I'm too trusting. I know I shouldn't be.

Trust no one. Always the best policy, even with family. I've met far too many suckers who have been burned by being too trusting, even by close family. Always made me shake my head at their gullibility.

When we are young we are totally trusting of our family.
If they never violate that trust we do trust people more than we would if our trust were violate at home.
As we age it is not so much the trust we have in others, as much as it is the trust we have in our own intuition.

Dogs can tell if you're untrustworthy
Dogs may not seem terribly bright when they're chasing their own tails, but in many ways they are clever creatures. In particular, they are very socially aware, both of humans and of each other. Many studies have reported that they can sense human emotions. Recent research has found that they can tell the difference between happy and angry faces, and even show jealousy.
It now seems that they can sense when a person is untrustworthy. Once a dog has decided a person is unreliable, it stops following the cues they give.
It's been known for years that dogs understand what it means when a human points at something. If a dog's owner points to the location of a ball, stick or food, the dog will run and explore the location the person is pointing to. The latest research shows they are quick to figure out if these gestures are misleading.
In a study published in the journal Animal Cognition, a team led by Akiko Takaoka of Kyoto University in Japan presented 34 dogs with three rounds of pointing. In the first round, the experimenters accurately pointed to where food was hidden in a container. But in the second round, they pointed to an empty container. In the third round, the same experimenter again pointed to the container with food.
But now the dog did not respond to the experimenter's cue. That suggests, says Takaoka, that the dogs could use their experience of the experimenter to assess whether they were a reliable guide. After these rounds a new experimenter replicated the first round. Once again, the dogs followed this new person with interest.
Takaoka says she was surprised that the dogs "devalued the reliability of a human" so quickly. "Dogs have more sophisticated social intelligence than we thought. This social intelligence evolved selectively in their long life history with humans."
The study highlights that dogs like things to be predictable, says John Bradshaw of the University of Bristol in the UK, who was not involved with the research. As soon as events in their lives become irregular they will look for alternative things to do. And if they consistently don't know what's going to happen next they can get stressed, aggressive or fearful, he adds. "Dogs whose owners are inconsistent to them often have behavioural disorders."
This last part of the experiment can be explained by the fascination dogs have with anything new: "Dogs are almost information junkies", says Bradshaw, so a new experimenter is "trusted" once more.

I'm analytical, discerning and intuitive, so I've learned to trust my instincts when judging how much to trust other people. I extend a certain amount of trust to all strangers until they prove I shouldn't, but people usually live up to my expectations.
Successful SP's and hobbyists are probably hyper-intuitive when it comes to trust, because we continually put ourselves in vulnerable situations.
