I have a hard time trusting people. I've had friends turn on me, family members too. I'm a loyal person,so why

I guess you have to ask yourself this. There are many degrees of trust you bestow on someone. How much trust or degree of trust are you willing to give that someone? Why do you have to trust someone so much that it hurts if they turn on you? I think it's just that you're a loyal person and in exchange expect the same from everyone else. Maybe it's time you look at trust as a courtesy you can give but not to  expect from your family or friends. Give trust to your soul mate. Your one and only TRUSTworthy person on earth!

You're not alone.\nI absolutely understand what you're saying as I'm going through it myself... =( I used to be naive & gullible only to have it blow up in my face.\nI tried changing to adapt as to how people would like me to be... but it wasn't easy & a losing battle at the end.\nFor every person you try to please there's gonna be tons more that don't like you for the same reason. After a while it got tired & I stopped, stayed true to myself & adopt a like me/ hate me attitude. To me it's their loss rather than mine.

For me. I trust them until they give me reason not to. After they break my trust, they have to earn it. No more free trust until it's earned.

Always trust. Trust in yourself first and foremost. People who don't trust by rule of thumb are not trustworthy themselves - or a total pain in the ass. But be conscious and aware, some people will burn you. Never don't give up on trust. Earning it is a gift and makes life worth living!

I trust people to act in the way that they show me they do.  I learned I can't trust anyone to act the way I want them to.  But why should I be able to, they're not me and they have different goals, and different reasoning than I do.  But I can usually trust them to act in the ways that I have observed them acting in the past.   And I take a while to get to know someone before I decide what I think of them.\nSo I only trust myself in one respect, but I trust everyone in another.

People are too scared to tell you how they feel to your face.  I get talked about behind my back but I also have a problem with saying things about others.  I always thought it was human nature, though not okay to do so.  I don't like doing it, and I am trying to stop, but I just find that I am a cynic and I just have trouble telling people what I really think of them to avoid confrontation.  So, I say it to someone else.  I definitely don't think it's okay, I never have, but old habits are hard to break.  I know that it is wrong...judge not lest thee be judged, but it is hard to change, right?

I try so hard to be kind, giving and thoughtful to all. Sometimes it's really hard as people are not sincere in this society today. It seems like I've been let down by so many lately and these are people that have been a part of my life for many years. Just when I needed them most, they all let me down.I was there for them through thick and thin but I just can't do it anymore. There comes a time when even people like me who are sincere, honest and loving has had enough with being taken advantage of and taken for granted. I'm sorry about it but I'm honest.........:o)

There's not much you can do at this point.  If you told someone something and they end up telling someone else, and you didn't want them to, then you have learned an important lesson in life which is not to trust anyone.  Sometimes it's best just to keep things to yourself if it would be hurtful to you for them to get out.  Hopefeully the person doesn't tell - then you will have found a trustworthy person, but they are rare.  I hope you will learn from this and be more careful who you tell things to.  Good luck.

Insecurity is a good guess. Many of those that try to make themselves seem better than others have real issues with themselves. They can not ever believe someone can do something better than them, make more money, etc. What they do is right and what everyone else does is wrong. Unfortunately I  know many many people like that. I have learned to tune them out of my life as much as possible and when I can't I do my best to keep my mouth shut. It really is a shame because I know some that are worse than those they are knocking and it makes me so ill at heart to see a loved one get hurt that way

I learnt that no matter what u do in life or what u do for others u will always have haters.you will always have fake and foony friends. I also learnt that your family is the most perciuos gift you will have in life. And when my sister dead when i was the age of 9, that things happen for a reason.

That's what's hard. You can't ever be 100% sure because if a person can do it once, he can easily do it again. Some people might be able to regain that trust eventually, but I'm not sure that I could ever trust someone who did that to me.

I am very trusting. I have a very open and undeceptive personality and I generally assume that those around me do too.  Obviously this is not the case.

people are selfish and they want their way. they know some people (it sounds like you are one of these people) are good at heart and will trust them and they prey on that trust. im very sorry if you have been used by someone. here's a quote from mother theresa:\nIf you are honest and frank\nPeople may cheat you;\nBe honest and frank anyway.\n\nHonesty, humility and simplicity make you vulnerable.\nBe honest, humble and simple anyway.\n\nthere's more to it, but i thought that was the most relevant. smart lady, wasnt she?

I think people betray because they are insecure about themselves, and if they betray someone, they are focusing on someone else and not themselves.

Trust is sometimes not there.  He might have done a lot of mistrusting things in his lifetime.  I know one someone who always did not trust his girlfriends.  The reason was that he always cheated on them.  If you cheat, you have a habit of thinking others cheat on you.
