Don't associate with people you can't trust

I am pleased to say that this one was fairly easy. ( In case you are wondering what I am doing, check it out here)

I don't normally associate with people that I don't trust. In fact, I am pretty blessed with the group of people that I have in my life. And if I feel that some people are not as trustworthy as others, then I don't give too much leeway for being let down by them.

What I have also figured out, is that I tend to be slightly less trustworthy of people until I know them well. I give them the benefit of the doubt but at the same time , am a little paranoid. Not really sure where the paranoia stems from, if it is a recent thing, or if it is something which has been inside me for many years and only now coming out to show itself, but I try to be less paranoid and more trustworthy. And, rather speak my mind that wonder!

Trust is an odd thing, once its broken, it seems to be terribly difficult to get back. I guess, that's where we need to learn to open our hearts to forgiving ourselves and who ever broke our trust, to be more aware the next time and to not let it shut ourselves down until we are completely encased in a heart of stone...!

Do any of you have trust issues? Do you know where it stems from if so?

I take a while to trust people, but then do so unconditionally. So glad I can read you again! Could not get into your blog for a couple of days.

I don't trust easily. I used to, but have been hurt too often. I find especially now, living in a small community, i don't share much with people here, because then everyone knows about it. That is why i blog! But those that I do trust, i do so unconditionally. xx
