Trust
11/29/20
It can be hard to trust others, especially if you have had your trust broken before. Anyone with a traumatic past (so most people) will have a tough time trusting. When you put your trust in the wrong person and they hurt you then you might start questioning yourself more often as you no longer trust yourself. But even the people who love us can hurt us.
Trust is an essential thing for you to have or else you will be constantly worried. If you don't trust others then you would have to do everything yourself and ain't nobody got time for that (ha!). So eventually you have to start trusting. When you tell someone something personal you are trusting in them enough to put yourself out there. You expect them to listen and not judge or else you wouldn't have told them. Some people in your life are on a different trust level than others. If you have a friend that tends to gossip you might not share much personal things with them. While getting to know someone their pattern of behavior and attitude helps you to determine if you feel comfortable enough to share certain things about yourself.
At some point you have to trust people to make the best decision for themselves. If you constantly question someone's decisions, what does that tell them? No one knows why someone does something except that person.
I have a hard time trusting strangers but I also want to give people the benefit of the doubt because I want others to do the same with me. When I was younger I was told to always respect authority, especially your parents, no matter what they say. But as I got older I realized that is not always the best. Not all adults and people in charge are to be trusted and do not always have your best interest at heart. There are people out there that have no regard for other people but themselves.
