    Default Are you trusting?

    Are you a trusting person by nature?

    Is being trusting [or hyper un-trusting] type-related?

    In general, I tend to be trusting. I give others the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. If someone betrays me or deceives me, its very difficult if not impossible to trust them again.

    Not sure how related to socionics type it is. I can see some enneagram correlations, with type 6 and 8 tending to be mistrusting and type 9 tending to be trusting, sometimes to the point of being naive.

    I fit the 9/Trusting mold.

    hard to answer this... I think that from the outside I could appear naive and trusting to a fault. in reality, I consider everybody as human, with faults and issues and self-delusions that make it so that you have to take everything that people say and do with a grain of salt. that doesn't make me see others as anything less though, so I treat all people as if they were the opposite and don't make an issue out of proving them otherwise or rubbing it in their face when the truth comes out.

    I'm cautious. And it depends. Sometimes you know you can trust someone with SOME things, but not others. For example, if you're married to an E-6, you know they'll never cheat on you (well, that's a generalization but you know what I mean). So you trust them with members of the opposite sex. But that doesn't mean you can trust them to remember to put gas in the car or something. You might trust someone with the care of your children but not with your own feelings. I think you just have to know who you can trust, and for what. I don't know that I trust any one person with everything. In fact, I know I don't.

    Not sure if it's type-related or not.

    Superficially trusting, intimately not trusting. I'm generally overly trusting in day-to-day life and assume the best in people. Once that trust has been betrayed, it's gone. Where I think I'll be emotionally vulnerable, I'm not trusting at all, regardless of your reputation.

    “I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.” - Pablo Picasso

    Well said, Mr. Picasso. Well said.
    That's actually why he's a crappy artist, and his work isn't that good. An artist needs to paint as they see, not think. Most people don't do this, so true beauty is hard to find indeed.

    You paint what you think you see, even when you think you are painting what you see.

    Or you paint what you think you should see, in the case of someone paid to paint a portrait of a princess for a possible husband.

    I'm trusting in the sense that it's really easy to get me to go along with something, but internally I'm almost insanely paranoid about what the person is up to.

    I feel that I know what to expect of people. In most cases I default on trust, but I always consider that the trust could be misplaced. I'm rarely surprised when I find that someone couldn't be trusted. When I am surprised, I take that new factor into consideration in similar situations. As I get older, I find it harder to trust people.

    I'm trusting as far as telling people my secrets (which I have very few of since I'm trusting.) I'm not trusting as far as trusting people to do things right.

    There are a few people, like my sister, whom I trust to always keep their promises in everyday life. Things like being home at a certain time, paying back debts on time etc. Intimately I don't think I really trust anyone, I'm actually super paranoid about a lot of things. I'm pretty open about my privacy and can easily tell people some relatively personal things about myself, but I don't trust them to be loyal or "be there for me" or really care the least bit.

    I am too trusting.
    I always assume people are being serious when they say something, so I guess I'm naive. I'm not always good at telling when someone is being sarcastic...because I take what they say at face value.
    And I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.

    Not really. I usually place my trust in people I know I can depend on, so I am a bit discerning when it comes to that. And I learned my lesson the hard way in real life.
