As a child, did adults in your life advise more for you to find people to put trust in or to be very careful with who you trust?

[Rab1901]

Find people to put trust in

Be very careful with who you trust

Both. It was confusing

Both. I figured it out

Neither

They always told me that only family can be trusted and that you can go to any lengths to protect your family. The only two people I can stand in my family are my brother and dad. My mom is okay, but if she makes racist or disparaging remarks about any race/religion, I walk out of the room. I have never been able to stand discrimination.

My trust is limited to only 11 people (family and friends included) and a Siamese fighting fish, named Stardust.

My mom hated me and wanted me to die. I was never taught not to get in the car with people I don’t know, not to talk to strangers, not to accept money from men I’m not dating, not to walk home alone at night. My mom hated me and wanted me to get raped and murdered and she tried to kill me by denying me medical treatment for 6 years when I had anorexia and diabetes as a 9 year old and she also tried to poison me when I was 21.

All they taught me was to always choose blood over water. But clearly they all trash. I’ll trust anyone until they give me a reason not to

Be careful about who you share your personal life with. Make sure you can trust them.

Neither. All they showed me is how not to behave.
