    Is there anyone you trust just as much or more than yourself? Maybe you value your own perspective above others. Perhaps you used to be this way but lost that quality over time.
     
    I trust my mother with my life. We've been through a lot together in my lifetime, and she is very good to me.
     
    Used to trust a lot of people, but as time passes the amount of trustworthy people are shrinking gradually, kinda like the melting glaciers from Arctic and Antarctica.
     
    Depends what the meaning of trust aims to be. If it's something like artistic opinion and constructive criticism in that sense, I can trust people based on their experience to help me when I need advice.
    If it's trusting people like with your life or secrets or whatever, only a chosen few can fill that spot.

    It takes a lot for me to trust someone, and there's only a select few people who have earned it. Not that I don't trust people at all, it just takes me a while to open up.
     

    But trust is the color of a dark seed growing.
    Trust is the color of a heart's blood flowing.
    Trust is the color of a soul's last breath.
    Trust is the color of death.

    /first thing that came to mind

    Trust is a severe liability. It's practically guaranteed that if you confide in someone, they will break that confidance sooner or later...it might take a week, or a month, or maybe even a year, but they WILL break it. That's always been my experience, so I've learned that, if something matters to me, I keep it to myself.

    There are two people I can trust with money and things like that - my father and an acquaintance I've known for years who has long since proved himself in this area, and helped me out financially a couple of times as well - but on a personal level, with secrets etc...no.

    Love the detailed answer, haha.
     
    There isn't really anyone I trust to discuss how I feel with, even my parents but I trust them or at least mum with most other stuff.
     
    do not trust anybody and you shall get far in life

    is what some people might say...
    i don't know

    i trust my boyfriend but thats about it
    lol

     
    I've been told that I am a little too trusting in the past. Maybe I am blind and try to see the best in people haha 8( I will say this though, certain things have happened over the past year or so to make me question who I should trust.

    Yeah. Friendship requires more vigilance than what Pokemon makes things look. Hopefully, you'll learn all the guidelines someday.
     
    There's a lot of people that I do trust. The more I know the person, the more I can determine how much I trust them. My two bestest friends that I know personally, my bestest best friend, and a few members on here, most notably Laguna, Sun, Zappyspiker, Dedenne1, and Jinx, are a few people who I trust with just about anything as they are always honest to me and I've know quite a bit about them just from the way they act. I mostly use how good of a friend a person is and their honesty to determine how much I trust them, and I even sometimes take personality into account on how trustworthy I find someone. I have lost trust with a few people, a few times it has been all my trust of a person, but most of the time I don't usually lose trust in people.

    Thank you so much! I can be brutally honest, but I'm really glad you are okay with me showing my real self. I'm honest when I praise and criticize, people either like it or hate that side of me, but I'm glad you are perfectly okay with it! Thank you so much for trusting me, Mickey. This post really means a lot to me.

    P.S. I know people can be busy at life and stuff, but please please stay active with someone, because of the announcement. (: (Don't reply here about the postscript though haha)
     
    got here a long story you may wanna hear (and I'm not trolling or making up anything)

    > Be me
    > 13 years old, loser AF
    > spend ~11hours a day playing online farming and shooting game
    > met a 11 years olds girl (she also plays those games)
    > ask her to help me get bunches of items
    > ~1 year passed, I said some stupid things about her boy band
    > she said she'll never talk to me again
    > so I left her a message
    > her sister replied "are you her friend?" (she's 2 years older than me)
    > months passed, we became closedfriend
    > she gave me her number and asked for mine. I agreed
    > still don't know why I gave my number to a total stranger back then. But I never regret
    > we became more than closedfriend
    > I went to highschool, she went to college
    > as a medical student, she know a lot of thing, so our chit-chat things goes from A to Z, even the dirties things
    > at this point, I must make thing cleared. I don't like her, and neither does she. We're just pure friend
    > I dated some girls from my school, she dated some guys in college, but no relationship went well
    > When either of us breaks up, we looks for the other
    > she said we will alway be there for each other
    > 6 years has passed since I met her
    > now, I'm in college, second-year (にねん), she's fourth-year (よんねん). we're both single
    > she said she might get married after graduated as her mother implied
    > we might never be able to talk to each other again
    > feel so broken
    > keep asking myself when that day comes, will and can I trust someone again

    at this point I afraid my life will be liked "Love, Rosie" (it's a movie, do some research)

    Oh, hey there dude. Thanks for sharing the story.

    So, let me rephrase what you're saying. You're telling me that this friend of yours is a cherished person that you've known for 6 years has possibly chosen to abandon you by marrying someone, despite saying that she would always be there for you? If that happened to me, I would certainly lose confidence in my abilities to decide who is trustworthy. Are you sure that you're not being too paranoid about the situation? I know a lot of married people that didn't forsake their friends.
