Having Trust Issues

Trusting someone whether in a relationship or in every day life is a big challenge. Whether you were deceived many times by trusted friends or left broken hearted in a relationship after giving your all to the other person. Once that line has been crossed many people (including myself) find it hard to trust anyone and seem to always think of the worst before it really happens, so their mind is full of ideas about the person deceiving them and every word becomes over analysed as a proof that the person cannot be trusted. But one thing that someone told me sometime ago and made me think about my stances on trusting people, life itself is a gamble, everyday we make decisions that affect our lives and everyday we take instructions from others whether our teachers, bosses or parents, without thinking. But what tells us that those people can be trusted? With time I learned to put my trust issues away as I realised that life is a gamble and that at one point or another I will have to trust people whether I want a better career or find a partner. A few last words: Open your heart to people but at the same time follow your intuition if you feel that the person cannot be trusted, do not over analyse every word.
