How do you know if a person is trustworthy?

How do you know if someone is trustworthy, and you can tell this person whats really inside you and whats going on? How do you know if this person isn’t going to tell?Friends are mainly whom people trust, though how do you know if that is a real friend whom isn’t a back-staber and is trusthworthy?


  • Trust No One

    I know I can not trust myself, though I do the best that I can. Based on that, I know I can not trust anybody else. On our money it says “In God We Trust” and I think this is quite silly. We have no promises from God about our personal security. So I don’t trust God. Paul said, “The God of this world is money”. I guess this is true. People place more trust in money than in anything else.

  • You can't

    There’s no secret test or anything to find out whether a person is trustworthy. Normally you begin to feel it inside when you’re starting to trust someone. Conversation becomes less forced and you don’t think about anything except that person when you are talking to them. It’s kind of like love, you just know when you trust someone.

  • No possible way.

    There is absolutely NO possible way to know if someone is trustworthy. You may know someone for your whole life, and then find out that they are someone who they claim they are not. They can earn your trust, but there’s no way to be sure that they deserve it. Even marriages end because spouses are not trustworthy, and a marriage is supposed to be sacred – “Until death do us part.”

  • Five senses at least come on now.

    Surely we are born to make our own decisions lets face it the five senses touch, smell, sight, taste, audio are but just the beginning of our dominating league in the chain of species, for example do you think the cheetah is gonna fire a few quick fire questions to the lion before stepping on one anothers patch. Time tells a gossip. Time tells a bond, only time will tell if your best friend is perfect and even then when ( like most humans ) your find a defect then who’s to say when too let go. How much do you trust yourself, how much do you think your mother trusted you or When you feel like this do you think they or it want to hurt you?

  • It just happens.

    Most of all you should mainly trust yourself. Also, some times you can come across someone who you KNOW you can trust. If you find someone who you can trust, you will just understand it, and most of the time you won't be mistaken. It doesn't have to be someone you have known for a long time. For example I have a friend who I have known for 3 years, and I know I can trust him, I never doubted it, on the other hand, my mom who I knew all my life, yet I don't fully trust. Sometimes trust grows over time, sometimes it doesn't grow. Sometimes it chust is born without notice.

  • how do I know a person is trustworthy

    With a stranger it could be just a hunch or a feeling for the time, but with acquaintances, family and friends, if I like them or love them, I'll trust them. Without trust there can be no love and without love/like there can be no trust.

    There's a lot i haven't told anyone.

    You don't ned to tell everyone everything, but to trust someone (from my own personal experience with friends and aquaintences) is a risky thing to do

    Instead of actively taking part in a convosation, social event etc. just sit back and watch how your friends act. It doesn't take a person with a degree in psychology or anything liek that to distinguish between a good person and a dodgy person when you sit and watch what people say and do. And it's damned good fun

    That's what i actively do without meaning too anyways, and i find it helps me see who to be weary of and who i can say is genuine.
