    I used to trust my sister but then she found out about me hurting myself and told my parents.
    I used to trust my tutor but she was only pretending she gave a crap about me.
    I used to trust my friend (who is no longer my friend) but she started being a bitch and telling everyone about me being a lesbian before I was ready for everyone to know and also started insulting me.
    The list goes on and on. As of now, I trust no one. When I trust people they tend to just hurt me so it's hard for me to trust people. Apart from on the internet of course since no one here knows who I am. (!)

    I trust a lot of people. I trust my mother, my boyfriend, and my best friend who has supported me at all my life stages. These three people are my base, and without them I wouldn't have the love, the support, and the good judgement needed to make the excellent choices I have in life. Social support networks are so, so important, important enough to even affect things like life span and development! That I have a good support network is one of my greatest gifts :slight_smile:.

    I trust family and close friends (including boyfriend). Otherwise, it's hard to trust a lot of other people. I've been betrayed by family or close friends yet, so I have no reason not to trust. I have to trust some people. Going through life without trusting anyone would be impossible for me.

    I trust my best friend, my favorite teacher from high school, my mentor and a couple kids I got close to last year.

    I don't trust anybody, not even myself. Although getting to know myself helped a lot, but there are still areas of life that I don't know how I would react to.

    As for others, complete 100% trust is unknown to me. There are some people that I trust with some things, for example I don't have problem leaving my phone and wallet in my jacket next to my friends (ok that's 2 people I'm talking about...), but I wouldn't trust them with my deepest secrets. I fear they would use them against me or abandon me because of them, as others did in the past.

    I trust my family with certain things, but I wouldn't tell them my secrets either. My cousin is the one that I share the most things with, but even she doesn't know my true self. Here, on the relatively anonymous internet, I'm more open, but trust is still a problem.

    Always trust yourself. Trusting ones own thought minuses deliberation time, it boost memory, and establishes self confidant. This does not mean you are always right though it does provide a person some reassurance in knowing that they are doing the activities they want to do in their daily life.

    When people fail you DO NOT fail yourself.

    Very few people, and those who I do know very well who they are.

    I used to trust my two best friends, but now they are distant I wish I never trusted them. I guess the person i trust most right now is my best friends older sister.

    I trust no one until they prove they can be trusted

    I trust people who deserve to be trusted. No need to be jaded, good people happen. And trust me, I have definitely trusted the wrong people before, but I have learned since then.

    I trust different people for different reasons. For example, I trust my mum to be caring and understanding, I trust my dad to be respectful of my privacy (like not going through my Facebook messages like my mum does), and I trust my oldest family friend to always be there for me.

    In order to live in a civilized society, trust is an important component of that. I need to trust that the food that I buy is safe, that the car I drive was properly designed and built, that the doctor I see is competent, that the buildings I live and work in are sturdy and warm...All of these things involve human beings who decide to do their work with honesty and integrity, yes, humans are fallible, but a lot of good gets done anyway...

    We trust a lot more than we think!

    Honestly there is no one who knows 100% about all the important things in my life. There are three friends and my brother who I kind of trust, but not fully. I have a really amazing teacher though, who I just came out to, and I have the feeling I could tell her anything, but I get really shy on this topic, so I'm not sure how much I really trust her.

    All of the amazing members of EC of course! :grin:

    However, offline I only trust my best friend, my sister and my mother... yet sometimes I give away trust easily and that has turned out bad in the past :/
