I'll tell her to add ~ next to her sentences to signify they're a joke for those who struggle with humor.
honestly tho, i don't even trust my family or friends truly.. i only truly trust my self.. the next level of my trust goes to those people whom i feel i understand their nature, and outlook on reality completely, and thus they are predictable. if i think someone is truly predictable, or if i feel that what i'm trusting them with is of low value compared to their overall relative value, then that too.. obviously a millionaire isn't going to care to hassle stealing 10k from me, things like that
but.. yeah, the human mind is pretty hard to predict, the only thing that's certain is that each one of us is instinctively looking out for themselves, even if rationally they have decided to care for others. you could argue family can make you predictable, but i'd argue love doesn't exist, the IDEA of family is a rational idea that doesn't exist instinctively, and i'd even go further to argue that... most humans around us are very much our brothers and sisters. None of us are very far from each other genetically.
it does seem, though, that the ego has very large influence on instinct responses, so i make it a part of my life strategy to raise the ego of anyone i come into contact with, and thus everyone i know likes me, and i have pretty much zero enemies in real life. some call it naive to see the best in people, but truly.. when you let people see you see the best in them, they will ALWAYS like you, and they will cheer for you as you go through life, and support you just as you will support them. if love exists, that's what it is... the self reciprocation of kindness.. give kindness, get it, so on. people who think of themselves as "masculine" or "hard".. they are just playing a cultural attitude, and actually it leads to them being distrusted... the most toughest of our society are actually playing a really stupid game if you ask me.. i'm looking at you whoAmI, though i do like your bike ;)
when we let go of ego, when we stop letting it get in the way of achieving our goals, then we can be effective, and we can use human social relationships to our advantage
"Do you trust them with information?"
Hmm... not really. I can list the ones I've tested who haven't betrayed my confidence (not that I'm aware of anyway.)
Ed can keep secrets for people he doesn't dislike (which includes me, I think.)
Cain and I have had a few personal-ish talks.
I've trusted angee and sugargirl with my secret sock puppet identities XD
I've shared pics with a few who didn't betray me. I'm not telling who they are :P
That's all I can really think of. I don't really reveal much of myself on the internet. My secrets are my own. I don't share with anybody. Not since I was too young and stupid to know better. That shit always ends in disaster.
I guess luna is the most trustworthy person here bc she's bound by legalese to keep our IP, email and other personal info that could be found out from this info to herself.
"Would you trust them in a major life event?"
No. I would meet most of the people here for coffee and trust that they wouldn't get me arrested, as long as we're in a well lit and crowded place. But there aren't many I would turn my back on. Forget about being naked or sleeping without a locked door or 2 between us.
Maybe Tryp, but only bc he drinks so much and he's skinny enough that I could toss his scrawny bleary eyed ass out the door if he tried to start smthg XD
