We trust the people we've known for the longest amount of time, but also in that long time have done the least wrong to us. Like a best friend that we've know since we were 4, who has always been there for us. Or our parents who have been in our lives since we were born, they are the ones who support us the most and have been with us the longest, in my own terms I trust my parents more than anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe can trust ourselves to the extent that we are positive we succeed in the task. If we have never attempted whatever it is we have to do then we may be less trusting of ourselves because we have less experience with it.
We tend to trust people who are our close friends or people we have known for a long time. Also we trust people of authority like police, firemen, teachers, etc. We trust these people because their supposed to know what to do when you don't, like in a fire.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daylon in that, we can trust our self as long as we are positive with it.
The people we tend to trust is the people that are most important to us. We also trust people we have know for a long time. I also think that we trust the people who trust us. For me I do not trust people who are unreliable and that are not meaningful in my life. I think we trust ourself unless we have done something wrong or that we have not have fufilled the trust for friends and family.
ReplyDeleteTrust is a very sacred bond between yourself and/or your peers. Trust isn't taken lightly. It is something earned, usually by the people that are closest to you, such as parents, long time friends, and maybe teachers. A person is more likely to trust one of these people because they have a history and they usually want what is best for you. You can also trust yourself. In some respects, trusting you might be harder than trusting a stranger. To trust yourself, you need confidence, and the more of that you have, the more likely you are to trust in yourself and your abilities. Also, if you really trust people that believe in you, the more self trust you will have.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on who you are asking for trust and there are different levels of trust; For example, if someone was going to go do something very dangerous that required team work you will someone to help you who you have known for a while and haven't let you down. However you are sometimes putting trust in people when you do a group projec at school. Going back to the main question, to get to higher levels of trust it repuires time.
ReplyDeleteTrust isn't something that is given to you, it has to be earned. As for whom do we trust and why, that is nearly impossible to answer on a general scale. Every human is different, and our willingness to trust others varies based on our past. Personally, I am very open trusting others who have proved themselves to be authentic. I have been very blessed and the world has given me very few reasons not to be open to trusting others. However, some people are not as fortunate. In Act 1 of Macbeth, we are introduced to three witches who feel a strong hatred towards a man named Macbeth. Later we are introduced to Macbeth's wife, who also seems to have a secret hatred towards Macbeth. When so many people, including your own wife, are out to get you it would be very difficult to trust others. As for trusting yourself, I think that our actions at the darkest times show the who we truly are, and can reveal how much we are able to trust ourselves.
ReplyDeleteTrust is a very important thing to have. Trust does not come overnight either it takes a long time to build. The people we trust are the people who trust us. But, usually we will trust a family member or a close friend. We trust them because we have spent lots of time with them and if we ask them to keep something private they will. As soon as there is any doubt in trust though it is all gone and can be impossible to replace. Trusting ourselves depends on how strong of morals a person has. If we have weak morals then we cant trust ourselves and know we will give into peer pressure easily.
ReplyDeleteThe people that i trust really in my life only is my friends and also family. the reason for this is because normally the other people in your life that you know you don't know that well so you really cant trust them unless you are pretty foolish.I believe that most of the time i ca believe my self because you know what you do or are doing so it is hard not to trust what your doing since you probably condone it. The only way you cant trust yourself is if you don't agree with what your doing then you second guess yourself then it shows that you don't trust yourself.
ReplyDeleteAs a society we trust very few. But of this select groups, we mainly trust the highly educated. Doctors, lawyers politicians and veterinarians. These people are given the societies trust because of the dedication and work ethic need to put themselves in a higher educated position than the rest of the general population. On a personal level I think one gains more knowledge of what decides how to trust but looses the ability to actually trust. Therefore one cannot trust themselves, but can understand why or why not they are being trusted.
ReplyDeletelike Tanner said above, you have to earn trust from people it isnt just given to you. If you meet someone new you don't automaticly have thier turst nor do they have yours. You have to establish a realtionship with that person before you can trust them with your personal thoughts and feelings. To me i think that we can only trust ourselfs as much as we trust others, if you don't trust yourself the odds are you can't trust others.
ReplyDeleteWe trust the people we have known the longest, care about the most, and educated people like our teachers, doctors, and other highly educated people. We trust these people because we have either grown up with them, we have some type of relationship with them, or we know they are capable of great things. I think to trust yourself you just have to know what you are capable of and what you can and cant do.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to trust there are many different ways we trust people and why. For instance we trust our parents because they brought us into this world and we owe them that trust. Another example is friends, we trust them because we know them well. I wouldn't trust anyone i just met for nothing, it has to be earned just like respect. I can trust myself to an extent of making unjustifiable decisions. Once i stop processing things in my mind without thinking of consequences or the outcome then i can lose a little trust in myself.

we trust others that we have known for a while/are bring forced to trust them. We trust our selves when we need to do something that we think we will fail at or not succeed.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to trust people can trust others on many differnt levels. you might trust someone with telling you the right answer and you might trust someone else with something as big as your money. I think that we build trust over time with people and the more we are with them the more we trust them.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult for me to trust some people. I trust close friends and family. I trust them because they have proven themselves trustworthy. They have been their for me and are always willing to help. If you break my trust its hard for them to regain it. They have to show that they are really trustworthy again. I can trust myself for just about everything. I review my thoughts constantly and I see if they are the best possible solution for the situation. I don't make very many bad decisions, so I find myself as trustworthy.
ReplyDeletethere are many diffrent levels of trust to trusting someone very little to someone you trust with everything. it is determined by how much you know someone or how little, but ultimitly its determined by how you get along.
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely not a trusting person. If there is any shard of doubt in my mind about someone, I wont trust them with anything important to me. For example, on school projects, I usually end up doing all the work because I don't trust my partner to complete the project correctly. However, I do trust myself. I'm usually pretty sure that I can solve a problem or complete a task on my own.
ReplyDeleteWe trust people who we feel comfortable with and think we can get mutual respect from and feel like they won't tell other people if it is a secret and who is a good secret keeper. I know that I tend to be a more trusting person than I should and some stuff does get out but in the grand sceme of things I would rather be over trusting than be under trusting. We also give trust to people who need someone who will just listen to them and give them good advice.
ReplyDeleteI trust those who i get to know and if they are worthy than they can be trusted by me but if they are not i do not tell them my secrets like i do with m best friends. Everyone in the world has a different oppinion on this and to the extent he or she want's to trust people. mine is all about additude the person must have respect to get the secret from me they have to prove them selves to me and what i stand for this is how trustful in people i am. I would much rather trustful not overly or underly trustful just trustful.
ReplyDeleteI think that trust is more a thing earned not deserved. for instance if you meet someone, to me they first have to earn your trust before i completely trust them. i will however say i do trust everyone on a certain level from the second i know them. but i wouldn't say trust them with money or my life from that early on. so in that order i would say i trust those who have not only kept my trust, but also people who i have known a log time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a different amount of trust they can have with those whom they interact with. Me personally have a tough time trusting people because of being betrayed. I also think that whether someone is trust worthy or not should depend on their past. You are trustworthy until proven that you aren't. Trusting oneself totally depends on your self confidence and being able to keep a secret. I feel like I can trust myself more then not.
