I appear to trust more than I do / trusting intentions & trusting followthrough / 77x7 chances

I may seem trusting, perhaps even too trusting. Certainly people have thought that I trusted people because I brought them close to me. (I felt very bad about this after they ended up hurt thinking they could trust someone I trusted, not knowing that I didn't actually trust that person). Let me say this: I trust very few people all the way. I let

This is incredibly interesting to me. I would count myself as one of the most dependable people in my friends groups (well, maybe not recently or currently, but in the recent past I would) because I would drop everything in a second for anyone, and I have really tried to stay good on my word of being places or with people. I hate committing myself to things because I'm not sure if I can actually do it (if it would feel like an obligation thing, or if I'm doing it because it would genuinely make me happy). I prefer to know about things and then just show up if I feel up to it. More often than not I show up, but I can't overcommit myself.

I know that I am very trusting, and I let people get very close, but never to the point of changing who I am. Even in the moment, if I'm totally with them and all, I have learned to separate my energy from them and take a step back after the experience and not try to hang onto the experience like *they* are the reason why that experience happened. It's because we were both open hearted and both open to each other in the moment.

I think I'm much like you -- I can relate to others on all different kinds of 'wavelengths' but most of the people I know wouldn't necessarily mix well with others who I also know.
