Do you do what you say you are going to do? Are you honest? Do you expect the same out of others?

I am honest most of the time.. i don't think anyone is 100%
sometimes simple white lies i may end up saying if i feel this is best to protect someone either from hurting their feeling or some other reason
but nothing serious

I am trying to do as much as i can what i say
that is why i dont say big words that i can not keep that is the best someone can do

and yes i expect the same from others

It's a curious question. Probably better answered by a third party. The untrustworthy among us are going to give the same answer as the trustworthy.

Myself, I can be trusted to have all of the weaknesses that are driven by instinct. The trick is to recognise and manage them.

I feel I can be trusted purely by thinking about what other people have to say. As for would I expect others to be? Well it'd be nice.

After being shown otherwise all my life I still expect to be able to believe people. I loaned a lot of money when I was younger I never got re-paid. I no longer loan money. I will just give it to someone because it seems to be the same thing eventually anyway.

I always try to do what I say I am going to do. However, I am quite forgetful so some things don't get done by accident. I am honest for the most part. I appreciate it when people are the same.

Very much so. There are very few people in this world that I trust full and completely. When you find someone like that, it's a special thing...I try not to ever let go of those people. ;)

I consider myself trustworthy. I never spill the beans when it's not my business to tell (unless I am talking to someone who I know will not breathe a word or I have someones permission to share with one of my trusted friends). If you tell me gossip though, I will admit I find that difficult to refrain from passing on. Gossip however, is usually trivial and worthless. If someone specifically confides in me and makes me swear not to tell anyone, I will take that secret to my grave.

I got screwed over a lot when I was younger, I learned from these mistakes and now I find it hard to trust people until I know them well. I have my wits about me most of the time.

Trustworthy, to a point. If you're a friend then I won't repeat your secrets and I'll always do what I say I'm going to.


But in all honesty, if there's any animosity between us then I feel far less responsibility towards keeping a semblance of trust. If I don't like you, why would I give a fuck about your secrets?


I trust other people on a general level. I try to remember that everyone lies. Some people significantly more than others. I'm not going to say 'oh I totally know when I'm being lied to' though because hey, some people are very good at that kind of thing, so I don't believe you can always tell.


I don't think it's the worst thing ever to be taken in either - if you put your trust in someone and they lie to you, manipulate you and make an effort to conceal the truth from you, it says more about them and the work they put into being dishonest than it does you. It'd be difficult to get by if you never trust anyone, and the unfortunate fallout of that is occasionally getting involved with someone who doesn't deserve your faith. Hopefully, you find out before you get in too deep. That's about the best you can hope for.

So if you have a falling out with someone, then the secrets they shared when you thought you were friends is fair game to publicize?

No haha :) I'm not the sort of person to publicise stuff anyway. But I wouldn't feel so beholden to keeping promises or arrangements.

I try to be as trustworthy as I possibly can, but my beloved can tell you that I fall short sometimes. LOL ... okay, pretty often.
It's why I chose my nickname. At school my coworkers and students know that if they tell me something in confidence they can trust that I will keep their confidence if I legally can (I explain the legalities to the student if I think I need to). The students also know they can trust me to bust their ass (figuratively speaking) if they screw up. That part's not easy because I'm quite the softy.

But like Kakapo says, only the other person can tell you if I'm really trustworthy.

Being a trustworthy person means you are someone that the people around you be it familiar faces or strangers believe to be someone they can put all their trust on and expect to see the best and truthful out come from the trust and believe they have in you and not someone that expects the same kind of treatment from others.
