Can you ever put your faith in anyone?

I'm male and not ashamed of the fact I'd like to be able to put my faith in someone I could share my life with. But you can't, is the sad fact of life.

Any thoughts anyone?

You will know when the person, and time, is right.

mate, I'm male too and to be completely honest I feel like I've been trying to put my faith on people too much. But you know, sometimes life sucks and it always just becomes ****ed up. I mean I always try to put my faith on my friends etc but it just seems that they are always aloof so I decided I can try putting my faith on people but I shouldn't really expect them to do the same thing.

There can be miracles if you believe!

^Soz that was random. Anywho about the faith thing, how about doing a faith test? Like do it intentionally and see if they are really worth you puting their faith in them.

Faith is a two way thing, and is not something you find but finds you. Give it time, maybe learn to understand or read people more, then that way you maybe have the upperhand in understanding whether or not you can trust them and if they are capable of being the way you want them to be with you. Trust, communication and love = faith imo

But its different with men and friends. I mean no matter how you think you are close you just can't expect them or ask them to put faith on you as it is considered gay. I mean similar experience would be I have a friend who i think I'm pretty close to but he have problems and feeling down and no matter how much I ask him, he wouldn't tell him and I always end up saying an gay inuendo joke.

I don't mean male freinds, I don't care about that.

I mean a woman.

to a woman? that's easy. it wil develop over time. being aloof to them makes it easier as it confuses them then have a whole speech about u wanting to trust them etc then you will definitely have it.

How can that be a fact when you know that not every couple in the world is splitting up?

You can put your faith in someone, there is always a somebody.

People like to think of life in the most negative way to justify their negative thought. Negative thought makes you ill and dull.

Cheer up

There's nobody I'd trust 100% to do right by me - my parents taught me to trust no-one. I always think the primary instinct in humans is survival and for anyone but yourself that could very well come at your expense. I don't live in a cave on my own or anything, I have some amazing friends and have had great relationships. But in answer to your question, nope, never gonna happen for me anyways!

That's pretty sad, you cant distrust everyone. There's the old adage try before you trust that's a better way to live.

Otherwise the sad thing is that a leopard never changes its spots, that's something that advocates of "people change for the better" come to see when they think people can change and then don't.

Im female and i find it really really hard to trust anyone that 'i could share my life with'. However i know that thats my problem and i need to work on it because i know from seeing other people that it is not a fact of life and it is possible to put faith in someone and not be let down.

I think I could put my faith in someone else, even though it is a rather big thing to do.

Also, hello to people who quote me in 'shoutboxes'.

Nah, people will always let you down, cus no one is perfect. What matters most though is that you learn to love them regardless. Hard thing to do, but also the best thing to do, or one of the best things to do. To trust someone involves loving them (in context with putting faith in someone I'm assuming it's like, friendships, etc you're on about) and to love someone is the best thing you can give. And well, life would be pretty pointless without love.

Learn to first put your faith in God, the one who loved you first, then you'll have the strength to learn to love others even when they let you down. And foolish though it sounds, it's also the most joyous and most amazing. But without someone you can draw faith from, you can hardly have the faith to put in people who constantly let you down.

Don't know if you believe in Christ, but it's just the way I see things and it's been true for as long as I've tried to practice it. :smile:

It's pretty simple really. You put your faith in someone when the right person comes along :smile:

And you'll be suprised at how much you trust the person and feel you can tell them anything, it's just happenned to me :biggrin:

I'm a firm believer in people. People are good. Give them a chance or they'll never give you one.

I’d really like to put my faith in someone and I think I’m ready too. But, whenever I have done, I’ve been let down. So, I go back to being my guarded else.

I’ve made the mistake of relying on people (I felt I could rely on them as they had relied on me numerous times) and I’ve been burned in the process. It takes a while for me to trust people and once I have, I would do anything within reason. Realised now that has to stop, as quite a few people have taken my niceness for granted and giving nothing in return once they have earned my trust.
