Am I the only one?

No.... I have a hard time trusting people. Only cause I been hurt to many times. :(
 
You have good reason not to, Blue. There's something to be said for caution when there's possible danger. It's called wisdom. It's knowing what it is that you don't know.

PB..............if you never trust someone, and you never risk,
you never open yourself up to the possibilty of finding someone trustworthy.
*LoL* well no siren ;)

Why is so much of life spent holding people off at arms distance? Why are some of us chosen time and again for friendship and others of us wait in the wings...reaching out again and again only to be disappointed.

My experience tells me that people will seem trustworthy to get information out of you that can later be used to bring you down.

The game...

One explanation is timing. People just aren't synchronized. They usually aren't ready for the same thing at the same time.

Another way of looking at it is that past experience teaches you to handle the challenges & appreciate the pleasures & priveldges yet to come.
I often wonder that If I'd have avoided a regretable mistake in my past ,if I wouldn't have repeated it endlessly on a smaller scale, or ruined my life on a grand scale by making it later, only bigger, simply because I didn't learn the hard lesson.

I'm a better person for having loved others. I hope they're a bit better for it, too. I never would have met then if I'd married my highschool sweetheart.

Patience, Grasshopper.;)

I dont mean you are being negative.


I mean feeling negative about trusting
as in not trusting anyone,

will only make you feel bad.

And that even if you might get betrayed.......
and believe me, we all have been betrayed big time for trusting.........be it spouse, SO, friend, family........
we all get betrayed.......

but not trusting..........
is a negative
and if you dont trust sometime.........
you might not find those that are trustworthy.

that is all I meant.


Understood. I'm a tad defensive tonight.

Aren't you happier living in your new body?

OH! How did you spend my $20 on it? Lessons or Lingerie?


My *new* body has provided a whole new book of lessons to learn. My body is still changing...I caught myself in a mirror today as I walked through the store and I had to stop and stare. It is confusing. I'm at the same place I was before when I got scared and quit trying. The challenge this time will be to keep going...

who finds it difficult to trust people?

exactly... it just takes time.

Try not to give to much of yourself to fast.

hell last time i got dumped on, it was not a case of it hurting, but more a case of i was expecting it so it didn;t hurt at all.

weird? yup

cynical? definately

the truth? unfortunately :(
 
Trust is something to be earned, not given carelessly.

There is a difference between going into a situation warily and assuming that everyone is out to screw you. Caution is a good thing.

To approach every situation as if the person you are dealing with would catch a bullet for you is crazy, just as assuming every person you come in contact with has a bullet for you is extreme and unrealistic.

Better to go into an interaction open to whatever the interaction holds - almost everything, good and bad, holds a lesson--either about yourself or human nature. The only universal truth is that nothing is a universal truth. People have bad days, people have good days. Some people are assholes, and some are saints.

Only most times its not that easy to tell which is which until you've made an investment.
