You're right about trust being earned. Some people have abused trust given to them which makes it harder for others to give out their trust easily. Once you break my trust, it's over.Trust is earned. However, it's hard to gain trust with some people because you might promise things and then things screw up. Well, there are people who can't take no for an answer. In that case, you might promise them the moon to get them to go away, but the price is trust.
I think that's being a bit too harsh. In many situations, people are just human, and they make mistakes. Some are blatantly terrible, and others are just people having things they wanted people to trust in screw up.You're right about trust being earned.

I agree that it's a weakness to trust people because of the experience I have had with most of them. The one's who are yet to break their trust with me have me doubting them because of what others have done.I trust people fairly easily. It's actually a weakness, though.
