How easily can people lose your trust?
“When you start to wonder whether you could trust someone or not, that is when you already know you don’t.”

I don't think I ever wonder about that. I either trust, or I don't. Not much room to wonder.
I trust people by default, virtually all of the time. I take what they say at face value and choose to believe the best about them.
When someone shows me that that trust was misplaced, it's gone, unless there is a very good explanation -- which doesn't happen often. I can still relate to the person, work with them, even care about them, but trust, once broken, rarely heals.

Second chances, more often, are not possible with me.

@CookieCrumbs I have no issues with second, and more, chances in most things. People make mistakes all the time -- Lord know I make more than my share -- and I hope I'm not judged solely on the basis of my worst moments.
But right or wrong, I consider my trust to be precious and if someone doesn't treat it that way, it's simply not something I'm willing to see debased.

That’s what I mean. If people make mistakes that can be fixed, maybe a second chance is given.
But if trust is broken, I could continue to interact with the person , but I cannot let them in my life the same way as before. No second chances there.

@CookieCrumbs I agree. Absolutely. There are mistakes that it is not possible to ever completely heal.
Sadly, I seem to have made a couple of those in my time. But I can only accept that there is no going back.
