I agree as well. People are manipulated by the emotions of others... It's how mankind is overall - a bunch of followers wanting to create a stable environment.

Regarding trust... Well, trust is difficult to explain. I am sure as you typed that out you realized it yourself. Often people find themselves trusting people they never imagined they would have. Maybe it is the look in that person's eye when you tell them something; maybe it's that way they read you better than most/all of your friends; maybe it is them giving you a figurative hand in life; maybe it is just a freak incident.

I do not trust people in general. Life has taught me to watch my back and question everyone's motives... from potential friends to men. I go out of my way to make sure people I know I can not trust will back off immediatly. I usually do things to force people away. I have learned how to avoid trusting in others, and them in me. But truth be told... If I saw another person in trouble, I would do almost anything to save them. I would not trust them to do that for me, but I know, in my heart, they could trust me. Does that make sense? When I trust people I often feel awkward and easily aggitated. But those people that do that to me... I would never give them up because the good moments are golden and the bad only a passing rain drizzle/storm.

I do not think anyone can truly define emotions or feelings. Psychologists, sociologists, therapists, councellors, etc... They only know their experiences, not another's. And the human experience is what defines emotions.

It's so amazing, though, how even just the smallest thing can earn your trust from someone. Even if you are just observing them amongst other people, then you deem them trustworthy and you are all of a sudden confiding in them. It's almost a strange thought to think that the people I have been friends with since kindergarten are less trustworthy to me than the people that I have known for a year.

It is crazy how we are so manipulated by other people's actions and emotions. And when someone breaks that promise or does something out-of-character, they are just being human. But that simple thing could make or break our world.

Maybe I am just over-analyzing, haha.
