RE: The circle of trust

Trust Is like an eraser, the more you give it out freely without process to note if the person is worth it, the more it reduces, being brutally honest is the truth but we know humans don't like the truth, we appreciate it more if sugarcoated lies are told to us which is why some say it with ease, they believe that's what you want to hear. Just like this part,

Trust and honesty fit together like coffee and cookies and I mentioned above brutal honesty. Being honest helps build the trust of course and lying destroys it, but is there a time for both? Do truth and lies fit together like honesty and trust? I think they do.

Though sometimes lying(white lie) is said to make another feel less pain as long as they are bits of truth attached to them as you've cited above.

I have been told I don't trust people, not as I do not, but the process it takes is longer than expected most time, and if it finally happens, I am careful of the information I divulge.
