Search Results: gaining trust

I’ve had enough dealing with animals both wild and domestic to make me wish I could actually talk to them I’ve had a completely wild raccoon mother allow her babies to sit on my lap all they ate dog food from my hand, that took about 3-4 years of d gaining her trust i’ve also been licked by female elk, and all dogs love me (and for some reason cats not a cat owner fan don’t mind cats but I don’t think I would own a cat ). Anyway Radom thoughts

I consider myself a high functioning adult these days; I was a professional "Composer/Recording Artist" for a number of years after gaining a PhD in Music Composition from Birmingham Conservatoire. However the money was sporadic at best so I changed careers and became a Chef, quickly rising through both the ranks and up the quality spectrum over 10 years to eventually become a Sous Chef at a 2* Michelin Establishment in London. However due to relationship responsibilities picking up (my fiance is a doctor and we both work 16hr days). Which would make having Kids... tricky to say the least. So I changed career again so I could maybe work from home. So now I am training to be an Ethical Hacker (Cyber Security Engineer). Anyway, my point is, most out people out there whom I have worked with, have always considered me very capable/dependable. So when they eventually find out that I come from a highly abusive background, they get taken aback... and some have even accused me of outright lying about it...( I can only assume that this is because "in their mind" you can't come from that kind of background and be anything other than dysfunctional...) Unusually, it's also often Women who have accused me of lying about this... and I am really not sure why... Guys tend to take it at face value (or even give me "props for not letting it affect me"). To clarify, my mum was diagnosed with Cancer when I was about 3, and my father was away on business abroad a lot, so I was only ever with her (watching her slowly fall apart), she died when I was 6.. my dad remarried, who I can only describe as a sociopath, she emotionally/mentally and physically abused me, gaslighting at every opportunity to make me and my father think we were loosing the plot.. I spent a lot of time believing I was having "black outs" because I couldn't remember hurting myself in the way she said..(because it was her). To this day I struggle a lot with trusting women.. I have to force myself to not assume the worst

Romance scams occur when a criminal adopts a fake online identity to gain a victim’s affection and trust. The scammer then uses the illusion of a romantic or close relationship to manipulate and/or steal from the victim.

Childhood- (Age 1-12) You are protected by literally everyone, you are entirely new so everything is new and exciting for you. As a small child you don't have to worry about paying bills, working, and trying to provide for yourself because everyone cover literally everything for you.

But in exchange you have no basic rights, everyone from adults, teens, and others children can legally mess with you and disrespect you and you can't do anything about it. You can get physically, mentally, and phycology get abused and considering you can't get work you are flat poor.

Adolescent- (Age 13-18) As an official teenager you are starting to become your own specific woman or man, your parents are starting to lighten up their control on you. Now you are starting to get a bigger view on the world, most people are starting to give you more responsibility and you are starting to gain a bit of freedom.

Downside of being a teenager you aren't entirely free compared to adults, but you isn't carefree unlike smaller children. Most people are expecting way too much from you but doesn't trust you with the slightest freedom, your homones are entirely wack as hell, and most teenagers tend to face bullying from peers.

Adulthood- (Age 18+) You are finally free from your teachers, parents, and all other adults control from you. As a full grown man and woman you are now officially your own person who can get work, and move out of your parents house. The money you earned is officially yours and the whole world is officially opened up for you.


The freedom with adulthood comes to a huge price you are officially responsible for yourself and others if you choose to be responsible. If you moved out of your parents home they aren't going to help you pay those bills and mortgage, the world is extremely expensive and you better deal with the situation. You also starting to lose tons of energy from childhood.
