Do you find it hard to trust people?

It's just the fact that most everyone I know has been so self serving. And it's hard to believe what people say because they take it back, they are not consistent, and their needs always come first. It's so disheartening trying to make friends or God forbid, try to find love. It's so much to bear mentally, you just want to stay home always. But that's not Life😢

I don't have issues with trust so much. I'm just starting to realize that I'm too loyal to a fault. I need to pull back some.

My advice is to stop making friends and let friends find you. If someone is meant to be in your life then they will walk in without you even having to ask. And go at your own pace and let them earn your trust.

@AngelUnforgiven Great theory. I have always preferred friendships by happenstance. These days, even those are rare, but I am grateful for any connection that lasts.

Yes, I find it harder now than ever before. People are ultra quick to react. They block, delete, ghost. If it isn't that, is a steady decline over days or weeks when they lose focus or desire to engage. Friendships used to matter more. Compassion for people we barely knew meant something. Not so much now. I still yearn to connect.

Absolutely, as a kid anyone i ever trusted hurt me ,used me then threw me out like yesterday's trash. One consequence of that was i became someone that couldn't be trusted. I became whatever people needed me to be but it was never the real me.

Online, I trust way too easily in some ways, but offline, I don't trust anyone but my family..🤔

I don't even concern myself that much with it. People will do what they do whether we place high expectations on them or not. And that is on them.

Ever since I was a schoolboy, I always had a hard time trusting people.
I don’t give anybody anything to be trusted with.. 🤔
