How easily do you trust people?

[Kirbyz]

i usually tend to trust just about anyone if they seem nice, but of course that’s not always a good thing. i think there’s good in everyone, but not everyone has good intentions; id know from experiences ive had with fake friends in the past. if im being honest though, i trust just about anyone of this community since everyone is so whole-hearted and wonderful

if im being honest though, id trust just about anyone on this site with my life! everyone is just so honest and whole-hearted.

I get what you mean with this. The community here is just a whole different vibe. Although I’m not close friends with anyone, I do have respect for all the members here. I think almost all of the members are pretty amazing.

I'm always super weary around basically everyone and I have a very difficult time trusting people. I need then to reassure me constantly that they won't break my trust because it's been broken so many times in my life that I've just grown to be weary of people, even close family.

I think back to a month ago when I was visiting my uncles in Alabama, it literally took about 3 weeks before I could become completely comfortable with them. before then I was terrified to tell them anything because I was afraid they would get irritated/angry or they would question me constantly or they would become annoyed. I couldn't ask them to take me somewhere I wanted to go, I was afraid to get something to eat, I tried to be as quiet as possible, etc.

I'm unfortunately a victim of emotional abuse so I'm just very cautious and pretty untrusting of people. it takes a long time for them to earn my trust and I know that frustrates people. once I learn to trust someone they become one of my favorite people cause there are very few whom I trust 100%.

Depends on what kind of trust we’re talking about. While my job gives me nothing but horrible, depressing experiences, I still choose to believe most people (at least 51%) are good. I give most people the benefit of the doubt. Now, trust with my life? My young kid? My money? My gaming collection? My closest, immediate family.

It takes a while for me to trust people you have to show me that I can trust you because I don’t wanna get played.

For me, trust has to be earned over time. Words need to match people's actions time and time again for me to fully trust them.
I have paid the price for trusting people too quickly. I'd advise anyone who thinks they need to trust people more easily to rethink it a bit. Some people get lucky in life and don't encounter terrible people that hurt them or take advantage of them for trusting easily, but I personally feel it's way more common for that quick trust to be taken advantage of.

In person I tend to get sucked into trusting people too easily. People take advantage of me. When it comes to people coming to my island, I have to keep it short and sweet. Get in, do the trade, get out. No exploring, no touring. People have stolen so much from me because I let them in and didn't know them.

 

[amylase]

I just don't. It's easier. "shrugs" I'm the person at work who is the "mysterious" one. As I don't talk about my personal life. "shrugs" It's mostly all about competition and who can one up another at work. Also gossip. No thanks! Frankly I could care less. I always trust my heart and that's all that matters.

 

[VanitasFan26]

If the person I am speaking with supports me as a person, doesn't go back on their word, and doesn't break any promises then I trust them. Its very rare in my case given how many times I've had to deal with this online and in real life.

I'm a pretty calm and laid-back person, so I don't normally cause any problems with anyone. It's just not worth my time or energy. I am not too trusting or distrusting of people. I will give someone a chance, depending on the circumstance. I can definitely smell bs and see a fake person pretty easily now.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

It depends on the situation! If I'm out and about by myself and some stranger approaches me and starts a conversation for no reason, I'm going to be very high on alert, and not very trusting.
If it's like.. on the internet, like someone coming to my island in NH, I'll pretty much let them have free reign over my island.
As for family, idk, depends on who it is.

I’m not anymore. I’m usually comfortable opening up to people right away, but there’s always this thought in the back of my mind that they’ll ghost or block me. It’s happened enough times to where I’m overly cautious. Usually the paranoia vanishes after a few months. Once I reach that point I have no issue with trusting people.

 

[Mr_Keroppi]

Im so weird! I can trust people I met like 2 days ago! That is one of my least favorite things about myself is that I listen to EVERYONE and trust everyone in the world! I need to learn and see if people are truly kind!

No I have trust issues I usually take a long time to trust people after when I was younger I was extremely trusting and people took advantage of me and I learned the hard way.

I can relate to this feeling a lot.

 

[Metal Scorpion]

I find it very difficult to trust people due to past...circumstances and issues. I'm quite worried of being betrayed or abandoned by friends.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 

[Alienfish]

I got large trust issues so I definitely don't trust people easily.

And, yeah unless you are very lucky people doesn't care much about bonding at work unless it's like for using you for something, lol.

 

[Chrysopal]

I consider everyone to be their own 'Island' let's say..
So I observe others, and allow others to analyze my self as well.
From then on I decided how much and what I trust with another- that being said sometimes I say too much and end up making a fool of myself, or even hurting someone's feelings because of my lack of thinking before I speak or act. Same has been done to me- so this is why I believe it's best to stay cautious and to do good to others even more than fairness.

 

[demoness]

not easily at all; in fact, i have issues with not having control and the borderline tendencies are the concentration of that.
