Maybe it's just me then :)

With a victimization complex.:)Or something.

I worked in IT a little. And the more you know about what goes on the smarter you feel you have to be.
For example recently some thousands of medical records and information were hacked from the NHS in uk. The NHS were still running XP for petes sake..
It came to light that it wasn't just the NHS that were running antiquated hardware and operating systems, the problem was throughout government organizations.
Maybe I should have called the topic (((paranoia ))) :)


No, I don't think it's just you. I think maybe your topic is being misunderstood, at least by me. When it comes to people who come into my life, I trust them automatically... it comes natural.

When it comes to business I do online, I am going to protect my info from possible hackers or scam artists. The stuff that happens through internet crime doesn't make me less weary of trusting people. But it does make me a little more proactive in protecting my assets from criminals.

I don't really put much thought into it though because I don't really have many assets so I seriously doubt I would be a target. Though it could happen to anyone regardless of what they have or don't have.

Are you talking more about trusting people you know, or is this more about trusting organizations and putting your stuff online while conducting business?
Well said rosey but this is nothing new, Coldersky :thinking:

I love this topic and hate some women saying not to view/approach thier profile, since I am not from the Americas or EMEA/APAC. They think that people like us are here to hookup with someone as a Visa sponsor. Well I am here to satisfy my fifty shades of grey like every other shady ladies/gentlemen not for any Visa sponsorship. So kindly start to trust people like us too.

Trust is a big issue these days, it always has been.
There was a time when I would be trusting of people until they proved otherwise.
I think that with the advent of the internet and the security issues inherent in online information, banking, shopping or for that matter dating.

We have perhaps become more xenophobic as a self protection measure.
The path to trust has become longer and longer. And the distance between people greater as a result. And not just online. All someone has to do is make off with that little book that you keep all your nonsensical passwords in and you are ruined.

Does anyone else hate having to be this way? But what else can you do?

I think habitual xenophobia is undermining community spirit to a degree. It's not so good when it comes to dating either :)

Any thoughts?


My thought is that you have the wrong understanding of the term. The definition of xenophobia is "dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries." Please use the right words when discussing an issue. It has NOTHING to do with trust!

I read the title and thought "xenophobia" was the fear of being attacked/hunted/killed by a xenomorph.
I'm dissappointed to realize its just another thread about racism.

I trust only those I know personally. I have decernment when it comes to trusting strangers.

I have met many Associates I wouldn't trust fully.

before someone can trust me, first of all I have to trust myself and also give everyone a benefit doubt to anyone who is it finding it difficult to trust me. Respect they say is reciprocal
