Have you ever put your trust in someone and later realized they didn't deserve it?

Question

EpicDweeb · Accepted Answer

Thus far, I have not. I have been blessed to have chosen my friends well and to have learned discernment at an early age. I have yet to give my trust to one who has betrayed it.

However, I have given my trust to someone who had done nothing to earn it. I don't consider most people worthy of trust whether they've proved themselves reliable or not. Some will build up trust for the sake of being able to betray it later. I'd prefer to choose whether or not to trust in a person, assuming ahead of time that they are unworthy of my trust. So... I don't think I've ever given my trust to someone and then LATER realized they didn't deserve it... but I have put my trust in people who I knew beforehand had done nothing to earn it... Even so I have yet to regret those decisions, for which I am thankful.

Not someone, but something. Specifically my dog. I had my breakfast on the table and told my dog to NOT come up and eat it while I'm in the bathroom. Needless to say, when I arrived, the food was gone and so was my dog. Never trusting her ever again.

Frequently. Which is why I am extremely cautious and find it difficult to trust people who say they want to be with me or be my friend.

If I do trust someone, it's never 100% because that protects me from getting hurt

I think this happens to most everyone. It's just a live and learn type of thing.

Seems to happen all the time to me. I don't get it, because I'm not very naive.

Yeah... I regret it :(

HGG3805 · Answer

Yes, that happens to most of us. But you can't assume everyone will do that to you. Life is sad enough without cutting yourself off from the rest of us. Learn from your mistakes. And when it happens again. Chalk it up to another one of life's lesson. And get back in the game.

roy_ricky09 · Answer

Well honestly I used to happen to me a lot, but with the time and learning and pushing myself to limits, I'm longer a person who'd trust anymore just like that now.

Trust is something that people do when they expect, but when you stop expecting you stop getting hurt.

We've all had it, though I must say I haven't had these extremely frustrating situations of being totally betrayed or so. Some people are good at winning someones confidence and than abusing it :-(
