I was surprised that the majority of people consider trust only like something positive. They can't even assume that trust can be not that positive sometimes.
What about a friend who is trusting you too much and telling you all the details of her last affair? Sometimes you do not want to listen to the person who is trusting you because it becomes too much. You understand that she will never listen to you and does not really care about your opinion. She just uses you because she cant keep her emotions to herself. And what can you do?
Or a man who fell in love with you when you were about to break up. And what are you supposed to do when he tells you: I love you and please do not hurt me. You can't break up because now you feel responsible for him. At least not immediately after those words. Yes, you respect his feelings, but does he respect yours?
Or any person who is getting to comfortable and abuses your relationships. A roommate who goes out of the shower naked? Is not it the sign of trust when people do not afraid you their imperfections?
What is positive about that additional responsibility you never wanted?

Very insightful! I never thought of trust in that sense. But I see it now. In my family I consider myself the "keeper of the secrets" As I end up being trusted with information over the years that would hurt others if I told. That is sort of heavy to carry.
ReplyDeletethanks...yes. exactly, it is heavy to carry. i am ok to listen to the closest friends and relatives, but when completely unknown people share with me their secrets I always want to stop them and tell: "you know, keep your secrets to yourself". sometimes i do so
