When you're surrounded by liars and cheaters, how do you trust anyone?

My stepmom is nothing but a lying cheater, my dad: same.. my real mom, same.. they all lie to everyone about everything (literally, everything).. being around that my whole life has made it hard for me to trust or believe anything anyone says. I always feel like everyone has a hidden agenda.. I try to think ‘’not everyone is like that’’ but I can’t help it… it’s so draining.

Answer #1

u trust someone who is far away from you. no matter what you tell them its not like they know anybody else around you they cant possibly do damage. And with the internet its now possible to find such a person.

Answer #2

I never trust anybody. only God. Not even my best friend. because in one second bam theyd give u up for anything and anyone. your parents, well i doubt theyre gonna break some promise to u if it meant ur life. but some people are just born and raised to lie and cheat their way through life. sometimes thats how u make it out there. thats how some people are. so just learn to accept that thats how they are, and make sure u can see clearly who would give u up, who would lie to you, and who cheat just to get their own way. this way you can warn yourself and let yourself know thats how they are before you go around trusting them with anything.

Answer #3

You learn. There will always be people who lie, you have to find the one who isnt like them, the one who makes you want to believe again.

I have a standard, if they dont live up to it, i dont trust them, easy as that. Very little people get there & well in its own way, thats a good thing :)

Answer #4

I hear that…I know what you mean…have one of those as well…if it is not lies then some conspiracy issue going on…I really know what you mean!

The best advice I can give you is to take a deep breath, and ask yourself this question… “Can I go on believing that this world is so full of liars & untrustworthy people that I am just going to decide to trust no one…?!”

From personal experience, it doesnt work…not all people are liars…look at me…only truth from these finger tips…for better or worse…if you have read my stuff then you know…it dont get more direct & straight up as I call em! So, perhaps, just perhaps there may be a few more like me…ok, a lot more like me…:)

Long story short…you have to go with your gut instinct here…If you feel someone is lying…and you doubts…its possible that you are right…but then question why you feel that way…what the facts were that lead you up to that conclusion & base your decision only based on those facts!

Remember my dear…only you call the shots in your life…i learned that thanks to many special people they know whom they are…for they helped me a lot by opening a new perspective to how i see things…more like saw things vs seeing things now…:P

Answer #7

when you are surrounded by liers and cheater’s its very hard to trust peopel.. i have the biggest trust issues because of these two reasons, you just need to either talk to some one you think you may be able to trust or find one person you know you can trust , keep your chin up and never think negative.

Answer #8

Answer #9

I have stopped trusting people in this way i will be safe for ever…

Answer #10

Yes, but without trust, you can never love.. that sounds so lonely.

Answer #11

Are you like that? Because if you are, then you’re never going to be able to trust other people. And if you’re not, then what makes you think you’re unique? If you’re honest, it means that there are other honest people in the world. And then you trust your gut. Because you’re surrounded by liars and cheats, you are better equipped to spot others lying and cheating. I am terrible at this. I can usually spot when something is off, but my mind never jumps to the person’s intent being bad. But try to remember, that not everyone is lying for a bad cause. Lying can be done with good intentions. This is going to take time. It’s going to be a slow process. So allow yourself the time to begin to trust slowly. And when you do feel like you trust someone, and you get scared. This would be the time to not just listen to your emotions but involve your rational brain. Are you freaking out because it is scary to allow another person close (i.e. past events), or are you freaking out now because something the person is doing now is sending up warning flares. It’s difficult to know, but you can do it. Just give yourself a little time. And know that it is scary and anxiety provoking at first. But it will not feel as bad later on.

Answer #12

Youll get what u seek just dont ever give up hope trust ur heart and go in blind Then come out fighting.For if we worry too moch about Love it”ll pass us by!P.S. sorry to all my X’s here in Texas fyi!
