I’ve been reflecting on relationships - friends, colleagues, even family - and I’m starting to feel like trust is something you have to be extremely careful with. People can change, or let you down, or act in ways you never expected, no matter how close you are.
AIBU to think it’s safer to rely on yourself and keep your guard up rather than putting full trust in others? Or is that too cynical and trust is something you just have to risk for meaningful connections?
