Are you a trusting person

i always wanted to be ,,, and i dont care give advantages to others it is very important to be honest i think ,, anyway it is nice discussion ,, i like this type of discussion , so i gave u + for this thanks , be happy and good luck my friend

i am a trusting person..i dono why someone would wanna take advantage of you if u r trustable!!..its just more support you can offer someone..well..like you say, if someone's takin advantage to their own benefit, i might not take it...sometimes, if i see no harm in it, why should i bother??

I have trust issues , caused by a chronic anxiety . I can be VERY distrustful and wary to the point of clinical paranoia , this leads to a build up of pressure that eventually makes me VERY trusting ,as a method of ESCAPE (I pretend the problem isn't there ,so I don't have to worry anymore ,irrationally hoping any problem (cause for distrust)will disappear ) .This had a damaging effect on my social life . Now that I understand myself better , I am hoping to overcome and become more in control of my assessment of people without letting emotions interfere .

I am generally a trusting person. I will trust until I'm given a reason not to, and then I will question everything and the trust has to be earned back.

I think trust is something that has to be earned. I´m not someone who´s afraid that people might take advantage of me. I just observe peoples behaviour towards others first and the n I decide if they are trustworthy or not. If somebody talks to me in a negative way about their friends or aquaintances I know he/she is not to be trusted, because they are most likely to repeat this behaviour with me.

I'm probably trusting to the point of being somewhat naive (I'm getting better as I get older). And yes, people can definitely trust in me.

No I am not a very trusting person. And I do not trust all to many people out there in this world. I proceed with caution because I believe you have to act in this manner in this day & age. There are to many people out there who are willing to take advantage of you. And sometimes will take you for a ride if you trust them to easily. I believe if you trust the wrong person as well that they could end up ruining your life, or even worse getting you in a lot of trouble that could have some serious consequences in the long run. Trust for me takes some time to grow. I don't believe I am the type of person who will just be able to trust someone right off the bat. It takes me some time to warm up to a person. I guess you could say that a lot of people have to prove that they are worthy of my trust before I decide to trust them. I feel the reason I am this way is due to personal experiences in the past. When I was younger I seemed to trust just anyone right off the bat without even questioning there motives or intentions or what not. Because I was willing to trust someone as soon as I had.. It ended up with me getting hurt all to often. There have been times where I had trusted a friend in the past & had thought that I could confide in them some personal information.. And I did & the next thing I know automatically afterwards I'd find out that they had gone ahead.. And told another friend or someone who I didn't know or trust & they'd make a big joke out of it. Or everyone would know my secret which would make me feel rather uncomfortable. I've had instances like this all to often & I feel I had learned from these experiences along the way. I've learned to be careful who you tell things to. Because if you tell the wrong person it can get around rather fast.. And then next thing you know other people know things about you that are so personal that you didn't want everyone to know.. Only the people whom you trusted or we're close to you wanted to know.. And instead of this happening to many times I had been taken advantage of.. My vulnerability had. Another reason I feel I am the way that I am is because I have been lied to all to often in my life time so far along the way. I've had people lie directly to my face when I had asked them something. And after the same person begins to lie to you on a regular basis your trust begins to eventually fade. I have a difficult time trusting someone all over again if all they keep on doing is lying to me all the time. I think because I've had people lie to me non-stop all of my life you begin to trust very few because of this type of behavior that keeps on continuing on. I know when I was younger how.. I used to be rather gullible & believe that just because someone was being nice to you.. That I was able to trust them.. But this is not the case.. Some people will try to be nice to you just so that you will trust them.. And then they are able to take advantage of you in thee end.. I think you have to be very careful with people who may come across as nice or sincere sometimes.. Because in this day & age there a lot of people who are good liars, & are good at what they do.. Because they have done it so many times. In conclusion.. I do not consider myself to be a very trusting person.. I trust very few.. And the people whom I do trust have gained my trust along the way.. And have been rather understanding when it comes to why I trust very few & have such a difficult time trusting others.. I think if someone is more than understanding then it shows that they are willing to prove themselves to you.. I'd like to believe that by me being so cautious when it comes to trusting people.. That it's a good thing.. It helps to not only protect myself, but also the people whom I love around me. I feel by being cautious it has helped me to make some wise decisions when it comes to letting certain people be apart of my life.. The only one in all honesty that I trust fully would have to be myself in thee end! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

i trust for all whom they are really wanted in all the things i trust to give any thing if they needed in urgent i wont appose to forgive all things ...

I used to trust everyone to a point, until they gave me a reason not to. Now although I don't distrust them, I find it a bit harder to give my trust after as many times as I have been taken advantage of. I don't distrust a lot of people, unless they give me a reason... although there a few that just give me a bad feeling. There are many more that I will trust until they give me a reason not to. Once they do me wrong though, it is very hard if not impossible to regain my trust. There are a couple of former friends of mine who recently learned this the hard way. Our friendship was based on trust and when they abused my trust, they lost a very loyal friend.

"The chief lesson i've learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him." ~Henry L. Stimson

i think i'm a trusting person. i believe that for the most part, my friends/aquaintances/whatever will not hurt me. if they do hurt me then i don't trust them the same ever again. i don't worry about being hurt or taken advantage of though. i think it's a skill that i have developed over time by learning how to relate to others. and even though i consider myself trusting, i don't really let other people truly see who am i. i think that if you do that, that will get you hurt no matter what.

sometimes, i do have such worries. we live in a mixed society, and may hurt others accidentally. if that really happens, i will firstly take a strategy to protect myself.
