Can you actually trust a fellow human being with your life? A lot of people trust their friends and family even though they can go and turn their back on you at any moment. We see these instances on the news and even in our daily life, so how can you truly leave yourself vulnerable to another human being? Some people believe that no one from their own particular race would ever hurt them even though as I stated earlier that it is shown on television that you see hispanics against hispanics, whites against whites, blacks against blacks, and etc. I'm not asking this question because I feel that I don't trust others I'm asking this to see if we as a people, as a society ever truly trust our neighbors, boss, friends, family, pretty much others. Thank you.

Its most creative question i have ever see on this site till today and you see dear the answer is hidden inside the question and the point you have given at the bottom. Can people truly be trusted that means something you are talking from your experience only than you came up with this idea and i will have the same question to all around the world. You see people can be trusted if you dont examine them. I have deep experience about this and can you imagine the people who are sitting near you and giving you the best of the best advice and talking to you like that they are everything for you and they can do anything for you but in reality when you ask for any help- they have unique way of saying no to you that neither you can think right or left. Friend in way are better than any other relationship and the most you can trust is on your father and mother and thats it. Listen everyone when they want you to listen and do your own

Well, reading your question slowly, it reveals that the source you're getting all your "bad news" about trusting people is from television, whether it be their notorious sensationalizing "news" programs or any other half-hour or hour long or movie or "documentary" nonsense they present. I'm not saying that bad stuff doesn't happen, but if you pay any attention at all to what comes across "the airwaves" as your source of comparison or evaluation, well, you've started out with mentally disturbing junk to begin with. Drop them and just live life, and you'll find trusting people isn't so dangerous. I've been doing it for 55 years, and it's done me very well. As a matter of fact, decades ago when I was beginning to feel a low level of depression, I realized one day that I was reading newspapers and watching "the news" on tv daily, and all it had to talk about was someone getting killed, a house or apartment burning down, some other human tragedy or some supposed financial downturn. And so I realized then and there that I could just quit reading and watching that nonsense and I might actually feel a whole lot better. So I canceled whatever newspapers I got and quit watching "the news"(what a joke), and I truly have felt better ever sense. And I'm healthier and wealthier than I've ever been in my life. God Bless you.

I think you can have some level of trust in your family and some close friends. Always leave room for disappointment though because people are generally selfish. You need to put your real trust in God. However you cannot live your life thinking that you cannot trust anyone then you would develop a phobia. Taking a plane ride or travelling in a car depends on trust. Just live life the best you can and God would take care of all the rest.

That's a great question. Personally, I don't trust anyone, not even my parents. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, it's just my opinion. I think deep down inside people are selfish, they only truly care about the things that will benefit themselves, even if they never openly admit this fact. I would not trust anyone with my life....of course friends and family say they would do what is best for you...but they would never sacrifice their own happiness no matter how close the two of you are! It's just a law of nature....we want to help ourselves first because no one else will! There are certain things I would trust my friends with...but never my life. I felt like I could trust people before...and that only led to disappointment. It would be great if someone would change my mind about this one day.

It really depends how big the trust issue is and how well you know that person/what you've heard about them.
Of course I'm not going to go hang out with someone who will put my life in danger; if they're a huge partier, don't get in the car with them.
I believe if you have a strong friendship with a person, and you've seen their actions over the years to others, you can form a strong trusting bond.

I don't trust anyone fully but God and some family. I spend hours looking online every night to see if anyone wrote anything bad about me. Thus, I don't sleep much and I get very paranoid and do the same thing the next day.
I am told medication can help this. However, I think one should not stick one's head in the sand.

God is the only one we can trust. People will always disappoint us.
