Lost Trust May Never be Regained. Be careful.
Trust is largely an emotional act, based on an anticipation of reliance. It is fragile, and like an eggshell, one slip can shatter it.

Trust takes time to be earned but could be destroyed in split seconds. Be careful about how you conduct yourself.
I remember what happened yesterday when I was waiting for a minibus to convey me to my destination; a police van stopped and offered me a lift, which I outrightly rejected.
I did that because I don't trust the Nigerian Police Force. They are being paid with our taxpayer's money so they would secure lives and properties, but the reverse has regularly been the case. I've heard and witnessed so many awful things that these police officers do. In my own case, they might have a good intention to just help a citizen, but they have already lost the trust of the common on the streets of this country.
I also have this friend who is a habitual liar. It could be that he says the truth sometimes. However, since I have known him for lying, I don't value his words anymore.
If you have ever seen couples who had issues of infidelity in the past, then you'll understand my point better. Suspicion and distrust sets in. Even when a partner doesn't mean harm, the other reads negative meaning into what he or she does...
This is why you have to be careful not to lose someone's trust. be careful with the way you conduct yourself.
Everything you do or say to anyone will be registered in that person's heart. Even when it no longer appears in the person's conscious mind, it is forever active in the subconscious mind. A repeat of similar circumstances from the same person will make the subconscious mind create a mental description what to expect from that person. And when relating to you, the person will be consciously or subconsciously evaluating all you do with that description he or she already has in the mind.
We are all humans, we all have flaws and shortcomings, but be careful not to repeatedly betray someone's trust for you. If it ever gets to the point where someone absolutely distrusts you, I doubt if that trust can ever be regained again.

I can truly relate to this post @ogoowinner.
Trust is like an egg....very fragile and delicate. It should always be handled with care. A single drop or crack, and it can never be the same again.
I've had experiences where i have lost trust and faith in people, due to their actions.
I just keep working on myself and my persona, hoping that i am living and treating people the way i would want them to treat me.
Another lovely piece @ogoowinner. Thanks for sharing.
@ogoowinner Trust is like depositing in someones emotional bank account, once this trust is compromised it takes time to rebuild again but in most cases lost completely.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
Even the devil would never trust the Nigerian police, and allow them to be roaming about without escorts keeping eye on them in hell.
In a way, the people that break your trust are just programming and conditioning you to have less faith in them. If you look at it that way, then they have control over you because your distrust is just a reaction to their behavior.
I'm not saying it's wrong to distrust people. It's a protection mechanism. It is, however, wrong to say that trust is impossible to repair. Trusting someone is as easy as making a decision to do so. It's just that most people aren't aware enough to realize that they can take their trust into their own hands and place it wherever they want to instead of allowing it to be a reaction to another person's behavior.
He he he...
No one does anything in the home again and goes free.. 😂😂
Your stories would forever be told.
Lol! you got the gist.
You are right dear. It is always very difficult to trust again someone who has betrayed it already and that is why we have to thread carefully in our dealings at all times. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Thank you ma'am for this awesome comment.
If a police offered me a lift here I'd enter. I would especially since I'm sure it'd be happening in my dreams :)
Of course, to regain trust you have to work twice as much. Better you do not compromise your trust as rebuilding it takes greater efforts. Gracias.
Hahahahha! Keep waiting for them in your dream o! Thanks for your comment here bro.
Dreams do come true :)
when trust is broken, u destroy ur image not only with the person u dissapointed but it goes beyond that. Like d instance u sited with ur encounter with the police .. Even if they had no bad intentions but with the story u have heard from others, you didn't want to take chances..
Thanks for sharing.
That's it true. A lot of us don't trust the NPF because of the stories we heard even when we haven't had any personal experience with them.
Thanks for your comment.
Rightly said Trust is built on relationships of years not in one day
Every bit of the write-up is true. When someone gives us no reason not to trust them, then we should hold on to that.
we should also be careful about our hurtful words too because they never truly go away after sorry, they stay at the back of our heads or underneath our minds and they resurface when we need them the most.
