Re: When do you know you can trust someone?
When you realize deep within you that NO matter what happens, you WILL be fine, you WILL live, that you can handle being hurt and take care of yourself when you are hurt, when you’re not dependent on others to make you feel safe or happy.
That obviously goes without saying that I wouldn’t go out in a lonely, dark alleyway at 2am, because I can handle being raped/molested/mugged/murdered. Being cautious is good. Being neurotic is very, very harmful to your happiness and mental health.
