What do you think about trust?

trusting people because you want them to trust you?

just because you trust someone doesn't mean they will trust you!

just saying...

Suspicion is the defense the vast majority have created to try to limit the effect of attacks from the small minority who lack empathy and compassion now known as sociopaths or ASPD types, along with other disorders which knowingly cause harm to others without remorse or mercy.

The vast majority of us fall somewhere on a spectrum of what is classed as normal behaviour and feelings, which always includes empathy, guilt and selflessness to greater or lesser degrees.

I guess my take on trust is that once you can bear these things in mind, you can realise that most people won't be out to harm you but it's sensible not to give yourself away to just anyone just incase. As someone else pointed out, there are degrees of trust. There's no harm in assuming someone you've just met is probably a good person and treating them as such, but you should be careful not to hand over too much too quickly.

I love people, and the gradual building of trust between close friends has been a source of joy in my life.

I also understand that when most people hurt others, it's unintentional or plain thoughtless/ignorant and not a sign of anything sinister.

another good post, ty.

i nearly always take new people on trust, no reason not to i believe, unless my inner feeling tells me theres something not quite right with that person and it rarely lets me down, in which case i walk away. we've all had that feeling, yes?

 

goodness, i can't imagine how you planned on misusing the rep feature if you consider it sensible that you aren't allowed to use it..

 

your wit isn't

shown

i will never admit to being trustworthy

yes.......




poppy i believe i quoted you correctly....unless you are changing the meanings of words in the queens english

you didnt actually say the part about ''always a cheater''....but we alll know the second half of ''once a cheater....''which you obviously meant but instead used ellipsis

there is no other construable meaning to that phrase


Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence

 

no you DID NOT quote me correctly! you took it out of context. i said once a cheater FOLLOWED BY people rarely change in that way - i NEVER said ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER.

don't tell me what i "obviously meant" when i made it clear what i was saying.

you assume too much.

if i had wanted to say once a cheater always a cheater, i would have said that, but i don't believe that so i didn't say it!!!

 

i feel those who can't trust

are just unconfident with themselves.

 

Trust is earned not given

 

amazing how SOMEONE doesn't care about my statistics or personal experiences yet uses their own personal experiences to make their point, along with definitions of words... definitions are okay but statistics aren't.

and GENERALIZING responses based on gender?

open your F-N mind, dude!

 

yes and yes!!




@ RA: (... dot dot dot ... dot dot dot ... dot dot dot ... dot dot dot)

 

Yep, I pretty much agree with that. Cheaters can change, but more often than not, they don't. If a person has cheated once, the chances of them cheating again is far higher than them never doing it again.

 

Did this thread really need teen drama?
