I used to be two trusting and give people the benafit of the doubt. Then this one girl who was supposed to be my second best friend told people that I did not have aspergers (even though she knew I'd been diagnosed by a professional) and in fact that I was lying. he managed to turn everyone except my best friend against me with her lies, she tried to make my best friend feel really guilty she was sticking by me, we ended up having a blasing row over the computer and we hated each other.
This made the realise that the people who believed her over me even though she was lying were not worth being friends with. Now I only trust people who I have a reason to give trust to and the only person I trust there is my best friend of almost 5 years (5 years in september).

I trust almost everyone I come across. I don't really have much of a choice, unless I can pick up some reason not to trust them (e.g. used car salesman on buying a car, etc)

Ah finally a place I feel at home and no one is condeming me for my lack of trust in human nature. The fact is I totally trust people - I trust them to let me down!

I used to have trust issues.Like I remember people used to "befriend" me just to get juicy details about my life and problems and then blab it to other people.After that I hardly trusted anyone until Im started seeing my counselor.Then I learned to trust again.I think it's kinda hard for aspies as in who to trust and who not to in a way.
