Trust

[BrokenInside]

Does trust have to be earned or is it simply a matter of faith?

 

[LoneKiller]

I believe it begins with faith. Unless someone gives me a reason not to trust them, in most cases I will trust them. If I trust someone and they burn me, they will then have to earn it back.

 

[Sci-Fi]

Having put my trust in people in the past and having it broken, to me it has to be earned.

RESPECT is given without having been previously received, it is revoked upon one incident of not being reciprocated

TRUST is earned, and only to be given once EARNED

both can be lost, respect can be re-earned, trust is never fully reparable

 

[Barbaloot]

Earned. And even then still be wary.

This is an interesting thread. Some people will say that trust is like an ice cube. Once it melts, it gone. Can we all honestly say that trust can be restored 100% with those who have violated it? Can we really say that with an honest heart?

no, we can't.

trust is based on a calculated risk that a person is not going to deceive or harm you

calculations take into account past behavior, they must

therefore, NO, trust can never fully be regained

EXCEPT for in the RARE INSTANCE of some insane display of trustwortiness

a person taking a bullet for you, etc...

My one friend was weird about this. He said he trusted people until they gave him a reason not to.

Not the other way around, where they would give him a reason to trust them (which is what I do).

Stone Cold, Steve Austin said it the best: don't trust anybody!

I feel like that as well. When you've felt the knife on the back many times, you realize it's something to be very careful about.

This was me.

Now, having been deceived, betrayed and broken, fidelity has to be demonstrated. I don't believe trust has to be earned but i do believe you have to consistently demonstrate to me you are trustworthy first.

Love earning. Trust earning = Unhealthy behaviors
Somewhere alone the line...you'll get into leaning on other's for your happiness, securities...ect.
Then you'll get into controlling or expectations.

My ideal partner should be/behave like this or that, WhAtever perfect idea that is...I have.
Time and time again people failed to live up to those perfect idea. They lack so much fucken integrety.lol

So often I too failed to live up to those standards...If i can only trust myself enough to stop leaning on others.
Believe in myself enough my life could be so less complicated.lol

I think trust is one of those old ****** up ideas and unworkable beliefs I ought to let go of.....
Its one of those ****** invention......
Becuase people are ganna do whatever the **** they're gonna do with or without my approval.

No, it can't be fully restored. No matter how hard someone tries to be trusted again.

 

[perfanoff]

Trust.. I've been thinking about trust..

At the end of the day, you can really only trust yourself. If you dare.

 

[Gutted]

I generally trust people until they give me a reason not to. If they first come across as dodgy for example, then I wont trust them. Also there are limits. Despite trusting someone, it doesn't mean I will leave them in my house alone. There are levels of trust.

dingdingding! We have a winner!

i think that trust can be fully restored.

but it takes a very special sacrifice or deed.

one that inherently says "i am a different person than i was then"
