Trust People

Last night I made a connection between to events: Growing up being told not to trust anyone and how some people try to put their fears on to you (for w/e reason)... THE CONNECTION: Not trusting people probably has more to do with another person’s fears then mine.
This thought is still spinning in my head…

Little by little I learn to trust people. Its not an overnight thing, it is taking constant reevaluation and realignment of distrustful beliefs but its working out. I don’t see people in such a bad light before and I’m not so scared to say whats on my mind. I expect that by the end of the year this will be handled

Lately, I’ve had some great experiences of how I really have great, mature, dependable, trustworthy people in my life. That’s great.

But there’s also been at least one incident where one person proved to be maybe not even worth my friendship in the first place – if you can’t understand that I’m an independent adult you have no place in my life. And it’s funny how much someone who knows you can hurt you with just a few words. So that experience doesn’t encourage me to trust people a lot.

But maybe it’s a question of balance. You can’t tell everything to everyone, but you can choose to assume the best of people until they prove not to be worth it.

Still a lot of work to do with this goal: I’m not the warmest, most trusting person around. And I want to trust at least a bit more.

Must try hard…so I can let the inner me out

it’s hard to trust people. it’s straight down scary. but i think you have to realize that no, not everyones gonna screw you over. there are some worthy people out there.
so my goal is to give everyone the trust they deserve. and later on if they prove they dont deserve it – then fine, they don’t deserve it.

It’s a difficult and rare thing for me.

i always get rid of friends at some point. i always start to think and concern a lot when i find out more about that friend. i really want to trust people i met
so i can get close to them, however, my past experience is when i got closer to new friend, i found some behaviors or background of this person made me uneasy, i felt like he may do some bad things to me and i would not know how to handle it
probably i need to believe i can handle whatever come to me first (having more confident and a stronger mind) before building a relationship.

well i trusted and got hurt…and i try and trust but i just cant…and i push ppl away because of it….i want to be better…i want to give everyone a chance…and i cant….and after my last trip with trust why the hell should i trust anyone…as i have once been told: you live by yourself, you die by yourself so do shit for yourself…so here i go im doing shit for myself…

I always push people away because I fear them leaving me for someone else. I know its my own insecurities that make me feel that way, but I cant stop how I act. Im about to lose a real great girl because I get upset at little things like her chatting with other guys on myspace.
I need to change now, or ill die alone.

I want to be able to trust the people I love
