What are Your Thoughts on 'Trust'?

Truth. Quite an interesting thing. The word truth is thrown around so often now in days. It’s strange when you think about the actual meaning of the word ‘truth’. Conformity to fact or actuality. A statement proven to be or accepted as true. Sincerity; integrity. Fidelity to an original or standard. Reality; actuality. But is this really the actually meaning of the word truth when you look at how you use it? no. it is not. Sure it can be sometime, but when people use the word truth they usually mean the opposite of a fact. they are usually telling a lie. It’s easy for me to trust most people. epically strangers. However, trusting my family members? no. never. I find it be be, that people you know are usually the ones that lie the most to you.

we all have the fear of getting hurt… so trust is really hard to gain especially if someone has had so many bad experiences. My trust right now is extremely hard to get cause I’m afraid of getting hurt more then I am already. I already lost 2 best friends… one being my girlfriend. But whatever, I’m trying to be more open again

trust is something hard to earn. its not willingly given, you have to work on it before you get trusted.

I don’t trust people easily… I think I only truely trust 2 of my friends right now. My best friend betrayed me and so did my ex boyfriend…so I don’t trust easily :/ people have to earn it, and if they lose it it’s not easily gained back.

All you need for meeting people is enough trust to give them a chance…after that all trust is in an “earned” mode. Breaking a trust, and getting it back…espcially with those who we love and who love us back is a long road.

General everyday trust in those around you…well, I always like to “trust them to be who they are”…in other words…if they are back stabbers, I trust them to be just that, and tell them nothing…Trust yourself to know who to trust.

I’ve been really hurt in the past so it takes me a long time to believe people or trust them.
