False and true. Both are correct depending on the person. Some one who trusts least might be most trusted because they would themselves not even be capable of the actions which warrant their mistrust. On the other hand, one who is to trust least might act on that which they would mistrust someone for simply because they know they can because the person whose rust is in question by them would never accuse them, or they justify their wrong action by thinking it is their right to take such actions they see as wrong because of some past wrongdoing to them.

It can be said, however, that the most trustworthy are those who trust most.

My girlfriend and I are going though a real example of this issue right now as her parents are getting divorced because her mom accuses her dad of cheating. There are also variables in her past which make it hard for to trust people. I am a completely devoted person to her, but she still has a bit of trust anxiety with me.

False. Those who trust least know what it's like to have trust broken and don't want that on others.

Looks like u were not trusted at all or something, so u stopped trusting others??
U know this proverb--- once bitten twice careful???
you are just being careful,O.K.
I was there and the feeling is not very good, but I found out why I was afraid of trusting was coz I was always at the receiving end so I was afraid of being hurt. But when I decided to live a selfless life I overcame that fear. That was my principle and it helped me. So I would say its neither true nor false as this can be overcome.

False Those who trust least realize that a certain percentage of the population in any society are not trust worthy. Because of this in certain businesses it is necessary to assume every body is untrustworthy and devise a system that can deal with the entire population including the untrustworthy part with minimum losses and damage. A good example of this is a gambling casino. Look how many different people count the money and sign verification papers before money or chips is moved from one location to another. A bank is another example. I do not assume that the bank teller is likely to be untrustworthy just because he or she recounts my money and verifies my deposit slip when I make a deposit in the bank. Nor to I think the owners of the bank are untrustworthy because they instructed the supervisors at the bank to have my deposit money recounted before issuing me a deposit receipt.

False. Those who can be trusted usually do not trust. The reason they are trust worthy is because they do not trust anyone with anything, so it is safe to assume they will keep your trust to themselves.

False. I dont trust anybody who trusts readily without examination of facts and evidence. . For me that is the ultimate show of laziness. Lazy to even think for themselves.

I trust those with a healthy degree of skepticism. You know that the store will not get robbed, the flag in the military compound will still be there, nor the baby will disappear from its cradle while on his watch. (figure of speech)

True.
A person who doesn't trust anyone is not a person to be trusted.

thats true my friend. people that have trust issues first do not trust them selves. for whatever reason they have not first learned to be secure within themselves. its the same for love, if you cant properly love yourself how can you love someone else.
