Even if you say you trust someone do you REALLY trust them heart to heart or do you just say "yes I trust you". Just to not hurt their feelings?.

Definitely not, you can't really trust anyone aside from your family of course, even a best friend can back stab you any time, so yeah, it's good if you're completely independent, then you don't have to trust anyone really.
I guess I'll pick both then.

I'll answer my own question:

even though I easly trust people. I just somehow learn to trust my friends. Although those who have stabbed me in the back was inexcusable. Making me not trust them no matter how kind their voice is. It's more posionsous to me than usual.
I trust only the ones I have confident talking with even I don't trust my two older brothers. I count on my own self but, sometimes even I find it hard to trust myself whether I can actually do it or not. Sometimes I tend to regret those whom I trust but, of course that usually depends what mood I am. So I do trust those who never had betrayed me in life.

No. I don't trust people. I may on occasion let my guard down but humans have constantly been letting me down due to their Materialistic tendencies.
Hypocritical, I know.
But I try not to be to Materialistic and or greedy.

In short, I don't trust people, which leads to my paranoia.

I do not trust many people, but I do try to be trustworthy--and part of that is only affirmatively saying "I trust you" when I actually mean it. At times, trusting has been a conscious decision on my part, knowing the risks of being hurt and accepting them anyway. People are fallible; yet for some, having another person show faith in them is what they need to lead them out of the dark.

There are few that I trust, and that trust has been earned through much effort. And I don't tell someone I trust them unless I actually do. Trust is something that I take very seriously. Betray me, and chances are that trust will never be earned back again.

I have a very difficult time trusting people, as most of the people I call my friends end up stabbing me in the back. I have a few friends that display true friend-like behavior, but for the most part, I don't have a lot of people I can trust in my life.

Well, if you're gonna be that cynical. then even your own family can "back stab you any time".

Just because they're related to you doesn't mean there is an automatic function inside them that prevents one relative from breaking the trust of another. I can speak from experience within my own family.

I don't trust people easily, but there are a reasonable number of people that I do trust, and that trust has been built up over the period of years.

It takes a lot to get me to trust you.
That's both good and bad :/
The good thing is that I don't get hurt often, but on the negative side, I have this mentality that everyone wants to hurt me until they prove that they don't.
I kind of think the negatives outweigh the postives...

I trust people easily. It's bad, but it's also good. It's given me the oppurtunity to open a lot of friendships with people really close to me now. There's a select few people I know I can trust with my life, others I trust, but not *that* much.

I've been betrayed before, like I'm sure everyone has, but if we live on that forever than how's it going to get any better? If you don't trust anyone but yourself and your family, (which, btw, can still hurt you) then you're not going to be a very happy person.

I don't really see the point of you replying to that at all, I would have my reasons to everything I say. And also, I think saying I'm being that cynical was unnecessary completely, everyone has their own opinion, and of course I would trust my family since they are literally the most closest to me (and that would go for every family).

I don't trust people easily, but there are a reasonable number of people that I do trust, and that trust has been built up over the period of years.
Good for you. >.>
You may trust those people, but as I said, do you completely trust them, like with your most prized possession? Or even your life? I would think not, but you may... And once again it's just my opinion that you can't completely trust anyone other than your family.

Now, that's not true. Just because you have the same bloodline doesn't mean they can't turn around and stab you in the back just as anyone else can. They're human, they can think for themselves. What about all these stories about kids being beaten by their fathers or their mothers, fathers throwing daughters off of bridges, etc. Is that love? Hell no.

Don't get me wrong, I love my family. They love me. I trust them with my life, I do, but I also trust some of my friends with my life. That doesn't mean that they're going to betray me like *that* does it? I've got one friend IRL whom I've been friends with for nearly 13 years, and he hasn't betrayed me once. I've never betrayed him. There is such a thing as a true friend, you just need to find him/her.
