*Trust*

trust - n. Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.

I usually have a pretty good sense in feeling out people. I can usually sense whether or not a person is trustworthy within 15 minutes upon meeting and talking to a person. I admit that on occasion I have been wrong, but generally my track record's pretty solid.
My problem boils down to this. Should you trust gut instinct or trust someone close? I've been beating myself up these past few months on this one. See, I do trust this person... but something always pops up that makes me question this trust I'm placing on them. Something came up again today... and I just can't let it slide this time.
I hate not being able to trust in someone in my life. It's just so much easier when you trust everyone around you, just so that you can just get on with your life and also accomodate them at the same time.
Why is my gut instinct flashing red lights?
