Is it easy for you to trust virtual friends or are you too suspicious about them?
Are you like that in real life?

No dearest Alice.... Even in real life it is quite difficult for me to trust people. I trust those who have proved to me that are worth my trust.
On Internet, things are even more difficult, because Internet offers many ways for someone to appear as he is ...not! People hide their picture, their name, personal data, women appear like men and v.v, Italians become Brazilians, older people appear as teenagers!!! ... One can tell here whatever one wants. Appear as one would rather be!
Of course, there are many fine and respectable people here, worth out trust, but we must try them, test them and very very carefully start trusting them. Yet, not fully. Nothing is like real life, real contact, real face to face chat.

How the hell can I trust a person who wants to be a friend to a person like me...?!
Er... OK, seriously: I'm a guy who doesn't like to use the net as a shield in order to do/say things in real life I'll never do. Alas, it seems most people act just the opposite. And if I can understand a person who is shy by nature or do have some kind of real problem when relating to other people in real life, I can't justify (I can't really bear) people who consciously act as roughneck or intentionally deceive other people. I had bad experiences with such kind of childish'.
I don't feel being "too suspicious", but when sensitive matters are on, acting cautiously is
advisable.

It really varies from person to person that you meet online. With some, there is an instant connection formed and it is easy to continue down the "trust lane". Once I open my heart to them, it will depend on how they react and interact with what I have t say. Some of my contacts have become very special to me, over the past few months
But I have also met really strange people which I wish I hadn´t started talking to....
I behave in the same way in real life: I have always been aver transparent person...

Of course you can't trust anyone....for example I have introduced to my virtual friends, as a 40 years old married man with 2 children... but in fact, I am 25 years old unmarried, single, handsome...etc..he,he,he ...
OK. I am joking..actually in that program I have done 6 "real" friends (one of them is some places above...) who I respect and trust them and I think I would do the same in real life. You know sometimes you have to trust your instinct...and every time you have the choice of the revision of your decisions.

It depends on the person.From the first moment you can undesrtand if it is a true person or a troll..
Usually, i made good friends in this program, i nam always careful, and sometim,es i am sarcastic with them.But the most precious thing i got from this program, was my friendship with you, because you know that we are like sisters(and collaborators against the trols...hehehe)..
And of course some other precious persons, that for obvious reasons and privacy, i dont want to mention...

My biggest fault is that I am too trusting of people, both in reality and virtual reality. I am honest with others and tell the truth, and so I will hope and assume that they are the same. However as we all have learned, (and sometimes the hard way), people are not always what they seem to be.

I usually trust them .
Well, if I am sure they live far away from me, of course they cannot hurt you.
Also, if you meet friends in Yahoo Answer, of course, those who want to answer questions won't be too bad, right?
Yes, those who eager for answers won't be too bad either!
The people who are bad won't go to Answers! and seek the prey, right?
However, some caution is a must.

Unfortunately, this is my character, I'm a person who trusts and grow fond to all, immediately, and for this in many people was disappointed me ... however, have done so would put the life for the other.. and I trust in all. And I grow fond to all.

It's not easy trusting anyone everyone has a condition on which if met they could turn their back on you and betray you which is why I never show who or how I am if they don't know then there's no one to betray
