Do you ever feel like you can't trust anybody?

Question

I find it very hard to trust people especially at school. People talk behind others backs and I don't know out of my friends who really likes me or who is just there. I mean I have an idea of who likes me and who is just there.

Answer 1

Yep, I do have trouble trusting people. But only at school. Like you, I can tell who my true friends are, between the ones who are just there to be in a group. I give them one chance for trust, and if they blow it, the blow it, no going back. I tell the people I trust, "I trust you, so don't s***w me over by backstabbing me with my words." Then I go on with my life if they do. But I keep my BIG secrets, to bffs only. Or with my guy friends, if it's something that they can help with. =] I am telling you, guys are the best buds a girl could ever have.

Can anyone help me?

Answer 2

Yes, there are times when I get the feeling that people are fake.  When that happens, you really need to monitor your actions and words.  And allow people to earn your trust.  And be sure to keep people at arms reach.

Good luck.

Ya, I feel that way after 35 years of getting burnt by so many. You just have to put your head up and move on. People you can trust  will come along- they are just rare and hard to find. There is not many honest people around anymore and I think it is because people have strayed from having any belief system  (religion and the bible). All you can do is be careful what you say or do around everyone. That's just the way it is.
