(On advice I've made this a new thread and not just as a Singles thread post)
Ooooo, let's have a discussion....... about trust. :D
I'm interested to know how people deal with their own trust issues and does this halt them in a relationship? Are there some people that trust easily and deeply? Others that just cant - is this the reason why they are not in a relationship? Are there those that are in a relationship but still find they can't trust? How does one rebuild trust?
I've been thinking about it a lot lately because I realise it is really really hard for me to trust people. Possibly hindering my chances to have any kind of relationship. I had lunch with a friend today and she commented that I'll happily tell her what's been going on, stories, the laughs, likes and dislikes but there will come a point where I will close off. In her words, "You only tell me stuff that you wouldn't care if I told someone else" Damn straight.
Yes, I have been hurt in love, but I think the trust issues were already under the surface before all this. Maybe I was just born wary? In comparison, my cousin who is 10 years older then me - falls in love, gets hurt, trusts again, falls in love, gets hurt, trusts again.... the cycle goes on. I find it really interesting how people can be so different.
So, are you a hopeless romantic and can't help trusting? Why? Or the other way? Tell! To generate more discussion, do you have different trust issues with friends and or relationships?
