    Don't answer this on your first impulse. Let it sink in completly before you answer.

    How fully do you trust yourself?

    Give a percentage or words like "fully", "most of the time but not always, and maybe that's the problem"... whatever... type of answer.

    :D

    A large part of myself truly trusts myself. I feel I know myself fairly bordering on very well. When it comes down to the fundamentals I could say I trust myself fully. However, in every situation, in every time, I've realized I have weak points and the percentage goes down an unknown but moderate amount. To be honest, it freaks me out to realize that I'm not always 100 percent in control but I suppose that is normal. At least realizing that always you to set safe guards up in your mind and before this becomes a total ramble, I shall end.

    I think...money wise I trust myself, I've got a house, a car and I pay by bills on time.
    I even have control of my emotions, I'm never angry and I haven't had a fight since school. :D
    I can handle strange situations pretty well.

    Its women I don't trust myself with. They can be beautiful, they can be rough and ready, they can be shy and cute. If I'm attracted to them in some way...I want them. I may even get them. I've cheated on girlfriends more than I would have liked to. I've started to only date sluts in the hope that they wont mind me fucking other women, I've stopped dating good women because I hate hurting them.

    I trust myself , but i also have to aknowledge that I am human and will make mistakes. However , overlooking this aspect , i have to trust myself to look out for me and take care of me , because I am not going to ask anyone else to do those things for me......I BETTER trust myself.

    Do you want to be in a monogamous relationship with strict rules right now or do you want, for X amount of time (five minutes or "forever") want to be able to be around who makes you happy, have fun, explore and move on when needed? It can be a weird thing. I love monogamy myself... HOWEVER... there can be times when I don't see that as always the best fit for everyoen and in those cases or even those times..... honesty is always key. There are so many options out there and yeah, relationships.... they are weird no matter what but you can't beat it when you really connect with someone. :D

    And you're really never angry???? Come on now!
    I kinda know what you mean though- I get aggitated at times but never angry so much. I feel in a way I overcame that emotion years ago. Then again, anger can be good and suppresion of anger is always a concern.

    And hurt sucks... self or anyone else. Only callious assholes intentionally hurt people.

    I just want to explore I guess, everyone I meet is so different, I don't want to be stuck with one person.
    Yeah, I'm never angry! I'm zen baby.

    I do believe that I trust myself as much as I possibly can, but in different areas of my life, there are, of course things that I cannot handle as well as others and I'm perfectly cool with that.

    I've always known what it was that I wanted most, I trust my judgement and I know that it is me that makes all of my own descisions. Those descisions are not always the right one but they are my own.

    I dont let others cloud my judgment. If there is something that I want or want to do then I will make that descision for myself.

    I am one person. I can make all the difference if I wanted to. You just have to make sure you take care of Number one. Where would you be without you.

    I fully trust myself. I rely upon my intuition and energies that I pick up on within others as well as myself.

    I have a very, very hard time trusting myself. I am terrible at making choices and decisions.

    The more time I give myself to digest a situation the more I trust that I'll conduct myself respectably. I fully distrust my impulsive self and it's a lifelong quest to restrain that facet of me.

    Maybe a bit oddly that is wonderful advice for me. I'm naturally impulsive however with age I tend to deal with that better. Even 20 mins. to wallow allows me to deal much more constructivly.

    i trust myself very much. i have complete control of my emotions. i never get angry, or if i do get a bit angry, i never show it. i am always calm with people even when they get hostile with me or try to instigate a fight.

    i don't trust myself with money when it comes to cannabis. ive probably spent more money on cannabis than i should have. i don't really regret it though, it gives me magical spiritual wisdom.

    other than cannabis, i never buy anything that isn't necessary. im minimalist so if im working, i have no problem surviving and paying bills. i can trust myself to do that.

    i don't let other people influence my actions. i do what i want. i trust myself to do what's right in an ethical situation when a majority of people don't or wouldn't care. i trust myself to do this even at great personal loss.

    i can't say i trust myself not to make mistakes, but when i do make them, i know i won't repeat them.

    so, yea overall i trust myself. i think i have it under control for the most part. it's these other humans i don't trust.

    I usually tend to make solid decisions and then I will pig headedly back them up. My problem comes when I take myself out of the situation and start second guessing myself...

    I start asking myself why that decision I made was "right"... I question it, and then I waste large amounts of time in an inner dialogue about what I truly want out of life.

    Pretty ricockulous if you ask me.

    I don't trust myself around large quantities of readily available drugs.

    Other than that... I'm fine.

    I trust myself fully, most of the time. The only thing I don't trust myself with is xanax, because I'll take as many as I have and get so fukt up that I do really stupid shit.

    Other than that, I trust myself 100%.

    i trust myself on most things.
    i can trust myself to act a certain way in a certain situation, and i can control my emotions and i can trust myself to know when it's time to stop doing a certain thing.
    if i'm gonna do something that seems dangerous or with trying something new, i can trust myself with the right decision, and 99.9% of the time, i do pick the right decisions.

    i don't really trust myself with money though, cause i spend alot, and i'm not good with saving..
