How do you know who to trust? If you've been hurt by others more than once, you may believe that you can't trust anyone. How can you be sure who's trustworthy? Some people trust everyone fully until they've have reason to believe otherwise. Learning who and how to trust is an inside job. It doesn't start by evaluating others, it starts by knowing yourself well enough to trust your instincts. Your own values become the barometer of trust by which you measure other people and circumstances. If you don't trust yourself, then you continually look outward for others to define it for you. Start with defining your values. What do you stand for? What's your definition of respect? Love?
You will meet people in your life who will encourage you to override your values. They will minimize your feelings. They will present a case against everything that is true for you.
Don't trust them.
