What makes you not trust people?

Question

Is there a group of people that you don't trust?
A certain way a person looks to make them untrustworthy?

Have you ever been judged untrustworthy for no reason?

If you are rich and another person is poor do you think the poor guy will steal from you?

Answer 1

I trusted each and everyone in life, for the same reason I am facing miserable life.Everyone misused my trust and cheated me.
They used my goodness as weakness.
Sometimes I feel like taking revenge on these people.

Answer 2

Definately experience with people how to filter out the trustworthy and untrustworthy.
Too many bad experiences cause people not to trust. Sometimes even not trusting anyone at all.
Once trust is lost with a person it is rarely gained back and if it is it is never the same.
People that can not look you in the eye when speaking are usually hiding something. However there are the few that can look you in the eye and still be lying. Those are the worst. You have to examine thier attitude, personality, and actions. Even testing them before putting your trust in them.
Never trust a drug user. You'd have to be a complete idiot to.
It doesn't matter how much money a person has either. Some of the richest people on earth have lied to get that way.
I have had my share of not being trusted. Sometimes due to a bad decision and other times for no reason at all.
In fact my husband had a hard time trusting me early in our relationship because his X girlfriend cheated on him so badly.
Even though I assured him that; "I was not her". I still had to gain his trust through time.

Answer 3

The ole fool me once, fool me twice thing.

I offer the chance for anybody to prove they can be trusted. They are either going to come up positive or negative.

I subscribe to the belief that you compress your own personal growth by stereotyping any particular 'group' of people. There will always be a melting pot within any group - some trustworthy and some not. It's a waist to deny yourself of a possible opportunity or relationship by tagging or labeling a group.

Most people are victim to being judged unfairly. Not everybody is competent enough in their own skin to assess the integrity of others. People who are disgruntled, unhappy or flat out pissed off have a tendency to try to drag others down or into their own world. Misery loves company right?

As far as the poor rippin off the rich, the same philosophy applies. There are people with integrity and people without. Those who believe that they are or will be accountable for the way they live their life will practice it as such.

Thanks for lettin me unload.

Answer 4

There is a certain look to some people that I find makes me untrusting and it's not an ethnic thing or anything but more of a gut thing. I'm usually pretty good at picking them but don't hold to my judgement if it seems I am wrong. Observation is the best way to find out, see how they are with others and if you do put your trust in someone, it doesn't take very long to find out if you were wrong.

Answer 5

if you are poor and another person is rich do you think the rich guy will steal from you? how do you think he got rich?Most people are rip offs, and we are exposed to the biggest rip off all of the time in the media, all the politicians are lieing cheating and stealing, corruption is rampant throughout all levels of government. Police officers are being convicted of graft,murder, burgulary. Husbands are cheating on the wives who are cheating on the husbands and on and on and on. It is the way the world is, it is a playground, have fun

Answer 6

It is people' actions and the way they talk that make people dont trust them.

And seriously, it doesnt mean that one poor will steal from the rich. Poor also do have their dignity and most importantly, they are humans as well isnt it.

Answer 7

Past experiences make me not trust most people. I just don't trust everyone, you have to prove to me that I can trust you.

And the answer to your last question, yes.

Answer 8

I typically don't trust anyone until they have acted in a way that is trustworthy. I know, I'm really jaded. Looks/wealth don't factor into that decision.

Answer 9

I always go with my reaction when I first meet them. there are some people that just make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It usually works.

Answer 10

Someone who makes me talk in general is not a trustworthy person and I do not trust chatty people.
