Hello my friend. How is it going
How is your Sunday?
Do You Trust a Lot of People?. This is a question that really gets you thinking. It may sound simple, but it can actually reveal a lot about someone’s personality and life experience.
Some people are naturally open. They trust easily, give people the benefit of the doubt, and believe that most people are good at heart. And honestly, that’s a beautiful way to live but it doesn’t always work out so well. Then there are others who’ve been hurt before. Maybe they’ve had close friends betray them, or they've been taken advantage of, so now they’re extra cautious. They only trust a few, and the rest? Well, they keep them at a distance.
Somewhere in between.
I’ve had people in my life who proved to be trustworthy the kind of friends you can call at 2 a.m., or talk to when life feels too heavy. But I’ve also met people who smiled to my face and gossiped behind my back. People who disappeared when things got tough. So with time, I’ve learned to be more selective.
But here’s the thing we all need trust to survive. We trust the driver in the car next to us to stay in their lane. We trust the barista to make our coffee without poison in it (ha!). We trust friends to keep our secrets, partners to be faithful, and coworkers to do their jobs. Life simply doesn’t work without some level of trust.
That said, I don’t believe we should just trust everyone blindly. That’s not kindness that’s being naïve. Trust should be earned, not handed out like free samples at a supermarket. You can still be polite, respectful, and warm without giving people access to your personal life until they’ve shown they deserve it.
There’s also an important difference between being kind and being gullible. Kindness is a strength. But being gullible can get you hurt, used, or manipulated. So yes, be kind, but protect your energy too. Pay attention to people’s actions, not just their words.
Over time, I’ve realized that it’s not about the number of people you trust it’s about the quality. You don’t need a hundred friends. You just need a few who are genuine, loyal, and show up when it matters. Those are the ones worth trusting.
So, do I trust a lot of people?
No, not really. But the ones I do trust I trust them deeply. And that feels enough.Would you trust many people if you could start over, or do you prefer keeping your circle small? Let me know your thoughts in the comments
I’d love to hear from you.
