Do you have trust issues?

What is it like to be unable to trust people, not just in romantic relationships. I refer to friendships as well.

Unlearn I can't say I have ever had major trust issues, thankfully I didn't go through terribly tragic experiences that would force me to become this way. I'm just grateful that I'm am able to trust people whom I feel comfortable with and those who have earned my trust. I hope I am never pushed into a state of mistrusting everyone.

There was a time when I was distrustful of everyone. It, along with other things, almost drove me crazy. The worst part was I was distrustful of life itself. Had to unlearn to regain my sanity...now I trust life more easily.
Well it's not easy. I can attest to this.
It makes life unbearable and @ort of takes away any meaning to anything. When you get to the point when you can no longer even trust yourself due to severead emotional isues and are terrified of hurting another person's feels gs, then have ING no memory of it, and no for certain that no one who has ever mattered to you has been able to love or truly care for you or if you were to live or die, and have to decide to live as a recluse since you have three sons who love you and you love so you cannot just end it all, life is simply unbearable.

I don't trust anyone but myself

BigBill - I can understand, I'm sorry that you had to face such pain. I hope in future you are able to let go of past hurts and trust those that deserve it.

I've had everyone from teachers and students make fun of me because i was shy in school it was really painful but it has made me a much stronger person as well.

@ kryptonite: sweet as always. Nothing is the end. Anything will revive if it meant to be
Oh yes. I know exactly where to place the blame for these things. I wasn't always like this.

CallMe - I am sure there must be past betrayals that made a person this way, but it can't be easy to keep having that wandering mind.

I know nice peiple and have good friends. So I don't have that issue.. But obviously I don't trust everyone as some people are obviously beyond untrustworthy

I feel the same as krypto. I don't trust quite as easily as I used to.
agreatday · 61-69, M
yeah, but it's better to be safe, than sorry.
enag19 · 46-50, M
@Kryptonite: not at all. It's life. Take as it comes

Enag19 - That is just sad don't you think?
WildHeart · 46-50, F
I like those words Unlearn thanks for sharing :)
WildHeart · 46-50, F
It is, but I will still say that just like in real life not every person online has ulterior motives, there are a few that are genuine. Trust is fragile I get that, but what's the sense in living life this way? I've had to experience a tragedy to realize life is too short, if I don't make the best if this life today, I will end up being a waste of space. I chose not to be.

People find fault with genuine people and let them leave

Trust is vital for any relationship

No. I trust trustworthy people. There's just a shortage of them.
agreatday · 61-69, M
that's a great attitude.
agreatday · 61-69, M
in real life, it's not AS bad.
but I have definite trust issues with the internet.
getting burned over and over has done that to me.

Smiler2012 - If you read the thread, I have mentioned somewhere along the the line that I don't have trust issues. Of course with that being said I don't just trust blindly as well.
Unlearn · 41-45, M
I cannot trust blindly...
Sepia · 36-40, F
I appreciate it really if someone tells me the truth no matter how hurtful it is haha.. yeah trust I do but only those who deserves it..why not :)
WildHeart · 46-50, F
Agreatday- this is awful, I think to move on swiftly in life it's important to let go of the past. For new relations to flourish old hurts have to be healed.
WildHeart · 46-50, F
MrsGearHead - that's exactly the way I feel. There are some genuine people out there.
SW-User
True but I've been burnt by too many people so I guard myself very well
WildHeart · 46-50, F
BigBill - life is too short to live it so guarded. Just my opinion
Unlearn · 41-45, M
Know this: Trust makes life easy...
enag19 · 46-50, M
@Kryptonite: wish to see some leaves soon..
WildHeart · 46-50, F
Enag -I love the way you think 👍
WildHeart · 46-50, F
Unlearn - True, I don't think anyone should however do you mistrust almost everyone? If I lived my life this way, I swear I would go crazy.
WildHeart · 46-50, F
SkunkSprayFan I love it when people turn their pain into strength. It's quiet inspirational
