I am wondering what type of person you are. (Generally I am not asking if you are this way 100% of the time, but in most cases)
Are you someone who trusts until you are given a reason not to?
Or someone who doesn't trust until you are given a reason so?
If you would be kind enough please state your faith/lack there of.

I don't trust until I'm given a reason to, in most cases. It's just too difficult to know how people will respond to you if they become that close to you, or know so much about your personal life. Trust is a difficult thing. It takes several baby steps, then perhaps followed by some bigger leaps, until we reach that point where we're perfectly secure in our relationship to allow everything to just flow.

I trust until given a reason not to. I do not like to use the term "Christian" to describe myself. I would rather just say that I am a child of God.

Depends on how I'm feeling and the situational, but usually I don't trust until I'm given a reason too.

I will usually trust until given a reson not to, but I'm a bit strict as to what that reason is. If I see a person acting immature, then more often then not, I shall assume that they will continue to act like that in most circumstances, and thus untrustable.

I tend to trust people who are in a position of trust, on the basis that others have found them trustworthy. Total strangers would be accorded less trust. (I'm an atheist.)

I don't trust until I have a reason to. I've learned the hard way that most people aren't trustworthy.
I'm officially and agnostic, but I have views that could be seen as atheistic or deistic.

Depends on the person and the situation. I'd say though, I do tend to be a trusting person.

I believe it was Lily Tomlin who said "No matter how cynical I am I can't keep up".
In general I do not trust unless given a reason to.
