Do you have trust issues?

Question

Orion84 · Accepted Answer

Yes, yes I do.

My default position is not to trust anyone, until they've earned it. Once earned, it's very easy to lose. I don't go through people's phones, or anything, and I don't stalk anybody; I just don't trust easily.

I didn't used to be like that, and I realize it's not a healthy mindset to have, but it's become a defense mechanism. Nearly every person I've ever trusted has either ended up using me for money, cheating on me, or betraying me, so I just don't allow myself to be put into that position, anymore.

None at all. I judge each person as an individual. The actions of others don't affect my judgment of someone that isn't them.

While I don't have trust issues, I don't just blindly trust either. I'm wary and someone needs to be proved they can be trusted. Just because you have don't have trust issues doesn't mean you should leave $1 million out in the open.

Not sure if it’s an issue, but after some bad past experiences where I was too open with my trust…. I’ve definitely become a little guarded and take some time to trust people. I find that it’s better to let people show who they are over time, before you get too attached. Saves you from a lot of heartbreak down the line.

DishLady · Answer

I would not say "trust issues" however it does take me longer to trust someone if they have betrayed my trust once.

Anonymous · Answer

To people I have not got a strong bond with yet, YES.

I've always said I have a 1000 acquaintances. But I count my friends on one hand. Because that word means a lot to me. And if you've earned that label with me I will go to the ends of the earth for you.

So, I guess it kind of depends on your definition of "trust issues". I think a lot of people would say I do. I say I trust those who've earned that trust. I treat everyone I meet with a modicum of trust, and from then on you're either earning more of it or eroding it.

Shiprex · Answer

Personally, no professionally yes, Now I do. Female managers and representatives unfortunately have failed to act in honourable or legal way in my best interests. Not all of course but 5 have demonstrated they're incapable of reason when a simple agreement and/or explanation with compensation could have saved them 4 times the amount I was asking.

SotiCoto · Answer

It took me a long time to learn that trust is not a matter of honesty, but a measure of how well you know and understand someone. And even a prolific liar can be trusted to be a liar if they're predictable.
That said, I definitely don't understand most people enough to trust them.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

No I don't. I also don't automatically have complete faith in all people all the time. I only don't trust people if they give me a reason not to. I'm very understanding and don't expect people to be perfect because none of us are.

I can give people second chances under certain circumstances but if you become so untrustworthy to me, well, than I probably won't be having you in my life for long.

I've seen a lot of humanity and what they are in the worst of times. Trust issues? I prefer to think of it as reality based expectations of my fellow humans.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

No. I believe I haven't met enough  people  proving me I should develop trust issues.

petitedollbabee · Answer

No, I’m just more ‘picky’ about who I trust these days. It’s not easily given but is 100% given to those who have earned it.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I’m slow to trust but when I do, I commit to it. I wouldn’t call it an “issue”  But my trust isn’t easy to earn

loveslongnails · Answer

No, I'm able to think critically and analyze what I hear and see in a person's behaviors and actions. If I'm distrusting of someone, there's good reason.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

It's hard to trust someone these days, you don't make up a trust issue unless you had put your trust in so many people who had already disappointed you!

McSteamy · Answer

Yup. So far no girl I came across was being honest with me. Its kinda weird because those girls were pretty good tbh.. but somehow they tried to be different and ended up disappointing me.

DonaldDarko · Answer

I probably should have but I doubt that I do.

Miristheiss · Answer

Elaborate? I keep my eye on strangers out in public.

Surely · Answer

I do have some trust issues. But I do try to trust most people until they give me a reason not to trust them.
