I realize I have major trust issues and I’m always afraid even on meds that those close to me will turn on me without warning. Strangers stand a better chance at earning my unbridled trust.

I had less trust of strangers during my prodromal period. Was thinking I would be randomly sniped walking around outside.

I’ve always trusted people straight up.
I give them the benefit of the doubt…that is until they screw me over. Then I simply delete them from my life.

I don’t have anyone that I can trust in my life either.

I have no trust for new people.
Honestly I struggle with the people in my life already like family, so there is no room for anything or anyone else.
My trust has been severely misplaced in the past, so I am very hesitant to engage other people at all.

@Joker I get that. I don’t trust new people either. It’s hard to put trust into family and friends and be disappointed - it’s exhausting. Not enough left for anyone else.
I feel there would be people here I could trust, as I have seen what they post, and I like to think we all have a bit of a connection - at least online.
Hard to say though.
The anonymity of the site i feel makes people be really honest and I like that

That’s what I like about it too. I fee that there are no pretenses and we can just be ourselves without judgement. I have to censor my life or feel I should around everyone else. Here I can talk about my illness openly and feel accepted. Even if we all haven’t met.
If I blurt random crap out it’s because I feel socially stifled at home. Lol 
Here I feel free.

I struggle with trust issues too. I can talk and hang out without trust though, so I have friends. But it takes a long time before I trust someone

I consider myself a trustworthy person. Also, I value what others feel. So if someone said they didn’t trust me; I would be deeply hurt and remorseful for whatever caused them mistrust in me. I don’t do things to cause people not to trust me though; at least I’m not aware that I do anything. I am just me. I try to treat everyone with kindness & honesty.

In general, because normal, reasonable people are able to trust people’s goodness a little bit, you can conclude that part of our mistrust is due to our brain

I don’t trust many of my husband’s family, especially his mother. They probably don’t like me because I’m mentally ill and unsuitable for their son/brother. I don’t know but that’s how I feel. My mother in law wants to get rid of me in future.

I tend to believe or I pretend to believe easily what other people tell me but they regularly deny themselves. now I have a good accuracy in identifying toxic personalities and I do not take the hook
