Do you trust other people too much?
Have you ever met a person with whom you got along so well that you quickly became inseparable? You shared values and interests with her and you immediately allowed her to approach you and become a person you will be happy to trust .
It is natural that we are attracted to people with whom we can connect. It gives us a sense of security and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, however, this great desire for a deep relationship with someone prevents us from recognizing whether the person we are getting close to is really worthy of our trust. For that reason, many people trust others too much, even when it is not the wisest thing to do.
The problem arises if the person we have trusted is manipulative, and in addition charming. In such a situation, even when she shows the right face and treats us badly, we will offer her a second chance, or worse, make excuses for her. How will we know do we trust the wrong person?
1. You apologize for other people's bad behavior
If the person you became close to does something obvious to you or to the detriment of people dear to you, and you still find excuses to justify their behavior and even apologize for their actions and give them a second chance, it is a sign that you believe that person too much.
2. You are overwhelmed by the feeling that others are taking advantage of you
This is a sign that you have to work on setting your own limits and not allowing others to exceed them, and if they do, despite everything, you react adequately. This may mean telling them that you will no longer tolerate it or simply ending the relationship with these people if this is not the first time they have cheated on your trust.
How do we correct our behavior if we trust people too much?
The solution is not to completely isolate ourselves from society, make an impenetrable wall around us and not allow anyone to approach us, but to start respecting ourselves, recognizing our needs and desires and not allowing others to impose their will on us.
