I've made mistakes where I'm aware of the mistake at some point and I keep in the problem. That's correctable. That is being alive!

so I guess I can say I trust eventually face it. But I don't trust that I'm always on it. Isn't that really the way people are?

I think you're right. Sometimes I role play this. Which is funny. The "godmother" persona talks to Mols. She's much nicer than I am!

The self-compassion and forgiveness is hard for me to do. Someone else's soul search? I am for others far more empathetic than self.

I like it! It's a methodology that works for me. The self-forgiveness process is as important as owning and correcting our bad acts.

very good conversation. Thank you for that my friend :-)

Don't ignore their actions - actions will tell all. When all else fails, follow your gut. A well trained gut almost never lies.

Think about who was *really* there for you in times of need. In my experience I can count these people on one hand.

...also it depends what you're trusting them with. Feeding the cat when away is different to divulging extra toes etc.

Depends on the level and type of trust. I tend to give shallow trust widely, but it takes a lot to earn my deep trust.
