“I guess I'm judging people by their actions and not by who they are???”

Yes in some ways I think trust is a feeling but, I need to also base some of my trust of people on their actions. Everybody will fall short of my Golden Standard, but there is a reasonable in between. I trust my T because I think she has my best interest at heart and because she has proven to me that she will be there for me when I need her. She has also proven she knows “what she is talking about.”

With people in general I do tend to base my trust on actions and then as I get to know them, my trust grows deeper and I think that trust is often based on intentions. Maybe a balance of intentions and actions.

For everything I have been through I find that I trust too many people with too much…up to a point. I tend to look at the world and its people as trustworthy. But, the deep parts of me sometimes are unreachable to even my closest friends. Its like my trust reaches a certain level and then stops.
