new philosophy on trust

I've decided that I don't trust nice people anymore. (Nice people actually make me uneasy) I've come to the realization that the type of person that I trust now, is the 'real' type. The type of person who is honest for the sake of being honest.  

  • Nice people know how to manipulate a situation or person in order for events to work in their favor. 
  • A 'real' person lets you know who they are and what they want without warrent or consequence. (Those are the people who deserve trust because at first glance, they let you know whether or not they are worthy of it. )

As opposed to nice people who are not the same on the inside as they are on the outside. Who allow the glit and glamour of the plastic mask they call a personality to distract from the fact that they are not worth the trust you want to give them.

Well, theres a middle ground. I'm probably one of those 'nice' people; but I really keep it real, because I believe in honesty and will abandon any relationship that doesn't have honesty as one of the foundational pillars holding it up.
It's hard to trust someone, I understand...we evolve out of this basic belief that everyone has an ulterior motive, that no one 'really' cares. But what if one's motive is simply to exercise their humanity? They want nothing but to connect with you...it's a process to trust that there are people that want to lift you up, be nice to you, will be honest, and be of great substance. You yourself are one of those people...
