Trust

The Riddler

I have been thinking about this for a whil now and spent some time noticing how I interact with a variety of people. What I have come to realise more and more is, fundamentally I just don't trust other people! 

With people I've just met I don't trust they will act appropriately, be kind, considerate, non-selfish, etc, etc. Then with people I do know (and especially since getting diagnosed) I just don't believe they are being honest towards me, not judging me behind my back, and ultimately won't let me down and just turn out to be fake. 

I hate to say it, but even with my partner to some extent. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if she said she'd met someone else because I was too much to deal with! Even though at the moment she says she's not bothered about me being Aspie.

What are other people's thoughts, feelings, experience with Trust. Is it something that comes easily or something you struggle with?

  • I left a massive street facing ground floor window open last night (I don't usually open it, so forgot to check it at bed time).

    Nothing bad happened - proof the world is trustworthy? Thinking

    So here are my bank details: Sort code 123...

    My mother-in-law leaves her house and car unlocked all the time. She lives in deepest darkest Devon. I guess with that sort of thing is luck, or the lack of! A lot of thief’s are opportunists rather than guys who scope out properties for weeks on end that you see in the movies.

    Yeah. I left my car unlocked on my driveway a few months ago and some scrote stole my parking meter money, shop loyalty cards and worst of all my favourite multi-tool.

    My sister-in-law video doorbell thing later caught a couple of teens? in hoodies going down her street testing all the car doors.

    It gives me all sorts of violent vigilante dreams, usually involving a cattle prod and a chainsaw.
