Trust
 
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

Gerri Shin November 10th, 2008 1:19 PM

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.

Lover's Kite November 10th, 2008 1:29 PM

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. >_<;;

Vernikova November 10th, 2008 1:34 PM

I try not to trust anyone too much. But after a while, I'll give them more trust than others.

True Reign November 10th, 2008 1:38 PM

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... >_>

Alex November 10th, 2008 2:21 PM

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.

Jorah November 10th, 2008 2:28 PM

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.

Caelus November 10th, 2008 8:05 PM

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.

Azzurra November 10th, 2008 8:33 PM

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.

>Feelings< November 10th, 2008 9:04 PM

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.

♣Gawain♣ November 10th, 2008 11:56 PM

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

Mr. Curling Iron November 11th, 2008 12:00 AM

Unless the person is known for breaking other people's trust... I dont really mind trusting anyone.

Joey the Cockroach November 11th, 2008 2:23 AM

trust? yeah, i do trust quite a few people, but not many. i agree, it is easier to trust people online, but do i trust them fully? well, for some people, yes, but mostly no.

Rockéttes November 11th, 2008 2:38 AM

'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... >___>

ErickaVolt November 11th, 2008 3:51 AM

I had problem in trusting especially my new friends. You can trust your friends by having your friends trust you.

Eon-Rider November 11th, 2008 4:34 AM

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.

Rogue planet November 11th, 2008 8:02 AM

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.

Hawkfish November 11th, 2008 8:51 AM

I trust people with ease. Too much actually. I expect people do on to me which I would unto them. Sadly.. that's not always the case. And I get used.

Legobricks November 11th, 2008 9:51 AM

Trust "problems"?... I don't understand how a personal problem of this type could be so common.

Tell me about it.

The problems of the past few months of my life have revolved around what you said there.

Idiot! November 11th, 2008 8:21 PM

I am usually suspicious about people who aren't my real friends.

Ditto..bleh. Trusting people is easy for me, because they make one or two comments or "me too!"'s to what I like/do/say/etc. and they become "in" in my book. Then randomly their personality is warped in my mind by something they do or say down the road. Siiiigh. So much for perfection, but eh, what'cha gonna do.

txteclipse November 12th, 2008 12:07 AM

I trust people usually depending on their character and how long I've known them. I trust my best friends pretty much completely, as well as my parents.

People online are easier to trust, I suppose, because they can't really hurt you. No one knows who you are, so if something embarrassing leaks out it isn't as harmful. I've told a few people things online I probably wouldn't tell anyone in real life except my closest friends and/or family.
