We've All Got Trust Issues
All of us, at some point in life at least, have some trust issues. It just varies from individual to individual in terms of how deep they are. But sometimes, I'm still surprised at how mistrusting people can be, even of their friends.
I know you shouldn't believe everything people say or do, because we're humans, and we can lie with amazing skills. But I tend to have trust in my friends. Until they betrayed that trust, that is.
Recently, I found out that among one of my circles of friends, most of them are wary of each other. It's hard to believe, since they act like they're so close with one another. It makes me worry: Do these people trust me, like they led me to believe? Or is it just one big lie? It makes me think if I should trust them. After all, if they can lie with such convincing skill to people they've known longer than me, who knows what they tell me is ever the truth?
But then I think back to myself: Can I honestly say that I trust them completely? No, I can't. If I said that, I would be voicing these thoughts to them, not on here.
So, I guess we just have to give-and-take. I don't trust you all the time, and you don't trust me all the time. All's fair and square... except that life isn't very satisfying that way, is it?
