Trust

I admit I have trust issues....but its not really an issue I was born with, I'll explain. I am naturally a very trusting person. I try my hardest to see the good in people and walk into a situation thinking that people will at least try to be reasonable and trust worthy. Some would say thats a very rosy view of the world...yes...but its the view I choose to have.

So with that being said one might think "What issue does he have" the issue comes into play when my trust is violated. Having a rosy view of the world is easy when folks are honest....but when their not or they do something to hurt you then that rosy model just simply breaks down. Quick!

When people hurt me its be hardest thing every...mainly because I walked into the situation blindly trusting you. I think the blind trust is the flaw. As an adult I know that trust is hard to establish, slow to develop and slow to grow back once hurt. I like to use the analogy of a really bad cut. Once cut, it scabs over quickly but only fully heals for a long period of time. And often times there are scares.

However with all that being said...trust is a really beautiful thing. Once established...even to a limited degree, it helps people make it through the most difficult situations.
