    I trust people who have proven they are trustworthy until they prove otherwise. I think its rather sad to be completely untrusting because of what we have gotten thru as a group. I have a couple people, friends, who I trust 100%, I have no reason to mistrust them, they have always been completely straight forward and honest with me, proven themselves great friends. Why should I distrust them, until they give me a reason to do so?

    Well, I've lost trust in people for the most part.

    At one point I would have said my husband but then again, I'm divorced now...so no, I don't trust anyone 100% other than myself and that is even up for debate...lol.

    I can trust certain people about 80% but that is all and there aren't many.

    By trust, do you mean "trust them to act in your best interests? Trust that they wouldn't try to manipulate you into doing something that only benefited them?" If so, then yes, I know several people like that.

    There are many people I trust 90%, and several I trust 95%.

    Right now I only have 1 or perhaps 2 I'd place at 100%. (I'm not one of them)

    I have two people on this Earth that I would trust with absolutely anything, including my life. They have both prooved loyal to me in times of fire. Both still talk to me, and are still JW's. There was one other that I trusted the same amount, but he died a couple of years ago. I am starting to feel this way about some people on this board, but I just don't know them well enough to put them in the same catagory yet.

    Sure...yeah...whatever....lol

    Seriously though, I can't see trusting anyone 100% because a person can't control what another person does or thinks. I can see trusting someone maybe at 90% but more than that I think the person that is trusting is only blinding themselves for potential falls.

    I trust my mother and my daughter. It's funny, but I get along pretty well with my ex and there are certain things that I would trust her over most anybody else.
