Trust is a big word and it just depends on the context it is being used as to wether or not it applies to a person, at least for me. Being a first impression gut instinct kind of person I tend to right away know if I want to give a person the time of day. There are also very different levels of trust for me. If I have to do business with them I can usually tell by body language wether I want to trust them with my money or business information. If it is social I can usually tell by sitting back and seeing how they interact with others wether or not I want to spend more time with them and trust them in that context. It takes a really big step to trust someone enough to allow them inside....meaning into my scary little world. And even more to allow someone to get close to my family.

. Everyone I meet gets a certain basic level of trust. Deeper levels are earned with time.

That sums it up for me...well said feastie

Trust is something that is given at a certain level, just as you may trust a friend. Though over time that trust grows with the relationship. Of course then you run into the problem of when the trust is broken, for Me at least that trust can never fully get back to the level it once was.

I am by nature a trusting person. Am thankful though that I seem to be able to feel if I can trust someone right off or not. Some people you know right away you can, some you have to watch and some I know right away I don't want anything to do with them. It is kind of like a vibe thing. And in general has always been pretty good for me, unless I let my emotions get in the way, than I have been hurt. There are some I couldn't read at all and have tried to give them a number of times to prove themselves to me and in the end have been disappointed in them. I like to see the good in people and some I can see it and for some reason unknown to me they just can't find it in themselves to be the true inner person they are, and with my tendencies to be a fixer and a helper I tend to get into deep water there. Now my Master, one who I met here online, is one who has my whole realm of trust and has had it from the beginning, everyday he is always building that trust and I am building his in me.

I am a pretty easy-going person. I trust everyone, marginally, until they have proven me wrong. In a relationship, since the trust was already there to begin with, it grows along with the relationship.

I was told once by a professional that usually it takes 6 months to a year,of course it depends on the person and persons involved but i tend to be to trusting and in my experiences in life since i was told that i now know that 6 months to one year is most certainly a good time frame to decide whether or not you can really trust someone.
