I think trust is not only what I would tell other people and expect them to handle that knowledge as I request, but also that I can look at someone in the face and know that they are not telling me secrets or lies. There used to be one person I trusted beyond all doubt. Until one day it came to my attention that even this person has significiantly altered the actual truth. After being hurt by this person who was so close to me, I find myself now taking what people say at face value, and more than I used to thinking about how what they're saying could be something else. I hate that it's made me start second guessing people, but I don't know any other way to cope with the feeling of being vulnerable after I've let my defenses down.
