unlaoised: Do you suffer from it?

Ps: Pistanthrophobia is the common fear of trusting people due to past experiences with relationships gone bad.


I trust everyone because I believe the old saying ... It's better to let go and see if they come back, than to hold on and see if they let go

Anthrophobia = Fear of people.
Fear in Greek = phobia
People (Human) in Greek = Anthropos.
Pista,maybe comes from the Greek "Pisteuo",which means
"Believe".
So "believe in fear of people".

I don't think it's a mistake. Trusting people are rare these days but you've heard the story...."fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me"? wave

Very true..but I usually know when I'm being fooled, my main problem is not acting on it sooner. .But once I'm done I'm done..no turning back.
