Is it a hard thing for you to do? Do you have trouble trusting people online or/and IRL? And how many people do you trust online? Like on PC for example.

As for me, it depends on the person's character. I'll always be paranoid about this sort of thing, but there are probably a select few people on PC I trust the most and would consider as my best friends. As for real life.. I guess it would be the same situation, except trusting people IRL is easier I suppose.

Trust can only be established after you've known or talked to a person for a very long time. IRL, I trust my friends completely, and I know they trust me....simply because we've spent so much time together. On PC...Sure, I trust people, but it's a lot different in an online community =P

If I were to be honest with myself I would say that Yes I do have some trust issues. Of all the people I know there are very very few that I trust. IRL I would say the number is around 4 total. and yes there are a few here that I would trust completely, however there area number of people here who are at varying degrees of trust in my book.

Yea, it's hard for me to trust others. I can't even trust my "friends" in RL but I got my reasons for this. I learned that people mostly only care about themselves and that I'm the only one who can trust myself. Of course there might be people who aren't that selfish but most of them are. I was exploited so many times that I just dont want to trust anyone anymore.
There's only one person on the Internet I trust though Ive never talked to him in RL but there's something that tells me I could trust him... Besides Ive already known him for at least 2 years and I guess that's kinda a long time for an Internet "friendship".

As long as I can trust myself I don't need anyone.

Well it depends, I only trust like 5 people in real life, 3 of them I've known since I was like in 1st grade. :3 However Online, it really depends. :\ I do trust some people online though, and I think they know who they are. ;3 But some people I do know in real life, have betrayed me, like BADLY, so it's kinda hard to trust again. >_<;;

I trust a few people online, and I trust a few people in real life, but not much.

It's really not my fault, that people can't shut their mouths up... >_>

I don't have that much of an issue with trusting, although it's become more of an issue over the past few years. I find it's easier to trust people online, considering they seem like someone credible and not like some pedophile rapist person, because they can't tell anyone simply because they have no one to tell. And it's easier to handle judgement when you cant see facial expressions or hear the tone of voice.

Yeah, I find it easier to trust people online. If I don't like you, I can just block you. Can't do that in real life, unfortunatly XD

But it depends what I trust them with...I suppose I trust very few people then.

Yeah, it is easier to trust someone online.
IRL, I have a hard time trusting some people due to incidents that happened in the past few years, but lately, I have been thinking of trusting people more and so far its doing well.

I usually trust people naturally, but if they betray me or do anything to offend me, it's very hard for me to forgive them.

I have some issues with trusting... I don't trust anyone in this world completely (except my bro).
And as for trusting only 50%, I have that type of trust for a few. Other than that, I don't trust anybody.
And I also hardly forgive if my trust is broken.

It is harder to trust people online, cause you don't really know for sure if they really are the type of nice person they actually seem...
That's why, in this forum I have about one or two people only who I trust, but not completely trust.

I hardly trust anyone except my family and my "bestest" friend. It's hard to trust anyone in this world of crisis and calamities.

'Someone' once told me I have 'paranoia to the max'. Yeah, I suppose I'd agree with them. XD;
I have major trust issues, especially when it comes to people talking behind my back and such... >___>

I usually can only trust people from first impressions. Otherwise, they're probably not worth it. It's the same for people online. It takes at least a year to gain my trust online.

I don't totally trust anyone, for good reason. I allow a certain degree of trust on the internet but I won't tell anything that personal to anyone on the net even someone who I have 'known' for 5 years.
