What exactly is trust? It could be a feeling.... Or a cause and effect kind of thing. Of course, one cannot say that it itself does not exist. Because it can be gained and lost, and it is seen in the actions of us humans as we live our lives. And yet... no one can really grasp the concept of trust. I suppose I will just start out with what I view as trust, and my experiences with it. Perhaps that will lead me to an explanation. I may even have a sudden great realization, just by reviewing and analyzing my past! Oh the joy! I cannot wait! Let me begin.
I have not had the best experience with trust. It has been an excruciatingly painful and difficult road for me, not to mention a confusing one. I have been turned on, backstabbed, kicked while on the ground, you name it. People seem to always break their trust with me. They gain it, and then do something to lose it all.
Now when I was younger (meaning up until about six or so months ago) It did not take much for me to trust someone. If I became friends with someone, after some time, I felt like I could tell them my life story, and it would be safe with them. I learned about teenage humans the hard way. Not many can really be trusted. From my middle school years, I would have many hurtful tests, and learn lessons that would shape me into the untrusting and, fortunately much wiser person who writes this paper. High school would get no better. With crushes came emotional vulnerability. This would be one of my many downfalls. I was hurt the most in this way. I was taught to be a friendly, caring, and loving
