I used to trust most people and I learned the hard way.  I am very careful now who I trust.

Yes, also my biggest downfall.  My wife can attest to that, see has a few not so nice words she bombards me with when I get zinged by someone. But I follow my heart and I sleep good at nite knowing my intentions were well intended. Expect nothing. Be thankful for what good comes your way from them.

I tend to trust people.  But also I know humans will do anything depending on what pressures are on them at any given time.  Some of my work environments have had the most trustworthy people there.  You could leave cash on the table and it will not move.  One of those places I worked was Stanford University.  Very trustworthy people.  Plus excellent drivers.  With the lowest insurance rate in almost the whole country, because of there good and careful driving habits.  I think the environment, and the level of people they hire had something to do with it.  Most were from stable backgrounds.  Not a lot of inner city garbage of high crime etc.  I got interviewed 5 times before I was hired.  Plus my sister that died worked there as well for a while.  I believe the more you are around somebody the more you can determine how much they should be trusted.  When people do things out of the normal,  that's when you start to see who and what they are inside.  Maybe.  I would love to be a profiler. 

Mmm I trust some people but I dont trust a lot people as I have always been let down so now I dont build my hopes on anyone then I dont feel let down well some times I still get a bit nigled about it but not as hurt as I use to

I trust that everyone will disappoint me at some point. But that is how you build a relationship.. By working through it.

I guess we all disappoint each other sometimes, don't we? Human nature?

Not fully, ever. No one can be trusted.

Wow, you must have met an awful lot of nasty people in your life! Sorry you feel that way.

Colleen

Nope, I've met some very wonderful people but people are people and honesty is something everyone will fail at, at one time or another. All people are self serving no matter how much they claim they are not. We are in this world for ourselves and we will live for ourselves first and foremost. No one is ever 100% trustworthy, that's a fact.

Colleen

"how do u determine who to trust who not?"

Simple, never trust anyone 100% and you'll never be surprised when they fail you.

Colleen

Until they fail you. I bet they've never been put to a true and serious test. Where do you get off saying "boy are you wrong" when you can't ever prove it until you are dead and can then claim even 1 person was perfectly honest and trustworthy to you.

Its good to develop an instinct to figure out what kind of people you can trust. You have to learn to trust some people in life. Your way of life depends on it.

I trust God and everyone until they prove me wrong, then it takes a long time to regain my trust.

" Trust is like a mirror once its broken you can never look at it the same way, it only takes suspicion not proof to destroy it."

yes sometimes you have to , like flying in a jet for example...!

We all have been hurt. I believe it's not always intentional. I have inadvertently caused others discomfort, but there was no intention to do so. Depends on the circumstance as to whether I will have any further dialog with that person.

I trust but few, and paddle my own canoe.

I'm a very trusting person, but I do get bad vibes from those who are not trustworthy and I stay away from them.

I trust that most people will eventually say or do something that will be hurtful to me.  

No!! I don't trust anyone 100%.Apart from one particular person in my life that is.

Everyone else needs to prove themselves before I will even trust them 5%.

I have had a bucket of shit tipped over me by too many so-called friends to be trusting of people.

LOL !!!!!! Ha Ha HA !!!!!!!!!!! So very funny !!!!!!!!! You are kidding right ???? Let me think for a minute ,okay times up ............... My answer is ................................................ NO !!!!!!!!! No way no how not ever ,not in the least . Fact is people will let you down every time the only question is how long it will take ,and how much the final betrayal will cost . Better off kissing snakes at least their true nature is evident at the start . Best to be polite and good natured deal with the facts and extend no trust ,expect nothing or less and you will be okay .

i trust people but sadly some of them let you down. Recently i  sold an expensive desk and credenza for $200 to a young lady with a child when she came to see it. Also sold to her a $250 exec. chair for $60. Pick up time only $200 came but not the $60. still gave the chair only to told she will mail the cheq. 3 months later, nothing. Begs the question should i have trusted her? 460 is no the end of the world but a trust has been breached. 

yes beyond belief it is a reseanable thing to feel that instead of paranoia. I feel vulnerable. thats the difference between the two.

No really. Even when you get to know them really well, they back stab you and turn  your friends against you . Then they  become two faced hypocrites

I trust only 2 people one of them is me the other one is not you.

Its human nature for people to do whats most important to them, first, always!   You maybe second.

If someone attends to your needs first, its because that service is more imporantat to them at the moment.  In this world you gotta always wear your seat belt, "speak softly but carry a BIG stick"

as the man said.  I trust many but if any of them think that they can take advantage of my trust they better duck.  Here commeth the Biggeth Sticketh.  I'm always "on".   

Trust is something that is earned, not given away easily.

He comes across as a really nice chap,in a way im annoyed about what my son and my friend said but i can see their point,its lovely to think they were looking out for me.So im a bit stuck...

A man i know to chat to asked if he could call for coffee,so i said yes,youll be welcome,i thought it was a nice idea.My son wiped the floor with me,my friend wasnt very pleased with me either.Seemed such a nice person too,doesnt look like an axe murderer...

I think you can trust people most of the time BUT not all the time!

Only if they eat pork.

"Trust but Verify" (Russian proverb):  I have learned, over the years, to trust my wisdom and experience to discern who's trustworthy and who's not.  To trust people blindly in this day and age could bring harm to yourself and especially to your family.  Be careful, trust your gut feeling, and don't just blindly trust people.

I do some, some I don't.

No, I am especially suspicious of those that are extrmely nice to me.  Sad to say, but this is the truth.

no only your famliy sometime like a friend say i will help trust them maybe
