Trust
As I said on another thread, my maxim is never to trust anyone unless I have good reason to do so.Social media seems to get so many people into one heck of a lot of trouble. I have mentioned before that I was stupid enough to be taken in by someone's sob story related on a forum on which I used to post in the late 90s. I sent her the equivalent of £1000 in US dollars, before I discovered she was a con artist. I have also met posters in reality with whom I have become friendly on forums, but with one exception in reality they were nothing like the way they had presented themselves on it. I have become very sceptical of people's sob stories, especially when the stories they tell don't add up. Not naming any names of course, as I admit I could be very wrong, but there is one poster on this forum whom I don't buy.
Are other posters like me not trusting anyone unless they have reason to do so, or too trusting?

Re: Trust
I'm afraid I'm the exact opposite TaraI trust everyone unless they give me reason not to
And I consider that a lesson learned about that one person not life in general.
One thing I do get..only very occasionally.. in real life, is bad vibes from certain individuals. Then i steer clear!

Re: Trust
I tend not to get too close to people these days .I trust my children and some very dear friends.
I certainly would not send money to anyone on a forum .
Might as well send it to Nigeria direct!
However Tara you thought you were doing a good thing and there is no shame in that .
