bother about that cause as I said, I don't trust anyone. I'm giving them just because I like to be a kind person when I have extras. I don't like to have confrontation with people surround me. So, when I make friend, they just friend but I will put no hope on them. If I'm in need, I will try to look the solution myself and never hope from people.

Yes, some people choose to hurt their loved ones again and again. They are confident that they'd receive forgiveness after doing foolish things. However, there are some people who avoid to hurt their loved ones. I guess committing a mistake once is enough. They learn from that mistake. They say that it's okay for a man to commit a mistake once but if a man commits the same mistake twice, he's a fool. Is that right? I can't clearly remember. I'm a bit sleepy now. LOL. It's almost 2am now and I have to sleep.

I beg to differ a little bit. Trust are belief of a person. If it gets smaller and smaller you must know that this is certainly not a trust. It is eternal and will remain even bad time.
