Or as Vannie would say, that dumb blond. Trusting people is hard, but we can only try and do it and hope it is worth it. Unfortunately i am the kind who trust easily and learn the hard way. Luckily, i am the kind who will hate you forever if you break that trust. Mutual agreement, i think. I always try to please everyone, will they do it for me? NO, to much work or too busy. Would someone please come and stand in my shoes for a week? I need a vacation. All this trusting and pleasing is freaking tiring. Leave your name and number, i will get back to you, I HOPE. TATA.

Hey Saph, you can't put your trust in anybody until you've been through hell together. I too have learnt the hard way. Stand in your shoes?? We should swop shoes for a week and see how long it takes before you want your own shoes back. I think it was Confucius who said: If everyone in the world were to throw their problems onto a pile, whose problems would you take back?

I am sorry you are feeling freaking bad at this. But love is not like a business you know. You pay and I will give you something. If I pay you give me something. If there is no pay, there is no transaction. It's not like that sweetie. If your love is REAL, you can't hate them even when they break your trust. How is this? freaking different?? Meluan can comment better on this with her one word response.

vannie, are you alright? You are too harsh today To me real love means total surrender to the other person. If you do that even their flaws will look nice, enjoyable and interesting. A parent can continue to love the kid even if they break their trust. This is because they have real love on the child. Real love between man and woman rarely exists in this modern world. Still there are some who love with heart, soul and life. I bet they can forgive any betrayal and continue to love the partner. You are right that love is almost a meditation and a true lover is a saint, because he/she surrenders everything to him/her, focusing whole attention on him/her. I will be happy to learn about love from you if you really know the subject better than me. Till then let me be a psycho....

BS and you know it - that "if your love is REAL, you can't hate them even when they break your trust" stuff. That is written by some people who dont know what is love and trust!!! If you reach that level, you are straight out of living - in the sense you either become a psycho, or you become a saint. Hating as natural an emotion as love. I dont subscribe to that opinion of yours vijayanths. :)

You are stupid if you can prove that you are, but how sure you are that you are stupid? Rushing into a conclusion might be the problem, did you try to weigh things out? or just failed to do so. Somehow there are decisions that make you hate yourself too much, I hope you would never do that. i am just here.

I do not know if you understand what distance mean... and the worst thing, I am like tied up in the neck, that I could hardly breath... I do not know if you can get what I said, I hope you do... If I am given only the chance to have my time free, then I will set it for the love of my life. But this is life, this is it. Perhaps, you are right. The harder the heart, the better we feel, that is the reason why I hate mellow songs... I just like the harder ones... it seemed invulnerable... I would respect whatever decision you had. PAALAM

Sweetie, I am honored for the credit you gave me! What? Do you want me to blush? Ok, with that statement I think you deserve one. There, now that we are done and over with blushing, let me tell you what I think. Its ok to hate. Dont let others tell you it is not. The more you let others tell you that, the less satisfied you will be with your life, and more you will hate that person and all those who tell you not to hate him because you think they are supporting that person, instead of supporting you. So first and foremost, dont go around seeking others approval to what you do or feel. Remember they are no saints and not even high on your list of friends to be bothered about. You hate him, so you hate him. Now what, what are you going to do about it? Start from there. Of course, you are not going to kill him. I mean you might want to, but going to prison is not an option you'd like to consider. You want to ruin him. That is ok, that is perfectly fine. So how are you going to do that? It needs meticulous planning. I suggest you plan your move meticulously. Chances are, you will succeed, and derive satisfaction, or it may take you so long that your hatred would be replaced by indifference. Remember some past relationships? You no longer feel as much anger towards them as you did in the first place. So just tell yourself you wont get mad, you will just get even, and continue loving and hating. You will find your path soon enough. I know this might be tough for a dumb blond to understand, but try to understand it sweetie!

Trusting people isn't dumb, I tend to trust easily too sometimes because I would like to think people are not as bad as they really are.. I don't hate people who break that trust, but I never trust them again, thus making the relationship strained, but that isn't my fault is it? Now pleasing people, that is not me, I tend to try to make choices that is right, whether it pleases someone or not. That is just me because I know decisions I make, I will be held accountable for, sooner or later.

Come on Madam, Whats the color of your shoes? Well, i'm thinking the same kinda thing of not trusting completely, before some years when i was schooling, i had trusted my close mates, but i had been betrayed by my best friend once.. I had that instance as a warning, that i should never trust anybody that much.. i keep some trust worthy friends who would help me in any critical circumstances.. Oh well, u could completely trust me !! Because i know the pain of being betrayed, i don't betray others!!!

Hello Saphrina, I had started a similar discussion long time ago.. I know how it feels, you really need to stop thinking about others, for the time being. You probably give them more attention and time than they actually deserve. Let go of them for sometime... Just do what you wanted to... Get off your shoes and on to their's... You could then see how much they really care to attend to you. Have a good weekend Saphrina...

Yes Saph, we might not be wearing the same shoes. People are so selfish, sometimes just thinking of that makes me think i should be like them, but i am just me. I have to keep myself from being so easy with others. One of the reasons some people find me quite difficult to get along with after meeting me for the first time, because i don't open up to them soon. I am easy on trusting others too, but are they worth receiving it, after all, almost everybody and everyone think only about themselves.! One of the reasons, people who don't know me inside out find me a rude and serious type of person, Fine! I don't care about them.. I just want to be myself, the way i wanna be happy. Those who don't know me, and care to judge a person instantly, i don't give them a damn. Funny how life is.

And like you, I am the kind who will despise anyone for life who breaks this precious trust. Sure, I'll stand in your shoes for a week . . . I do need to try on some different shoes!

I'd easily fit into your shoes (with the trusting part). Do we have a deal? ;P There's nothing wrong with trusting. As my mother always says, trust rather than doubt, because at the event of betrayal, you can be thankful that you're not the one who did the wrong. However, pleasing everyone is really a tiring job indeed! Why do you even try to do that? Just be yourself, and have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. If someone doesn't like you, then, to hell with him. The people who really care for you will stay with you till the very end anyway no matter how crazy they find you. So just relax, chill. ;)

Hi Anncherry, I couldn't help but respond to your comments. It is all very noble to be trusting of people but I would rather tell my kids to doubt rather than trust. Would you trust a politician? Would you trust a salesman? I agree, just relax and chill, but always cast doubt before trusting. Trust needs to be earned and until it is earned, it would be wise to doubt. It is much safer that way.

Just because someone left you and broke your trust doesn't mean that each and every person on this earth is not trust worthy.all you need is some understanding. I dont mean to tell you that trust the people you met.just believe in yourself..no matter what people do to you dont change. And i must say keeping someone close is good but not that close. be prepared for anything that comes and think what will you do in that situation if it comes to leaving.

I guess is not stupid maybe need more training in judging people and not too trusting in the first place. Learn to ask questions and detect lie through answer giving and body language.If u walk around talking to people having an idea people will lie to u , then your be ok , walking around with suspicious view of people is good for personal safetly too.

Depends on who you trusted. Not everyone can be trusted. Betrayal is the teacher of how to trust someone in our life. Anyway, before trusting someone, trust your self and get your judgment right. It's not a simple thing but at least learning to trust is important so that you won't get betrayed. I know that's sound simple, indeed myself also had a hard time to trust someone until I get my judgment towards their actions are convincing me to trust them.
