As a few others mentioned, I was more trusting when I was younger. Now, not so much. I rarely let people get close. I keep things at a cordial distance.

@YorkieonmyPillow I'm pretty good at taking folks at face value. That said, trust is earned with me.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Oh, HECK no.

100% earned, with me. Over TIME.

This has nothing to do with being pleasant or sociable or being "friends" with someone. I can, and have, had friends and relatives I didn't trust. There could even be someone I don't much like, but I trust them based on past observed behavior.

On a forum? BT;DT and...no. Just no.

When I first meet new people I don't know I would say I do anything with them that requires a great amount of trust. I just enjoy hanging out with them but they aren't in anyway involved with anything that would require me to trust them.

Once the relationship is more established I would trust they tell me the truth about things until they give me a reason not to. I don't automatically assume people are lying to me.
