Thanks for your comment Ed. There are two schools of thought that go with this relationship situation. One is, that we as humans should trust blindly first until the trust is broken. Others come from the school of thought that trust is earned. I find that people juggle both points of view every day. The Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and treat others as you wish to be treated lend them self to the trust all until that trust is broken idea. However, this does not negate the fact that trust is something you want and should earn. It gives you respectability, credibility and it shows good character. It is taking responsibility for who you are and living up to your own standards. By living through your convictions (earning trust and gaining respect), you become trustworthy in the eyes of those who recognize your actions. For those who have just met you, it should be expected that they don't know you and wont trust you until they get to know you. Your actions will prove you. If they are the type that trust you first, before they know you, that is fine for them, but should not change who you are and your endeavor to earn trust regardless of how the other person sees you. It's all only a reflection on you. Trust, respect, credibility, all of it is earned. Thanks for your comment Ed.

You're not quite sure of which to listen to. If I KNOW someone can't be trusted then I won't test them. But the fact is we've all gotten people wrong before. It's best to try to trust people and get hurt rather than distrust someone and hurt them. In response to the reply to Aynjell’s comment,

Out of nowhere she started to message me again after what was probably two years. But it didn't go anyway, and it never will, I'm content with that. I aced the human relations class, btw. Who's web site is this, and why is my post from NAO on it? I remember her. Out of nowhere she started to message me again after what was probably two years.
