These days we really have to be specific on what we mean when we talk about "trust". When I trust some one I trust them in many ways. I trust them to be there for me. To protect me as a friend or a lover or maybe even both. I trust them to never lie and to be loyal to me, as I would them. I trust them to stand up for/with me when the time comes, but on the other hand they should tell me if I am in the wrong. Attempt to show/tell me why so I can get on the right path, as I would for them. Trust is in many places. The amount of trust for each thing or task can vary....but all in all to have any trust at all is an absolute privilege! It must be earned.
If I meet a stranger they usually assume I am going to be friends right away or if it's another man they assume I'll let them kiss me or other things right away. But that is far from the case. You must show me that I CAN trust you with any bit of my vulnerability.
Yah maybe I have trust issues. But you know what, in the world we live in....how can you not?
