Yes there is some grey areas of trust issues and paranoia of others.

Trust issue: I can't trust my girl/guy he/she might cheat on me.
Paranoia: I think my room-mate put bleach in my water bottle to poison me.

I don't trust people, never have trust is never a good thing to put in others. Most people are only out for themselves. Then again I have paranoia issues too, that second example is one of my own.


I don't trust even my shadow.
Though is different from your examples. If you asked me if i am certain my girlfriend didn't cheat on me i will say that i am not since as i said i never think that anybody is beyond doing something but i don't suffer from paranoia or obsession.
Just because i am not trusting the other 100% doesn't mean i will follow them or get crazy about it.
Basically i don't trust anyone but i ignore the fact that they can betray me. I simply have no absolute expectations.
So if you asked me whether i trust my roommate not to put bleach on my water bottle then i will say no. If you asked me whether that means that i will be emptying my water bottle and putting fresh water every time it left my sight for 10 minutes then i will say No.

I'm like the guy giving $10 to the bum in the corner. He still knows that the dude is probably gonna waste them buying booze but he gives it to him anyway. The only difference is that he knows what to expect unlike the guy believing that his actually contributing to make that guys life better with his $10.

Optimism in the face of acknowledging a shitty reality. I like it.

I just don't let people get close in the first place by avoiding most people.

Jeez, you could've said that from the start and saved me months of pining and agony!! hidoi Kibura, hidoi~ :(


I can't afford to let anyone close, ever. I cannot be hurt again, I only got one part of me keeping me going left. Last time I put my trust in others, it nearly cost me my life. So I need to keep my emotional pain at the level it is, any more and it breaks the dam. So even if I started to trust someone I would do something on purpose to make them hate me, its better for me and maybe if they are good people them too.

Yes. Why are some people so evil? Then I started doubting everyone. I started thinking that someone will only be nice to me if they can gain something from it (not necessarily money).

I used to easily trust people on any of my secrets as long as they promised not to tell anyone. Now I have a hard time trusting anyone at all. Even someone close to me. Even if they do promise or something, they still always end up telling someone. Sometimes I can't even trust myself.

People would say I do but I don't think I'm that bad. I trust different people with different things. But I think blindly trusting any one person entirely is stupid.

I usually trust most of the people I know, but if someone gives me a reason not to trust them then I won't. It matters on the other person for me I guess, not really "trust issues".

That I do not have. Probably. Some of my actions suggest that I trust easily/assume the best in people, but I'm really just careless.

I used to trust people, but people have let me down. My issues with trust keeps intensifying and I fear it might reach an extreme someday. It gets worse, because I'm usually keen on changes in people. I confront them about it, and instead of honesty, they lie, and in the end it all just hurts worse, and I guess I'm a fool because I go ahead and trust that person even when I feel they're lying.

I'm not too worried if a stranger lies to me. My paranoia about being lied to is mostly on a personal level. Since the last time I was hurt, I've invested a lot more time than usual into learning more about how to tell if someone is lying. I'm currently teetering between staying at that point and going further, doing more in depth research, buying books... maybe even taking lessons about it...

No I don't, but that doesn't mean that I trust people very easily. I have to get to know them for a while and if I feel like I can trust them, then I do.

I feel as if everyone has at least a few, as otherwise you'd be a naive blind fool.

On the other hand, have too many and you're gonna come off as crazy and anti-social.

Yep yep, it's good to find a balance of sorts with people.
I'll usually trust someone until they give me a reason not to, obviously to a lesser extent than say a good friend or partner, but if you're too paranoid and worrying about if you can trust someone, you may miss out on opportunities to make new friends or maybe a partner if you're lucky.

Trust. I don't even trust myself most days.

I guess I have everyday trust. I trust people to do everyday things to a sorta-OK degree with an average amount of trust. Most people fail to meet my standards, especially in the work environment, so I have a set of standards for the useless masses and a set of standards for myself.

My version of trust is wrapping my inner black pessimism in a fluffy blanket of smiles, happiness, and affability.

I'm the opposite. I've always been told by my parents "don't follow some random old man who told you to follow him!" from time to time but it happened again. Or by my friends "don't give money to people like that, she obviously lied about her sickness!" "don't give your number to the guy you just knew online just because he asked!". I'm not that gullible anymore, but compared to you guys, I trust people irl waaaay too easy.
