Where is a peaceful, common ground between allowing yourself to take a chance on someone, in the hopes that they are being honest and genuine with you, and your own fear that they are really just being manipulative and trying to hurt you on purpose?

How do you know if someone is being honest... Or just dealing you more crap that you can handle in hope and lies just to hurt you worse. I have a right to be angry. I have a right to say and do everything I have said and done. I was done dirty by someone who was supposed to protect me from the very things he does to me himself. How do you know if a habitual liar is being honest for the first time in his life? Or just doing more of the same... When the problem in a nutshell is you WANT to believe him. You want to trust in hope and peoples ability to be good and decent and honest.

You really don't know if someone is being honest. It's a risk we all take. Usually after I'm burned once by taking those risks it'd take someone pretty special for me to take that risk again, and if I did, and I was burned again, it would be time for that person to leave my life.

You have to just trust in your self to know when any line is crossed. Keep suspicion in the back of your mind but always on call. Trust is a thing earned threw communication, listing to what's being said. If you start feeling like the other is not true to there word, try some mind games like asking the same question in different ways so as to see consistency. Subtly suggest a different line of thinking then theirs, and see if they just jump on your wagon...any one being true will not. Good Luck.
