Following on from comments on a thread yesterday I just wanted to share about trust.
Look up Brene Brown Anatomy of Trust - BRAVING.
She breaks the whole concept down.
“Trust is choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else”.
Distrust is “what I have shared with you that is important to me is not safe with you.”
Its a risk, and can feel oh so scary, but it has to be done to live a rich life

Absolutely, and being able to trust is really about trusting yourself, trusting your judgement, and trusting that no matter what happens, you will be ok. |

Indeed, and a great arse as well although I wouldn't trust myself with it. ![](/icons/s/redface.gif) |

I'm very trusting, with an instinctive caution. Generally, if you've earned my trust, you have my trust until you do something to betray that trust. I've been dissapointed, occasionaly, but i like people, so tend to be open and trusting, and take people at face value. |

Could you compartmentalise ? You might trust someone with a secret as they’re good at keeping them , and loyal . But not your emotions . They might be a bit thoughtless sometimes without malice but enough to cause hurt |

Thats probably what DeNiro was talking about in Meet the Fockers - circles of trust ![](/icons/s/confused.gif) |

Wise words. I thought it quite sad that so many agreed with the blanket "trust no-one" advice. Mrs ![](/icons/thumb_up.png) |

There are people I have known all my life that I wouldn't trust with anything and others I have known in just the last few years that I would trust body and soul.
There are others who have chosen to share so much with me but yet I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them because what they shared wasn't theirs to share.
I would trust that anything I might share with them would be shared with others.
Rather than circles of trust I prefer trust bubbles because sometimes circles can overlap. |
