Not able to trust people

[Harry]

Is that a disease ? I always thought that is someone being smart. This world is not for the weak. Time has proven it many times.

But some people always are hard to believe in. In most cases, their show-offs are brilliant. But that itself is a reason not to trust them.

No, it's definitely not a disease, many of us struggle to trust. I'm typically stand-offish around people until I really know them, I think many are similar in this regard. Fear of being hurt makes you wary of letting too many people in.

Trust needs to be earned, this can only happen through repeated interactions. Anyone who asks you trust them blindly is asking you to forgo that natural process.

Agreed. You have to be careful who you trust.

That is good to know. I see some people are blind with trust. If someone asks you for money, they will give it right away. I will start wondering what if they do not return, what if it is going to end up in trouble.

I read somewhere about a previous President. It was do not trust anyone but be decent to all.

I think trust is mostly linked to confidence. So it's not so much a case of whether someone will reveal a secret or take something from you, it's more of your expectations of what will happen afterwards. That has helped me put things into perspective. Like, trust is a fundamental feeling and hard to dismiss - but looking at it as a means of confidence is helpful to know.

It's certainly not a disease to not trust people. Sometimes previous experiences make it harder for people to trust. I agree with the others that trust needs to be earned.

never trust anyone you meet off a forum

It is natural to not trust people, but when you start mistrusting everyone and doubt everything, you need to understand there is something wrong in your brain.

Even if I am trying to be cool, I can never be extra cool, I simply have to act when it is needed. The world doesn't need weakling, if any one acts like that, he or she will be hit off by enemies.
