I trusted you!

Trust is a complex concept that can be difficult to establish and maintain. Once trust is broken, it may require significant effort and time to regain, or it may never be restored at all. The question arises: why do we trust? What factors contribute to our decision to trust someone?

Furthermore, if someone betrays our trust, are we partially responsible for the situation? Did our own actions or choices play a role in the betrayal?

Losing trust can occur in various forms and circumstances, and it is possible that we have contributed to this loss in some way. I will delve into this further later on.

Let's consider expectations, which often serve as the primary reason for feeling betrayed. Depending on the situation, we tend to have certain expectations. When the outcome fails to meet these expectations, we may think, "I knew this would happen." In such cases, why did we choose to trust in the first place, knowing that the result would be disappointing? The answer lies within ourselves.

As human beings, we naturally have expectations, even if we deny this reality. On the other hand, if we have no expectations, we will never experience sadness, disappointment, or hurt when someone betrays our trust. This is not a judgment, but rather an analysis of reality. If we are honest with ourselves, we can avoid unnecessary disappointment.

Ultimately, we are only in control of ourselves. We are responsible for our emotions and the reasons behind them. We are accountable for our choices and their consequences. Therefore, we cannot blame others for how we feel or the actions we take. No one has the power to make us feel a certain way; we feel because we choose to.

I am sharing my thoughts on trust because I have personally experienced a situation in a business context where the person, I chose to trust did not meet my expectations. However, I was aware of their reckless nature, yet I still made the conscious decision to trust them. Therefore, I cannot hold anyone else accountable for the outcome but myself.

Remember to rely on yourself and your intuition, so that when things don't go as planned, you won't fall into the victim mindset. Our actions and emotions are our own responsibility, and by acknowledging this, we can find greater happiness and embrace new experiences.


Have a good night, everyone!
