Do you consider guilty until proven otherwise?...or trust until that person fails you?

I look at it this way...If I can't trust myself, how can I trust another...?

Trust until proven otherwise. I'm been told I'm too good/nice of a person and that I trust too easily.

I trust people implicitly, until they intentionally betray that trust.

trust until they fail me

Im not the police....I trust till you lie

trust(with caution)until that person fails you.

...too vague a question. I've had those I entrusted for years do me wrong.

i give everyone a fair shake. but i don't give second chances.

Case by case basis.

Trust yourself first, and so, then attract kindred trusted souls.

I'm ever that storybook character, w/ the lantern, looking for the honest face.

I tread cautiously, 2 steps back as if handling snakes.

Some WILL be angels.

Many will be .... Stay outta the tall grass!

depends on the situation

trust until proven otherwise, but still listen to my heart, if it is telling me something is wrong, it is usually right

People have to earn my trust. I've been burned way too many times by people.

with out trust you have nothing.. but trust is also earned... with me don't ever betray that trust..you won't like it.

I go in with the view that nothing is ever a sure thing. Prove it otherwise, and I might give it the benefit of doubt.

I agree, it depends on the situation...

If I were in a committed relationship and my significant other cheated on me, they in my eyes would be non-trustworthy. It would be a to repair the trust.

On other hand, I wouldn't call a person non-trustworthy if they wanted to end a non-committed relationship. I just wouldn't entrust them with any more of my thoughts.

Trust is something I think no one is entitled to.

If it is someone wants trust from me they have to earn it.

If they come to the table with a good track record they start even with the boards but if it is shakey then they don't have a lot of hope I am going to waste time on them. Maybe that seems hard but I made the sacrifices to have a good record and I don't see why I have to give someone a "do over".

I also think I have to take some responsibility for the Privilege someone gets with my trust. I am not going to go behind someone every time to see that they are trustworthy but they need to expect that I will occasionally check. And that there are just some lines they better not cross because the cost is carved in stone.

I think I need to trust myself too. If you become so vunerable that your life crashes when one person you trust lets you down I feel like you are being lazy and handing over your saftey. I don't feel like I have to give so much of myself over that I would be that vunerable.

I'm not a lawyer or a judge

I dont need proof

all I need is to think it might be so

Tend to agree hear...I have been taken through the gammut and mauled...not much trust even though others have encouraged me.

I trust my intuition. My intuition says to trust one local friend less. Last time my intuition about a person was negative, it was right. Last time I ignored my intuition about someone, it bit me in the ass.
