Raise my hand here.

I think, I hope, I am smart enough to stay away from men until I can regain some type of resemblance to what might be called 'trust'.

Some people never learn and get burned over and over and over again.

I'm NOT one of those people anymore. ( Think I might be alone for a long time? , it's worth it to me because the pain of being hurt isn't worth it)

The consensus seems to be that we all do. I can get on that bandwagon, no problem. The thing is, while I never ignore my trust issues or my gut... I rarely let those feelings take over. Unless I'm starting an involvement with someone who raises red flags, any trust issues I have lay dormant. I give people the benefit of the doubt.. that way I can be pleasantly surprised. If I'm unpleasantly surprised... well... I cut my losses.

Doesn't everyone have trust issues? The key is to be able to overcome the fear(s). Now, some fear is healthy -- like a fear of a "red-flag" that you see. The trick is to make sure that you are not inventing "red-flags" that aren't there, out of fear...I'm working on it, myself.

I put my hand up,i do have trust issues,when everyone you ever trust lets you down,not just boyfriends,but friends,brothers,dad etc,you start to question what you yourself must have done wrong.Its not nice,being scared,but im getting there.

I used to trust what women said but it's not as easy anymore after what has been happening recently. Everything was great, at least they made it seem that way from what they did and said, for months or several weeks after being together. And then suddenly they became a changed person, saying I wasn't the one they were looking for. It was some imagined financial reason or me supposedly not having the same goal in life that I suddenly became worthless to them. They are still looking!

I think everyone has trust issues, its just a matter of degree and magnitude. The most painful thing is that often what a person fears the most, this person creates. So if one believes people are untrustworthy, its almost like this person becomes a magnet for the particular untrustworthy behaviour that they fear. I've seen this happen in my life, with the things I fear the most becoming real in front of my very eyes. Ironic, and I'm sure a irony that others can relate too. The solution? I guess to disentigrate fear and trust issues, self analysis combined with self love and self acceptance (whatever that means) never hurt...although I'd be open to other suggestions as self analysis and self understanding only seems to get me so far, lol.
