Are you a trusting person?

Hi apples99 I am a very trusting person. I am willing to trust everyone and anyone until they prove to be otherwise then they have probably already taken advantage of my good nature! So it is probably not a good idea to be as trusting as I am because you will get hurt without a doubt! I am cautious though so I am not entirely stupid!!LOL

Nope, I don't trust anyone. Been scr*wed over too much in my life.

No, I'm not a very trusting person. I usually semi-trust new people that come into my life because they haven't hurt me yet. Unfortunately I have been fooled by people too many times that once someone lies or steals from me I won't be able to completely trust them again no matter how much time passes.

no iam not a trusting person at all i have been done wrong so many times my guard has been up for many years i probably don,t know how to reust anyone. it seems the person you love the most is the one who will hurt you the most.and when i try to trust a person it never truns out the way it should so i give up.

Like you, I keep my guard up until I get to know a person pretty well. At that point, I will begin to open up a bit. After a while, I may actually trust someone. If that trust is broken, it is almost impossible for me to trust that person again.

i never lied to people but it seems this seldom do good , people nowdays always carry some color with them to contact with others? what caused people don’t have the safty to show their own face and mind???

I am a really trusting person. When I meet someone I guess I like to give them the benefit of the doubt until they screw me over or they give me a reason not to trust them. I probably should be more careful but like I said I like to at least give people a chance before i judge them.

I have a lot of social anxiety, but even if I didn't have this problem, I believe I would still be naturally suspicious of people's motives. I have always been this way. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "Don't bite the bait of pleasure 'til you know there is no hook beneath it." That most definitely applies to me, and all the dishonesty and cold-heartedness that goes on certainly does not do any help in changing my ways. So yes, I am a very guarded person. I don't open up and trust people until they earn that trust. When they do, however, it can be a beautiful relationship.

I used to be a very trusting person when I was youger, but over the years I've been ripped off and used by too many people, and it's even sader when it's someone you had considered a close freind. So now, no I'm not a very trusying person, and I certainly would not trust someone straight off.

I am a very trusting person, and that is my downfall at times. I've been walked over because I am trusting, but that doesn't really bother me anymore. I know that what I did was out of kindness, and what others did wasn't, and I feel right in what I have done.

I guess I am...and in fact very trusting. I really don't have much apprehention with people I just meet and moreso w/ my long known ones. However, I paid the price many times (of being so trusting) to the point of lossing a lot of money for being so trusting and I also had my share of blasted relationship with a close friend becaue I trusted her but she betrayed it and lost our friendships. I just don't know if that was because of my too much trusting or I was just so allured w/ the "sweet" words convincing me to invest but I really feel that generally am a trusting person. I always tend to believe whatever is being told to me most of the time. I also don't like to convey suspicions to anybody unless its very obvious.

No i don't.. i don't give my 100% trust to someone whom i don't know personally.. you know, there are so many pretentious people out there, and yes, you can't even trust your friends..

Yeah i think so. Most people i know whom i consider my friends share their secrets with me. Almost all of them. Sometimes because of that i end up being the one "in between" when two of my friends share secrets against eachother. So i need to take full responsibility not to let it out in the open to avoid trouble. I really do keep their secrets pretty well so i guess that makes them trust me. I don't know, maybe i have this ability to make people comfortable enough to trust me and give me their confidence. I'm enjoying it when people trust because i know when it's my time to need someone who will listen, they're just here.

We all want to belong in a group that is why we always wan tto have friends. There are friends who are true and some of them just seem true when they are in front of you. Yes, like you I also feel guarded if I meet people for the first time. But I can easily tell a person's character so basically I give trust to those I have a feeling that they are good people. I am a loyal and trusting person that is why I really choose my friends. It's a waste of time making friends to those who are not real to you.;-)

I have never been a trusting person and I always tend to hold a grudge once I am screwed over. It takes me quite a while to learn to trust someone when I first meet them and if they even do one small thing that I disagree with it takes even longer for me to learn to trust even a little. Sometimes it's a good thing to be this way but other times it really effects my life.

I used to trust person easily but because of my experiences, it is too hard for me to give trust to anyone... I have been cheated twice and it serves me a lesson to not to give trust to anybody even if you know the person deeply cause no one knows whats on his mind... I hate to be this way but i have to, for my own good..we cant change the world that there are these persons who choose to be dishonest so in return we have to be careful in giving trust...

In fact, I am a trusting person sometimes. I say sometimes because I always want to believe others, want to believe that everyone is good indeed. But later, my mother forbid me from doing so. She said that many people are not honesty indeed, I should take care when get along with them.

Ya your correct before i use to belive everyone but as and when i grown up i came to understand people and now i take time to trusting a person.

I am generally considered as a trusting person though I do not trust people that easily. As correctly mentioned by you, these days it is really difficult to trust people around you. I generally keep others secret to myself and do not have a big mouth so it is easy for me to keep secrets and thus making me trustworthy.

I can honestly say I am a trusting person. I love knowing that I can be the one to help someone if they needed me to and they have to trust you in order to do that. I'm very honest and I respect people who are honest. I do agree with you though that it's very hard to trust other people bcuz they might not think as I do. So it takes awhile for me to let my guard down, but you can definitely sat I'm a trustworthy person.
