I used to believe that in general, men were less drama ridden and more trustworthy than women. Now I don't believe anyone is trustworthy.

Everyone is trustworthy – until the opposite is evident beyond any doubt.
Really your own life will be more beautiful if you don't always think: "Hey this person just tries to deceive me."

I believe that almost everyone is in their survival mode. Part of that survival mode is denial, delusion, illusion and all such that leaves no room for complete self awareness. From that point most people don't know themselves, or know what they need or not need. There is an unconscious force driving them which is almost always sabotaging.
How can they be trusted with responsibility for someone elses heart?
It is not that they choose to be untrustworthy (most), it is that they're incapable of it.

Only few people prove to be trustworthy with the test of time

Oh no, some men are huge drama kings. I Knew one, yet he projected that onto me, lol.

I often wonder, is how we trust more a reflection of ourselves? I know, it's a difficult topic and some people face more betrayal, hurt than others, but I think any person carries some, and we do have choices, inside ourselves in how we deal with betrayal. I've been betrayed, I chose to try and heal with the person, instead of continuing being angry or self-deprecatingly, jaded. They linger in feelings, and you don't wish those feelings away, and they are gone - but I do feel, letting yourself heal, and avoiding stereotypes as much as you can are healthy things you can do for yourself.

Maybe as men tend to show less some emotions, we are led to believe they are coping better with adversity, but that isn't necessarily true. I think men generally have a stronger sense of ownership (reversely women tend to feel they belong to their environment rather than the other way round), which can be a shield for the male ego, but which can also backfire as a sense of entitlement.

I'm trustworthy. My wife can ask me any direct question and knows she'll get the truth. I seriously hate drama. We can solve problems without attacking each other. We address the problem from the same side of the table.
So that's how I know some people are trustworthy.

people in general are untrustworthy. better to find that out sooner rather than later and save yourself a lot disappointment

I think people have in general a myriad of possible motivations that most likely are not the same as mine and as such a long list of contradicting temptations that fails to be trust worthy.

I dont even know anymore. Men are less manly anymore and women are less trustful. Im suspicious of everyone and i hate that i have to play this game.

Trust takes time no matter who it is. It doesn't matter who.

I believe that anyone staring directly at the nozzle of a SIG Sauer P365 will speak the truth and nothing less

I tell myself to be an open book. I guess that is what others see from me and they don't want much from me.
Thus I get to be a loner.

There is good and bad in everyone. Male and female. I’m sorry that this person hurt you

You have to swim through the river of douchebags before arriving to soulmate island..

Regardless is about all or no one, is not IMO a gender thing.

Everyone is drama ridden.

I kind of agree.

You thought that men were more trustworthy than women wow!
Can't wrap my head around that one but seriously people are human and greed, hunger, lust, boredom, sickness, can instantly make a trustyworthy person untrustworthy.
I trust none but God.

I can tell who the real genuine souls are from those who are full of bs … it’s a gift 🎁 lol 😘
