How about trusting some of the people some of the time? :)
I have a hard time with trust, too. But I can trust people who have earned my trust, in the areas they've earned my trust.
For example, I trust my husband to honor the commitment of our marriage and not to divorce me and not to have an affair and to fulfill his responsibilities to the best of his ability. I don't trust him to have a steady temper or trust him with my vulnerable emotions.
I trust my therapist implicitly in some ways but not in others.
I don't think anyone in the world is completely trustworthy. But I think lots of people are trustworthy in certain areas. If only to be unpleasant consistently. :)
