trust?
Trust. It is such a strange concept. You just, believe what someone is saying, or doing. But what are we trusting when it is so easy for someone to just… lie. To what point are we supposed to trust? How much is too much?
When is it paranoia and when are you just getting conned?
There is nothing to stop a person from lying, other than a conscience or some sort of sense of right and wrong. I’ve noticed that not too many people have this. I thought everyone did, given that I have a conscience that won’t allow me to do anything remotely “bad”. Turns out, I’m the exception not the rule. Learning this has made it even harder to trust people. It has always been something I struggled with…and I thought I had conquered it when I finally had put my trust in someone who never broke it… and then they did break it and now… I do trust. Don’t get me wrong, I am still trusting. But now and then there is just this worry that maybe I’m being overly trusting… maybe I’m just being plain stupid. Maybe I’m getting taken advantage of- it wouldn’t be the first time.
I’m going to write it off as paranoia, and resurfacing trust issues that I suppose I’ve never fully addressed.
gg.
