Trust is a difficult one with me. Most of the time, one on one with another person, I would say I am too trusting and a bit naive but I don't trust groups of people together, especially when they are whispering or laughing, as I get paranoid that I am the source of their amusement.

I do not find trust easy at all. I find it such a hard thing to do. In the past, I have trusted people who have betrayed me and broke that trust so therefore nowadays, I trust people even less which is not good as trust is the building blocks to any relationship.

I find it really hard to trust people

After one particularly horrible experience (and a couple of nasty ones) with a "traitor", I found it really tricky to trust people. But then I decided : Do not judge people by the actions of a few. I now treat each new person as if I had never had the bad experiences in the first place. I judge them on how they personally behave towards me. It took a lot of time and effort in the begginging to start doing this but it has really paid off.

Im quite paranoid, it is very hard for me to trust people and I dont think I ever will. I think its cause I have been let down to much and betrayed. The worst time was with my "best friend" it broke me inside, this was like almost 4 years ago, I havent trusted anyone since. Im now really cynical, but it gave me a whicked sense of humour.
