It is always possible to trust again

Is it possible to trust again? It could be argued that trusting yourself is more important than trusting others. It may sound strong and contrary to what our parents and teachers have taught us, not without reservations. Well the truth be told, When we are children we trust a lot in the people around us, but life usually makes us distrustfulmany times with reason, other times, without it.

And that’s even more true if we’ve been betrayed, if they have broken our trustwhether due to some relevant fact or if those to whom we had given our trust have simply spoken badly about us behind our backs. In these cases, it becomes difficult to trust again.

We are not obliged to be trusting, We give trust because we feel that it is a value, something beautiful, and for that same reason it is necessary to be alert and know who we give it to. and if he really deserves it. It is important to keep your eyes and ears open and follow the development of a new relationship.

Do you choose to trust again?

Being betrayed is a very hard experience. for anyone. It feels like a personal attack on our honesty and good feelings. Many times, In a situation like this, some people prefer to isolate themselves. It’s more; There are those who become somewhat asocial, and prefer solitude, perhaps for fear of a new betrayal.

But let’s think, How many of those people have we met? And how much of the other, the one that takes our trust and only increases it? Sure, but sure, the latter far surpass the former. So why let the former hit us harder? It’s a bit unfair, both towards others and towards oneself, isn’t it?

This does not mean that we do not feel “the blow”, the thing is what to do next. Will we discard all those who try to interact with us? Will we get defensive with the people who come into our lives later? Will we avoid others indefinitely? What if we miss out on someone wonderful, or a situation that will change us for the better? The risk of taking such an attitude is too much, don’t you think?

It is worth trusting, although the decision must be yours

So once the sadness subsides, because it will be inevitable and we will need to live it, Let us make the effort to “return to the world” to meet again with those who are worth it. But let’s do it with our eyes wide open and with our trust in our hands to give it to those who truly deserve it.

It is true that trust is not free, because it is ours and has been amassed through years of experiences and good relationships. For example, in the family environment, with friends, with colleagues, with our co-workers, with our bosses, with the owner of the store, and even with those who suddenly appear in our lives and who we know will take care of us, who is attentive to our needs, who will lend us a hand if he sees us in difficulties and who will smile if he sees us laughing out loud.

We often see the world as a wide, alien place full of potential danger and suffering. Let’s make it our own and trust again, with open arms, with attentive senses and awake hearts.
