I do not trust anyone soon. I take my time in trusting people. I do not know if it's a negative quality. For me it is just a mechanism which i have adopted to avoid hurt.

Hi Anamika, I didnot know why but, I can trust on any one, with in just few talks. And I always take care that My acts should not hurt others. I also believe that, if I will not hurt or cheat anyone , I will also not get cheated by others. But some times It didnot work.I have one quality in my life , I didnot know whether it is positive or negative but, I never expect any thing from others. As their is no expectation from others , I did not depend too much on others so no damage can be done by others.

I trust a person sooner than later and sometimes due to this habit of mine, I land into trouble, I feel I should be more discreet and patient (like YOU). :):)

I trust everyone whom I meet unless and until they have proved otherwise.As I do not do anything to break other persons trust so that is what I expect from others and believe me there are very rare people who have broken my trust.

Hi sunita64! There is a saying "what you give is what you get". But it is not true always. Thanks for responding to the discussion.

Trust is earned, so I think every each and one of us should work hard to prove ourselves worthy for people to owe us their trust. I sometimes get some good impressions on people easily, but I guess I can say that impressions are just a "glimpse" of a person's true being. I think if we both could get to know more of each other, then that's a good start. But there are also people who have other intentions on someone, and with that I know I have to get a hold of myself and not easily put trust on someone.

It depends on my gut feel sometimes, there were people I cannot easily trust with. But most of the time I do really trust people... most of the time my friends caution me regarding the way I trusted people of new aquiantance, but my life principle is that; if they broke my trust with them its their problem not mine.

I think I am far too trusting and it has been my downfall in the past. I try to see the best in everyone and although most of the time my instincts are good, people will always let me down.

No,I take much more time to trust anybody.Todays people are so artificial that you can not judge them quickly.So it take time to understand anybody.

Maybe i take long time to really trust people as to open up with them but this is only because of bad experiences.. it's my nature to trust people easily and to expect the best from people as i'm trusting person by nature, I just try to fight it back as long as i possible :)

it taks me a long time to trust someone,especially now days because it seems like everyone is just looking out for their own good and if they have to throw you in the fire to benefit out of something they will do it just to get ahead

I rarely trust people. After some time I'll loosen up but never right away. I've been hurt before and I refuse to go through that again. Trust too early can't be a good thing.

Hi HarlemsFlyest212! I am like you too. I have been hurt earlier too, so now i am very cautious when coming to trust people fast. I take some time loosening up.Thanks for responding to my discussion.

at first i don't trust anyone and even after i've known them a while i still have my doubts. i guess it's just from too many negative experiences when i was younger of trusting people i shouldn't have. so now i just have an issue with believing people are being honest.

We should not trust in people so early,but we should try to know them first and i must say that complete trust is risky but we should be more careful while meeting with strangers and doing,sharing something with them ..........

It seems to me that most of our best friends we make when we're young... Later friends are just never the same. I'm very lucky in that my husband and I married young and have mutual friends we've had for ages.. I've never been one for going out with the girls.. or out to lunch or even having coffee, but like being a loner, otherwise my husband and I party with our friends three or four times a year with one set and a couple times a year with another.. as far as our friends go. - We have some really good friends! We're very blessed! I've heard some stories tho!!

I have always trusted people... No more.. I do not know if I will ever ever trust anyone again!! I found out a month ago the my best friend and husband of 27 years has been having a affair for 13 years with one wpman and a number of flings along with it! He was the person I trusted most in the world.. we had lived together for 2 years before marrying and had been together for about 30 years.. I have spent over 1/2 my life thinking one thing when in reality it was a big fat farse! So to answer your question I will not be finding it easy to trust anyone!

One should not trust fast. Because you would get hurt fast too. So it is good for you.

Honestly I trust people to a certain limit. I will listen to what you say, watch what you do, how you treat others and your level of respect for others. The thing is anything you do to others you will do the same to me. So I guess like you I dont trust people very much either so if someone does something bad I was expecting it. its not that you go around looking for people to give you reasons to distrust them but it is indeed safer this way for me and I dont expect too much from no one, but I expect anything.
