I usually tend to be quite trusting. This, of course has bitten me in the ass a few times (including lately), but often works out for the best. I do keep my eyes open though. Once one has lost my trust, it can be difficult to earn it back.

Side: trust

You can be both, skepticism just means your constantly evaluating and questioning.

Trusting someone means you generally accept their word and take their likely actions to be non-harmful.

I don't see how their incompatible.

I'm usually pretty trusting unless I have a reason not too. I'm very good at telling when people are lying. It's actually kind of entertaining to sit and watch someone lie to me.

I generally trust people. Too much. But I'm shy when I first meet people too so there's not too much trouble caused.

Side: trust

I admit that I do trust strangers too much. Maybe I should be more cautious.

But I can usually read a person rather quickly and know what they will be like.

I agree, I'm the same way in real life but on the inetrnet, it's a lot harder of course.

I do not trust anyone. I want facts. This is why I am the way I am and it probably explains a lot of my beliefs on this site.

Now, I can tell if someone is generally a "liar", but I can also tell if the guy is filled with legitimate responses or not. Most people are not too bright.

Side: Skeptical

You can't trust very many humans, as it is natural for most to drop a dime on your ass at the first sign of trouble, and who needs fair weather friends?

i am skeptical at first because according to me believing people so simply is foolishness.

you can't really blindly trust a person. It's good to judge a little, but not a lot!
