RE: Trust: The Foundation of All Relationships
Oddly enough, I am in the middle of completing some required training as a youth coach, and watching videos about how creeps groom their victims. Ugh. But I think this is exactly what you mean. The conman uses his knowledge of how relationships work to establish trust. Well, I am glad it worked out much better for you! As we mature and become smarter as result of experience, perhaps it simply becomes a more sophisticated trust. Thinking out loud now -- I really don't know about that. It seems like we really do just have to keep trusting, but maybe just have a keener sense of warning signs (?)
Yeah, it's hard to say whether you can change how you trust. Ultimately you have to take some level of risk otherwise you are missing out a lot of what life has to offer.
