Would you reveal everything about you to someone that you trust?
Some people say that you should never reveal everything about you, even to people that you trust. If you do reveal everything then it makes you vulnerable. But if you don't, do you really trust the person? How can you say that you trust someone when you keep a lot of things about you and yet say that you trust someone?

If you really trust someone, would you be afraid to tell that person everything about you?

If you really someone, then why be afraid of being vulnerable?

Am I making sense? Maybe not.

Being afraid to share deep thoughts and feelings would limit your ability to live and be yourself. Trust yourself to open up to those you feel free to do so, if they judge or treat you badly you move on. You will discover that when you are not afraid and are true to yourself that you will gain strength and greater understanding of yourself and others. Grace is the key to accepting yourself and others. We are all imperfect humans looking at life through our own shaded glasses that affect how we see and hear things. Live and grow and enjoy! We get one opportunity to live this life.

Hmmm... Florian, how about widening your question by adding this: would you trust more someone who you know or strangers?

As for your current question, I will never reveal everything about me even to those who I trust most.
Remember that well known Japanese proverb about three faces, Florian? We all have the third face that we'll never show anyone.

I wouldn't tell everything, not because I didn't trust. but I think a lot of people are prejudiced and moralistic ... so they wouldn't understand many things about me.

Some friendly grammar corrections:

"reveal everything about YOURSELF".
"How can you say that you trust someone when you keep a lot of things about YOURSELF PRIVATE..."
"IF you really TRUST someone, then why are you afraid of being vulnerable?"

Hope this helps. Great question!

I never give all information to any single person.
But if all people who know something about me meet and share everything they know, I guess there will be very little to no left unrevealed... However, statistics is a science and it tells us that is impossible or highly unlikely) I'm pretty careful dispensing information in small portions around the globe)
Actually it's not about trust for me.... I usually share only that information which I'm ready to provide to anyone. And I really don't have much of the other kind... Perhaps I don't want some people to know what I really think about them. The easiest way to keep them unaware is to tell no one about it. It's a small world after all...)
