How do you start trusting someone else, after a man or a woman harshly broke your trust ??? Is hard or impossible to trust again in somebody who just play with your mind?

Usually I give the benefit of the doubt, and give the person a second chance. This is because there may have been unavoidable circumstances which made the person do what he/she did. If the person breaks the trust for the second time, he/she is given a third chance. Things in life can go wrong, and we are not immune from making mistakes. After the third time, the person is still trusted, but not completely. After the second time the person should have learned a lesson. Repeating the same error for the third time means he/she is not interested, or could not be bothered, to learn anything related to trust. This attitude has one major drawback. Many people see me as being weak, and unable to make a firm decision. But there have been people who realised too late, that when I take action, there is no turning back.

I agree with you. People need to be given a second chance. And even though I may also seem to be taking my time to make any firm decisions (according to many), I know that once my mind is set, there will be no turning back as well. We are not the ones who betrayed the trust, as such our conscience are clear... And that's important. I'm not giving up! And so should you...

I think in hat case you may be able to forgive that person and even start liking them. But the truth is you can't trust them again. Once the trust is broken, it's very hard to maintain that trust again.

Once I lose trust in someone , I never really get it back but it doesn't stop me from trusting someone else. Each person is different so I take each person separately.In other words, a new person, a new feeling of trust.

Someone I really trusted and love has betrayed my trust. I'm willing to forgive him, however he has to realise what he has done is wrong and come back to the right path. I don't know if I could ever be able to trust him again, but it will not deter me from trusting other people. I believe in the good in people and I do hope that one day, he will come to a realisation that what he has done is terribly wrong and that he has hurt the people who love him so much. When that day comes, I will be happiest person in this world. He is playing games with me now. I'm playing his game as well. Let's see what happens...

hi ice, one person might have hurt you and disappointed you but that doesn't mean everybody in general will do the same. so just be open minded and let the first experience teach you a lesson to be careful next time. have a nice day... cheers, ann

It is hard but not impossible. I have been screwed over so many times in life, that I cry for a little bit, & then I get over it. My life isn't all about anyone. So whoever wants to break my trust can. I just hope they don't expect to stay in my life. I don't have enough time for any of that.

I have had my trust broken many times and I cannot bring myself up to trust anyone now. It just that I am afraid of getting hurt again so I stay quite to myself and don't even prefer to talk much with other people.. I recently had this blow from one of my friends I really liked and I was like devastated for two whole days. My best friend (and the only one I trust) helped me to come out of it, and now I have decided that "trust" is one word that holds no meaning for me...

Oh yes..it would be very hard for me. I would say it may be almost impossible for me. I guess it would depend on what they had done to me.

Hello icesmile, I have some experience in being disappointed with a partner. So far I am still lacking trust in everyone but a few people. My saying has been trust no one. Even my b/f should know by now I am not quick to trust anyone, even him.I could say what my ex-husband did but it would be pointless since he is not in my life and has not been in it for close to 11 years now. It has been what I had to go through that brought me to where I am now.

i will not trust that person, also anyone who comes in the future.. i would try to be more careful and not get hurt again. i don't like people taking advantage of me, knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are. As far as i m concerned i wont trust.. i'd rather trust my own instincts than to trust anyone else and get hurt..

If somebody lie to me, will be very hard to trust people again. I know that not all peoples are same, they are different, but depend how much i am disapointed, maybe after a while i will trust again, but is very hard. People forget that life is so short, and maybe tomorrow, who lie today will pay for his lies.

My problem is that I am unfortunately too trusting. Someone can get away with a lot with me and I will still believe in them. I have been burned more than once because of it, and probably will be burned again.
