What are your requirements in giving out your trust?

I once read a sign that said " In God we trust, everyone else pays cash".

i think most of us trust at first, until something happens and we learn to be wary with them afterwards. however, once in a while, we also encounter people with whom we just don't feel at ease right from the beginning.

I've never really thought about requirements to giving my trust. I tend to trust people in general unless I have a particular reason not to, even if that reason is a feeling or instinct. As I get to know people, I'll learn whether I can trust them, how much I can trust them, and with what I can trust them. General trust (such as trusting someone to be honest or not have ulterior motives) is given unless it is broken. Anything beyond that must be built up and earned by demonstrating trust through little things. There are different people I trust with different things.

I always trust people until they show that they don't deserve to be trusted. But it is more rare than you seem to believe.

I don't trust someone until I know I can. I feel that if you trust someone and then find out later that they aren't trustworthy, who gets hurt? You do, not them. Trust needs to be earned. What do you have to lose by not trusting someone? Nothing. But by trusting the wrong person you may have something to lose, depending on what you trusted them with. I don't expect anyone to trust me, either - how do you know you can? You don't, only I know that. That's my opinion.

I have a problem here, I trust people right away.

I just dont give it out..rarely if ever
