SomeoneSpecial answered Tuesday May 19 2009, 10:07 pm: i am the complete opposite. i cant trust people unless the earn it partially because when i was younger a few people stabbed me in the back and that made met think i could trust nobody. having easy trust isnt a bad thing, it actually shows alot about your charector. the only thing i can think of is your going to have to get hurt or betrayed to be more strong in that area, but dont intentionally do this because that would make you look at everyones flaws and thats a terrible thing. but if you never get hurt with the people you trust, i dont see what the problem is. well i hope i helpedd.

Then i got lied to over and over by my boyfriend and now its hard for me to believe what anyone says. I dont think there is any way you can change how you are with trusting people you will just have to find out that people aren't as honest as they seem to be.

There are people that only care about themselves. Just because you meet someone and they're nice, doesn't mean they're trustworthy.
Get to know people very well before you really trust them or you will get hurt often. You have to pay attention to people's backgrounds and their histories. Sure, people make mistakes. But when someone cheated on their ex, talks about their best friends behind their backs, or generally has a lot of enemies; you need to keep yourself on alert.
If a guy is willing to cheat on his ex, there's a good sign he's willing to cheat on you. If a new friend you meet tells you a lot of bad things about their other friends, you can expect any secrets you tell him/her to spread like wildfire. If someone has a ton of enemies, no matter what the say, you can assume that everyone else is not to blame.
Just watch your back and go with your gut instinct. If you get feelings that someone cannot be trusted, keep your eye on them before opening up fully.

dont go telling people you barely know or have just met problems or secrets and such because maybe they seem nice its hard to tell those who mean well from those who dont so take the time to build up a good sense of trust and even then always be catious,
the best people to trust are friends youve known a very long time and your family =]
think about what your about to tell a certain person before you do and you should be fine =]
but dont close off completely its good to have one or two people you can always rely on and trust.
hope i helped in any way
Much <3
