Do you trust anyone in your life?

Trust to me is one of the most important things when it comes to my relationships with people. I am very hesitant to trust people until they show me after a period of time they’re worthy of my trust. Unfortunately there are only a few people in my life that I do trust. I happen to be a pretty private person so that might have something to do with my personality.
 

It depends on what you're trusting someone with. I trust no blood relatives with money because I know better, based on their previous actions. I only completely trust my niece & nephew. Wise people are careful about who they trust. Fools are not.
 

Sorry to say I don't trust hardly anyone and certainly don't share everything about myself or my life. I learned the hard way.
 
Has your ability to trust changed over the years? I know mine has as experience has made me wary as I’ve been burned many times and by people who I should have Been naturally able to trust

Hmm..... Your niece and nephew are adopted? If not, they're surely your blood relatives.

I'm somewhat the opposite
You have my trust
...until you prove otherwise

But, my trust isn't all encompassing.....ever
Hell, I hardly trust myself that much

Here's a general question to anyone. What makes a person trustworthy? And what about yourself makes you feel you are a trustworthy person, and what makes you think anyone else should feel that way about you? Looking in the mirror, kind of.
 
I have a tendency to hold back on people, even friends and family. At my age they want to do what "they think is best! for me.
I guess I`d trust folks if they would run it by me first. I don`t get a lot of that but I`ve had it done to me. If something has a tendency to bit? I don`t stick my hand back in there...😛

A person’s energy. It changes when they are lying.

You're right. I thought a "Blood Relative" had to be someone from the same parents. Looks like a niece & nephew are "2nd Degree Blood Relatives" (if the info on this site is correct). Never too old to learn something, eh?

According to the National Genetics and Genomics Education Centre, blood relatives are classified as first-, second- and third-degree relatives. First-degree blood relatives include parents, siblings and children. First-degree relatives share approximately half of their genes with one another.
Second-degree blood relatives are uncles, aunts, nephews, grandchildren, grandparents and half-siblings. Second-degree blood relatives share approximately 25 percent of their genes with one another. Moreover, in the United States, first cousins, first cousins once removed and first cousins twice removed are considered second-degree blood relatives.
Third-degree blood relatives are great-grandparents or great-grandchildren. Approximately one-eighth of genetic material is shared between third-degree blood relatives. In the United States, second cousins are considered third-degree blood relatives.
