Making Friends / Trust NEEDS FREQUENT RISK
#Relationships #Growing 🌱 🌱 🌱
" If we do not take risks with others, then we do not have the opportunity for anything great to happen. "
Quote is from Anarchist pages, so if they can do it perhaps there is hope for others to be friends loosely and a bit more dedicated too to do more of "friends" !

#Trust from an Anarchist perspective might be more extreme than casual Fediverse chat since they are coming from more risk to trust but maybe you can learn from it... instead of just never trusting even if you get ok feelings from them.
Anyway I think people who are not confident of themselves or their own material are probably going to be endlessly chasing their shadows and unsatisfied like seriously hashtag #ChasingTheirOwnShadows !
I recommend starting to try find anything that will help YOU trust because it helps us all (and without accusing you) but really sharing is sometimes hard for people almost like their jealous or something precedes meeting someone! (before anything are you jealous or never met different enough people to accept them?)
Perhaps we're already at that stage of not trusting for anyone and also people are protective of the very little they have!
Maybe "The more you have, the more cautions you are..." but really talking about it helps or knowing really not much can happen from far away lol.
People not wanting to deal with "people" is actually a damage like "limiting the world" too from relationships growing!
YOU ARE THE CONTAMINATION?
So those people who are contacted for mutual reasons can often contaminate things between people thinking something is suspicious asking too many questions or trying to catch people out without saying what's your own trouble with trusting people even in a "let's see how it goes" basis.
Life is too short - accept differences and say more about trust to understand why - most people will tell you why they are X Y Z and help say why you might perceive it that way.
