I was really bad in understanding whom i should trust and whom i shouldn't. I have always trusted wrong people in my life. I have learned a lot from my past mistakes. I trusted wrong person in my last relationship and even some friends. Some times its difficult to decide whom you should trust and whom you shouldn't. Share your thoughts guys..

Yes, there was a time when I trusted everybody blindly. I got hurt, got cheated, got taken advantage of, got laughed at behind. There was nothing I could do to change myself, I just could not doubt anybody. The moment I did that, I started having guilty pangs. Its not that I have changed now, I have only become cynic. I start with the notion that the person in front of me is lying and I cant really help that and inspite of that, I would listen to him/her and help out.

Hi, You are right, it feels really bad when people you trust the most hurts you back. I don't know how people can do so bad to someone just for their selfish motives.

If you are a good person,then you see all others as good.And if you are a cheater,then you will see all cheats.We see us in others.It is you,who are a trustable person and so you trust all others.it is not your fault.In the upcoming days,don't just go blindly into others.Hold something to your side until the deal is over.This way,you can outwit cheaters.Cheers!

I think it's good to be suspicious about most people you meet. I try to be as self-reliant as I can be so I'm not so dependent on others who might abuse my trust. Still, you shouldn't be so paranoid that you cannot trust anyone because trust is the foundation of any relationship. With relationships, you should take things slow and make the other person earn your trust over time...you can still fall in love, but don't "fall in trust"!

I do not trust easily at all. I trust my fiance and my family and that's pretty much it. I don't even trust some of my best friends with everything. I guess I've just been let down enough is the past that I've learned to keep things to myself as much as I can and to try and just do things on my own rather than depending on someone else.

i thin everyone deserves to be trusted even atleast once,then after if they break your trust,then its all up to you if you should trust them again based on how close you are with that person from the first time you trusted him
