myself, sure. other than that, probably not *completely*, but it's not out of being guarded; rather, it's quite a responsibility to put on another person...

How can you trust when everyone hurts you? So I would say no I do not trust anyone. To scared to let someone in, i have let people in, in the past but i just get hurt

that's what i mean about the responsibility that it puts on the other person. nobody can live up to expectations of 100% trust, when our first obligations are always to ourselves. it doesnt have to be all or nothing, though... just trust to reasonable limits and be able to distinguish between a trust 'betrayal' and someone doing what's right for THEM, even if it's not to your benefit as well.

Good post, and something I struggle with Trust

Thanks for all your replies (so far). So many of us struggle with trust, I think, because of our disorders/illnesses and abuse/neglect in the past.

I trusted my deceased husband until he became sick. He is the only one that I had that much trust in. Now I have limited trust with different people in my life.

I think that trust has to be viewed as a calculated risk. We have to calculate what we trust with whom. Sometimes we make the right decisions, sometimes those decisions although right at the time, life turns things around to the point where the trust is not any longer warrented.

I am a very trusting soul. I use my gut instinct to tell me who I can trust. Until the individual gives me a reason not to trust them, then it's there.

There are a few people in my life that I trust implicitly. I think I'm lucky to have that many.

is trust related to reliability? if so, i can rely on some things, so i trust in those things.... i can rely on certain people to react certain ways, so i trust them on those levels.. there is at least a few people on this planet i do trust completely.. it is a great thing to share with someone

I'm with Sabby. I don't think trust is about the other person that much but about our own willingness to be vulnerable and "hope". I trust myself to be able to do my best and several others to be able to do the same by/for me. It's not a permanent thing but a moment-to-moment intimate interaction between one's self and another's self.

trust.................

wow 5 letters that carry alot of weight
A word I believed in all my life even when younger
even if it was broken
when trust is broken its a very hard thing...
silly as it sounds I am still amazed when it is.......

I still have faith in ppl
I still have hope in ppl
I am a very trusting person till it is broken



There are a few ppl I trust..........
I feel blessed with that

I trust a couple of my friends absolutely. They've really stuck with me and supported me through some really bad times.

I'd say I also trust my t and my pdoc, although I'm still a little reserved with my pdoc.

Depends on the person, and the situation, and the information being shared. I don't know if I trust one specific person completely (beyond myself) and totally without a doubt in my mind...

But I think it also depends on my level of relationship with the other person... like having a give and take relationship, instead of it being one-sided with its openness.
