Meh 2 years ago

There is nobody I can trust at my work! Oh well, I didnt expect to find anybody trustworthy anyway



Another thing 2 years ago

The fact that someone keeps telling you that you are their “best friend” does not mean that they are trustworthy from your perspective!



Boy oh boy 2 years ago

This sounds so trivial but I’ve been repeatedly making this mistake -

Lustful feelings do not imply trustworthiness!



Making little progress 2 years ago

Trust eludes me, once again.

Having had a history of misplaced trust I am now hesitant to trust, particularly those I have become attached to – I dont trust that my reasons of attachment are justified and I don’t trust them to be genuine towards me either.. What must one do to get out of such quandary?



office friendship - an oxymoron? 2 years ago

The more someone tells me I can trust them the more doubtful I become. I want to trust but I have reservations.



The stumbling block 3 years ago

How, or when do I know when to trust someone with my feelings? It seems that some people although friendly on the surface are really not who they seem. More often than not I mistake their friendliness for signs of possible, genuine friendship. Its disappointing



It appears that 3 years ago

I trust too eagerly – most likely because I would like to be able to trust. Various people have commented to me that they wont trust someone unless they’ve known this peron for at least 3 years – trust in this context being lending money, helping them deal with a crisis, etc.

3 years eh? Well then, there are indeed very few people I can trust..



It's a difficult task 3 years ago

I am not making much progress here – Someone I thought I could trust is not who they seem after all. It’s not wise to assume guilty until proven innocent but I’m afraid they will have to prove their worth in order for me to trust them



Not sure how this can be accomplished.. 3 years ago

There’s always some hidden agenda, some angle that I think I may have missed..
