Is it better to have someone earn your trust? Or to give someone the benefit of the doubt and trust until it is broken??

Yea I hate when people say I am too nice... this is a sad world lol

Oh my! Then it means you not nice...

@Enosan what? I mean I don't get it when people say I'm too nice like it is a bad thing...

Oh that. Nah it's not a bad thing. Being nice and trusting maybe at two different levels...

@Enosan: I suppose so, I'm too trusting and open myself up to get hurt. I'd rather be nice and get hurt than be cold and act rude

Orr maybe you mix the both?
Being nice always reaps rewards. There is no doubt about being good is good but when it comes to trust.
Maybe you can put sensible walls?
Along with a bit of thorns to know if it's genuine or not
