There are many different things that can affect the overall stability of any relationship, whether it be a serious commitment or even a mere bond between friends.
Most people put emphasis on the presence of love; in fact, being able to love and be loved is a very important characteristic to have when trying to maintain a healthy balance of empathy, attention and communication. However, deeply rooted in love is the concept of trust that is often taken for granted and sometimes hard to understand for those of us who, believe it or not, do not know what it is or how destructive its absence can be.
Nonetheless, we make decisions every single day about who to trust with certain parts of our lives, even when we’re not sure about what exactly makes someone or something “trustworthy.”
And to be completely honest, there really isn’t anything in particular that can assure you that it’s OK to trust. Sometimes, you might feel like you can trust someone because theyseemresponsible and have a legitimate reputation, but they still fall short of your expectations in the end.
So, how do you learn how to trust?
It simply comes down to taking a risk — a risk that could turn out to be the best decision you’ve ever made, or leave you heartbroken with nothing but regret and disappointment. But regardless of the outcome, you should always be aware of how much trust you put into ANYTHING at ANY given time.
Never make yourself too vulnerable to the point where, in the worst case scenario, you’re completely helpless and there’s nothing you can do to benefit from the situation.
If the person you’re trusting discovers how physically and emotionally dependent you are on the success of the situation, they will most likely take full advantage of you in an attempt to maximize on their own rewards. It’s just human nature, and the unwritten rule of thumb goes without saying:“the fittest of the fittest shall prosper.”
This doesn’t mean that you should live your life always feeling paranoid about trusting other people, because it’s almostimpossibleto go through life depending solely on yourself.
When you can accept the fact that you will make mistakes, it will be easier to learn from them and make better choices in the future.You will begin to see patterns in how people react under various circumstances, which will allow you to compare and contrast any previous experiences you’ve had and their respective outcomes. Unless you’re the most unlucky person in the world, you will have quite a few memories to look back on as you meet more and more people and progress through life.
Always remember:
Whenever you feel like you have to“second guess”yourself or a situation seems“too good to be true,”that’s the universe trying to tell you that you might want totake a little more time to think about the decision you’re about to make before you invest yourself.
