Can you really trust anybody?

Of course you can.. If you know you can be trusted then you know there are others that can be trusted...

You can pick your friends...
You can pick your nose...
But you cant pick your friends nose.

Words of Wisdom from Mayhem.

no.

YES,,,,but you WILL trust in many wrong ones first..

few and far between.. but i think so

trust someone? as in what? to walk your dog? to get your paper? to do what you tell them to do? trust means a lot of different things... the only person to really trust is yourself

that's called the learning process, isn't it?? Well anyways, I thought it was.. lol

Trust as in, you can count on them when you need them??
Or, as in when we share our thoughts and feelings, that person won't tell someone else??

Trust those who are trustworthy.
Keep your friends close.
Forgive your enemies, but always remember their names.

I believe most of what people tell me, but i dont truly trust people.

There is only 1 person who i can trust completely, who I would never doubt, he has shown me that he is true to his word over and over, I see it in everything he does,

Trust is something that has to be earned and once lost can never be regained so guard it as it is truly precious to be able to trust someone.

I have learned it's best not to trust anyone.

you can if you can hold your friend down long enough...LOL!

trust yourself enough to follow your instincts when deciding who can be trusted with what!

I don't understand how people get through life without being able to trust anyone.

It's simple. I just think about how much better my life would have been had I never trusted anyone in the first place. It's just "preventative medicine."

I can see being careful about who you trust. But I need to be able to trust some people in my life. I can't go through life being paranoid, thinking everyone is out to get me.

yes, it takes some time tho, and there are levels of trust. so to trust someone completely means to trust at a level that most won't reach in your weird little inner world

and I agree with buttons - at that level - complete trust it will be few & far between

on a day to day basis I usually start out trusting until something happens that causes me to doubt. I've been wrong, I've been surprised (both good & bad)- I trust my instincts so I am little more cautious than I have to be prolly

I suppose that's fine, in theory. But I've never run across a "right person." Everyone I ever trusted -- and I was pretty naive in my younger days -- turned out to be a mistake. You learn from your mistakes, right? If I stuck my hand in an alligator's mouth enough times, I'd eventually figure out that this was not a smart thing to do.

I don't think I'm paranoid, and I certainly don't think anyone is out to get me. They're just not people I can trust. It has more to do with practicality and my own personal experience than anything else.

So, you just can't trust anyone? Friends? Family? No one? I find that hard to believe.
