[The feed begins with an obviously confused female voice.] ...so how do I turn this damn thing on again? [You can hear her pause before sighing, slightly annoyed.] No, D'veg. You can't eat it, and it doesn't give you cookies.

That's a good question.

I guess it's best to follow your heart on that one! If you can trust someone, you'll know when you meet them and look right into their eyes!

[crimsonandnoir]

Follow your heart? Well, that sounds reasonable- but what if it's wrong? Or, at least, you think see everything there, but it's not.

Kinda like a hidden layer, or a hidden self, y'know? What if you came across someone like that?

[leftacreampuff]

I think that... the only way you'd ever be able to find that hidden layer is to get close to them anyway, right? If you're going to get close enough to learn about their ugly side... then I think you have to be prepared for it when you do give them your trust.

Getting hurt is a part of life, and I think it's something that we all need to experience. In order to really appreciate finding someone we can accept for all of their faults by following our hearts, we have to be hurt, too.

N-Not that it's a pleasant feeling! I'd rather it didn't happen sometimes, haha!

Er... sorry. I went on a bit of a tangent, didn't I?

Not at all, I don't mind.

When we trust people, we partially give them a part of us. Kinda like a way of saying- "here's a piece of me to carry with you, I'm relying on you to take care of it." So most of us really hope they do.

If the do, that's great- it means you've found someone who really is worth getting to know. If they don't, it hurts, and boy does it stick to your memory like a bad nightmare.

We need to get hurt, it's true, because that helps us build our character and everything. But at the same time... being too trusting can get you into more trouble then you could ever imagine.

Familiarity, I suppose. You can't trust someone until you understand them. It's the only way to be sure.

[video]

[crimsonandnoir]

Mmm, I get that. [She nods.] Any particular reason why it's "the only way," in your words? Understanding's great- but is that all you need to know about someone?

Re: [video]

[dr_kiriko]

Well...
[He thinks about this for a moment.]
... you can't trust someone unless you know how they'd react under pressure - therefore, understand them. You don't need to trust someone to get along with them, you only need to like them.
Trust is only required when something important to you is on the line... Whether you like them or not has nothing to do it. I know several people I don't like - but I would trust them with my life.

At least, that is the way I see it.

[crimsonandnoir]

It's good to see people still separate the two. It's not always the easiest thing. I know that from experience.

[purplebiker]

Hm. I.... well.

[[pause.]]

I'd have to get to know them first. You know, befriend them and whatnot.

[crimsonandnoir]

[She pauses, then chuckles a little.]

So you'd take the time to get closer, right? Not a bad idea, definitely doesn't hurt to try. But what if you can't really tell once you do get to know them?

[purplebiker]

If I like them enough once I get to know them, I'd probably trust them anyway.

[crimsonandnoir]

And what if they broke your trust? Would you forgive them?

[vesperiaftw]

Pretty personal question, don't you think?

LMFAO orz I can read, I swear.

[crimsonandnoir]

It can be. Then again I'm not asking for a life story, just a general opinion.

[vesperiaftw]

I don't think there's a general answer to something like that.
