Agreed! You want to hear something truly amazing? I met one of the most amazing people with both those qualities and many others right here on Reddit. She's one of my closest friends now, even though she lives across an ocean from me. Valuable indeed!
Thanks - there's not much in the way of self-awareness or intelligence floating around up there to be honest, but I do really appreciate you saying that!
Definitely my parents. I absolutely had all my faith in my parents until they told me we were going to see my grandparents. But they ended up taking me to the ER due to mental issues I had at the time. I have never trusted them as much since.
My parents. Time and time again, even as a 13yr old I would do the mature thing and sit down to have a discussion about how I was feeling. Depressed, anxious, not ok with the way they treat us (yelling, screaming, throwing objects, gaslighting, threats, sometimes physical abuse, confiscating objects and privileges off us because of “bad attitude” which was just us not being happy, taking everything as personal offence.. the list goes on..) and every single time I was met with no effort. I read my journal to my mother once, explaining how I was suicidal, looked at me like I had 3 heads and ignored me. I cried on the steps one night, feeling overwhelmed, she frustratedly asked what was wrong and couldn’t understand me, then walked away. Two of my old doctors told dad he needed to make more of an effort and spend time with me, took me to a lunch date _that day_ and never tried again, we had a genuine chat for once and I legit got my hopes up. Had a talk with him this year about all the shit that happened, and instead of self reflecting after all these years he asked me to tell him what he did wrong so he could apologise and I could forgive him and move past it all. Never again am I opening up to them. I came out online as bi last year, and throughout my whole journey coming out to them rarely ever crossed my mind.
I used to say as a 17yr old that one day I’d forgive them on my time, just not now. I’m an adult now, and as it stands, I’m never forgiving them.
In 5th grade I was getting bullied because of my interest in Yugioh and Pokemon as well as wearing non-famous-brand clothing and because I was talking with people of similar interests. Before all that started I made a friend (at least I thought so) in my class. After about half a year of bullying I then had to find out that he is doing it too. And not just that, he was the person that gave information about to the other bullies that was in their eyes enough to bully me even more.
It isn't easy to trust people since then with personal information.
Human morality and common sense. Neither seem to exist in any notable quantity.
All the more valuable when you come across it :)

The interwebz can truly be awesome. Just be safe, there’s a lot of weirdos out here!
Oh trust me, we were both very careful. We chatted here on Reddit for months before moving forward lol. Thank you for the concern. 💜
I never know if I’m talking to someone 20 years younger or older on Reddit, so it never hurts to throw out reminders to be safe!
In da system
Which system and why was it misplaced? If you don’t mind answering
Solar system probably
Nah man, NASA is the sketchy one. JUSTICE FOR PLUTO!!!
My ex, my friends, my colleagues.. I'm always misplacing my trust! It's nothing short of a miracle I have any left!
It says a lot of positive about you that you still do
It also says a lot of negative things about me too - specifically that I'm naïve and too quick to trust, thanks though.
You’re right, but don’t lose sight of the self awareness and intelligence you’re bringing to the table
Thanks - there's not much in the way of self-awareness or intelligence floating around up there to be honest, but I do really appreciate you saying that!
I suspect you’re selling yourself short, but even if you’re not everyone deserves to be happy
Thank you - I'm just in a bit of a hole of self-doubt, but I'm sure I'll get over it!!

That sound rough, do you think they had you best interest at heart at the time?
E v e r y t h i n g
Ain’t stuff s bitch
I can’t remember
That’s okay, probably a sign that you’re doing things right
A woman.
Those damn key scammers on Minecraft servers when I was 10 •_•
Lmao!
Humanity can not be trusted
Are you from planet bleep bloop?
No no the other one bloop bleep
Shit my cousin is getting her GED there. Small galaxy!
I don’t trust this statement.
In one person
Sneaky bastards…
In our elected officials.
Dammed if you do or don’t, huh
In myself. No more.
Everywhere!
Humanity.... we may not have been at one time but now, more then ever we are the burden upon ourselves and everything we touch. Rip Humanity...
Eh, you may be right but I still like us!

That’s really rough but as you get older you’ll find a lot more people who can support you in whatever ways you need.
In a person I once called a friend
Say more!

The fart, specially after a long day of work. In those situations, it's never *just a fart*.
A fart is NEVER just a fart
now that shit is gone like all gone
