Do you tend to trust people easily?

Question

GuyAnswersGirls123 · Accepted Answer

Very much so in the sense of assuming a lack of deception but not naively. I've had my trust betrayed a number of times. To trust someone is to take a risk as I see it. I just think it's generally worth the risk.

If we start distrusting each other left and right, we might ward off potential enemies but also ward off some of the greatest potential allies we might find.

Also just logically, innocent until proven guilty makes a lot more sense to me since it's near impossible for someone to prove their innocence if we start off assuming guilt.

I also have some practical personal rules about relying on people, like avoid lending anyone a sum of money large enough that I would be hurt deeply if they failed to pay me back. I mitigate my risks in a variety of ways when I come to depend on people so that I won't be hurt too deeply if they betray my trust.

Nah, I think there's different levels to trust, but very few have reached that last level

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

NO. I reserve the right to not trust anyone until they prove to me they're worth trusting. I'm sorry to be cynical, but as I've gotten older and screwed over by supposed friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc... I've learned most people cannot be fully trusted. They will lie in your face, manipulate you, take information you told them in privacy and tell everyone else-

Noo... I don't trust people until they they've proven to me they're trustworthy: which in most cases can take months or years to get to that point.

No, I have to get to know people really well before I trust someone. I've been burned before trusting especially kids in school. The only people I absolutely trust are my parents, younger sister and brother and my boyfriend. Oh and I have 3 friends from school that I trust as well.

AmandaYVR · Answer

I don't trust easily, I generally read people well, and I can be skeptical, but I also fundamentally believe that we have to take some amount of risk, and put our faith in others, or we would never be 'rewarded' or enriched by good relationships.

Also, everyone will let someone down, at some point; or maybe more than once. That should not be cause to banish them from one's life. It depends, of course, on the details of what and how, but there's a difference between someone's feelings getting hurt, and a punishable offence, and something that is truly unforgivable.

Lately, I'm tired of people's lack of trust, honestly. No one wants to be a fool, but I think society is becoming too 'red-flat'-obsessed nowadays. It's intolerant, and fear-based, not just not wanting to be a mark. People are discarded. Relationships stagnate. And I'm starting to take offence to people's lack of trust in me when I haven't actually ever betrayed it.

Beckybooboo · Answer

I’m the most trusting person in the world! It hasn’t gotten me into trouble, yet, but that’s because I usually have friends around. 😂 Just this last summer, friends and I were out and our last stop was a dance type bar, so we closed it and when we got to my car, turned out I left my headlights on, so the battery was dead. No one had cables to jump it but these three guys offered to take us home (I live 10 minutes away). I was ready to jump in the car and go, but my friend stood in front of me and said her brother is on his way. It was a lie, so they left and we were still stuck there. Thankfully, a cop came by and called a tow truck to jump us for $50. I’ve always been trusting and probably won’t change.

I combed my hair, put a little cologne on and a pair of pants! Now, I can answer. It depends how big they are. I’m a fairly big guy and have had my share of fights, yes, mainly on the ice but still, the laws of physics are basically the same, because you both have the same footing. If they’re a smaller mass to move, obviously, you don’t need that much thrusting power but when I’ve tried to thrust guys, 6’4”, 6’5” and over 240, 250 pounds, even I got a little scared! It’s like trying to push a tree trunk! Hope this helped!

Kaneki05 · Answer

That's more to what degree. I trust someone very easily if it's about something minor but more of a deal it is, the less I would trust.
It's like I ain't going to 2nd guess if someone told me what they had for dinner, hell they could be lying about it but I am going to trust they told the truth.
Then if somebody told me I don't know they murdered someone, I would have to think about that a lot more lmao.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

I give the benefit of the doubt... I think I want to believe people don't exist only to harm others. It works... mostly... but sometimes I regret it badly.

but rebuild the broken trust... probably impossible

AmeerX · Answer

I can trust people but not with money no. But other things I am trusting.

Last year I got in a fraud 🤥, it was for solar panels and this guy I paid full advance and he didn't send the goods. Police surely didn't help either so I had to get some high ranks involved but still only got like 1/4th amount back.

And good woman who is serious about life will be good with money her man gives her. She will be a saver, not a spender.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

Oh no! I hardly trust anyone, 2 people that i trust blindly, 1st person is myself and than my mother...

Life had taught me that trusting someone is the hardest thing in life, if you find the real person whom you can 100% trust forever that this will be a miracle from heaven...

Living in trusting no one causes a lot less pain and devastation...

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

No. People can't be trusted at all. Understand humans are flawed, have temptations you don't know nothing about and are subject to change and in some cases suddenly without warning.

Only Jesus Christ can be trusted as He is pure, holy and righteous so that's who I put my 100% trust in.

sawno · Answer

Yeah, but I am naturally less prone to be effected by negative outcomes of that. Obviously my level of trust will vary depending on the situation but I usually trust people and they end up being trustworthy. But simultaneously I am very true to myself so if they do betray my trust not much is lost.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I used to trust people fast, but people have broken my trust a lot in the past and used my humanity against me. Thanks to them, I find it very difficult to trust people now. Even when I know someone for a long time, I still don't trust them and are prepared to get betrayed by them since even some "great friends of mine" which I knew for almost 8 years broke my trust in the end.

HawkPerception · Answer

Yeah I can be pretty dumb like that. When I have a get a good vibe from someone who seems like they'd have my back, I trust them pretty easily. I wouldn't trust them with money or my life, but I take their word for the most part.

I used to but not anymore. within the first few months to a year of getting to know someone i will be cordial and friendly but not fully trust them until a lot of time has passed.

TallAnon · Answer

No, I don't trust many people a lot, but I also realize that not trusting people all the time just makes things harder. It's a bit of a calculation of how much you'd lose if they broke your trust.
