Trust
Is the firm belief, confidence, or reliance in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.
I have written before about having trust issues in most of my relationships and friendships. For the past 11 months, I've been talking to someone from TIKTok, and the experience has had me question the whole thing.
I really don't trust online relationships due to my experience with a 12-year booty call.
I took a chance on this person, and let's just say I should have kept to myself.
My grandma used to tell us that trust is like respect; it is earned, not given.
Throughout this whole thing, my intuition was warning me that something wasn't quite right, but being the person I am, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, being comfortable enough to ask for help from someone you never met has rubbed me the wrong way from the start.
Then, further in the experience, because this for me has never been a relationship, I found out he lied to me about how old he was and gave me the wrong birthday for him. I was already questioning a lot of things about this, but now my trust is on high alert.
I have never lied to this person for the simple fact that what would I get out of lying?
My trust in this whole situation has been totally lost because I am too old for the games and lies I have been scammed by folks online more than once, and to once again feel this way is so not cool.
I can't live on broken promises or words with no meaning.
Trust is something that all relationships are supposed to be built on, and for me, when that trust is broken or was never true from the beginning, it's time for me to exit the building.
I'm tired of being sold lies and untruths for the sake of being used!!
I'm a good woman with a lot to do, and I refuse to let my trust be played with or for people to believe it's alright to tell half-truths or just outright lie.
Trust is the foundation of relationships and allows individuals or groups to navigate uncertainty and take risks.
I'm tired of taking risks with trusting others; my feelings are valid, and I refuse to keep sacrificing my feelings
In other words if I can't trust you leave me alone!!
