To trust, or not to trust!

Why is it so hard to trust people nowadays? I understand when you can’t trust someone who has a history, but what if this person keeps showing you that he is trust worthy? Why do I always assume the worst? I wonder the need to analyze everything he says or does. I realize this can’t keep going and things need to change, I need to change. But it is damn hard. I can’t, I tried and it is not working. It will never work, I think. It is over and I have to live with it now. Who to blame for this? My friends. They always came to me with their relationship’s problems to get advice. Many time, I hear the same story on & on, so why would mine be any different? Because I want it to be different? I do, I really do but I can’t. I can’t control those little creatures inside of me twisting things around. Someone tell me what to do!

    umm.. i am not exactly an expert in trust.. i trust way too much and always get shocked.. bs from a fellow person who always trusts, i say cut that person some slack.. its not like u’ve seen anything from them.. trust a bit, if u think something fishy is going on or u see something weird from that person, just stop trusting..
    madree i don’t think that made sense.. :P~ i tried

    If you dont have solid prood and evidence , I suggest that you take a leap of faith… or at least consider him innocent untill proven guilty…

    Men can’t be trusted… and even though they say that they’ve “CHANGED”… they haven’t…. and while i’m at it…

    I hate men! Let them all **** themselves.

    sweetie, I could be negative and tell you that what you’re doing is right thing and that you shouldn’t trust anyone, no one is worthy blah blah blah..

    but that is just misrable! How would you want to live a life not trusting or loving anyone just because you think that one day they’ll break your heart..

    and that your friends come to you for advice, that shows how trust worthy you are, and you have to believe that there are trustworthy people out there and you have to meet them. Sweetie we are no angles, that’s why we have chances, to work things out and CHANGE.

    If you insist on saying that you can’t change and you can’t control those feelings. that’s just NOT TRUE! and we can’t help you if you can’t and can’t help yourself.. YOU must think in a different way, be possitive, life is wonderful. yes it is :)

    Take a deep breathe and then take a leap of faith :)

    Amazingly we trust ppl we don’t know more than ppl we do know !

    We all just open a bottle of water/juice/drink, n just gulp it down ! Almost none of us doubt that the water/juice/drink may harm us ! More like trusting the manufacture of the water/juice/drink with our health Blindly !

    Yeah, I also got a problem with trusting ppl these days ! Especially gals ! It’s pathetic !

    Good Luck !

    Try est7’rah ! Might help !

    Let me enlighten you with a few words of wisdom that I learned from a 200 year old guru sitting at the top of the mountain,

    -
    Thats what people do, they leap and hope to God they can fly
    Because otherwise….
    We just drop like a rock….
    Wondering the whole way down
    “Why in the hell did I jump?”
    -

    Inspiring words, meaning just take a leap of faith and see what happens.

    Actually, these words where from Will Smith in the movie Hitch, but still wise words.

    Love like you’ve never been hurt : ) Try to trust this person if they’re worth you’re trust and like someone else said, test them and see if their worth you’re trust. Also, they’re might have been something small that you noticed and subconciously its warning you not to trust this person.

    i’ll tell u what to do.. come back to the blog world! missed ya! ishda3wa hal qa6a! missed ur posts!

    I .. I don’t know really, .. well I always assume the worst too, and sometimes I feel that I am being unfair and that he’s just a wonderful person, then suddenly I’d snap out and I’ll be like “what the hell am I thinking! back to earth girl!”

    I feel awful when I’d totally like the guy but keep on thinking that I will never be able to trust him cause he’ll eventually cheat, so why bother, .. it’s not a jealousy thing and it’s not the worry about heartache thign either.., I just don’t want to be manipulated and be taken for a fool.. it’s just that I am straigh forwards with him I expect/wish to recieve similar deed.. am not trying to bring you down actually am thankful for this post! we share the same problem and I hope we find a way out here :)

    There is no such thing as 100% trust. Also trust is earned not given. For the person to be trusted, certain things muts be met to satisfy that level. There are degrees in the way people trust, there are the gullible people that trust people so much they tend to be hurt alot, and there are the types of people that never trusts, and therefore never open up and cannot have a close relationship with anyone. Find a balance and be intelligent about who to trust, and be merciful when you have to.

    I loved what the equalizer wrote…and also sarah…I might fall under the vulnerable side of things and have my share of downfalls in the trust area…but I never want to have a bitter heart..so I dust myself off and try again taking with me the lessons I’ve learnt…and I almost always listen to my intuition….it tells me what to do…

  23. 23 Not_Without_My_Heels Aug 23rd, 2005 at 3:32 am

    I agree with MissCosmoQ8, I would never want a bitter heart.. Sometimes it’s easier just to be bitter. Learn to let go.. :) It can be exhilirating!

    NOW POST! 3ayazt wachayek kilyoum :p
