I may have trust issues, but some people seem to have an issue with the responsibility of being trusted.
Melchor Lim
Origins and History of Consciousness III. It’s simple to wake from sleep with a stranger, dress, go out, drink coffee, enter a life again. It isn’t simple to wake from sleep into the neighborhood of one neither strange nor familiar whom we have chosen to trust. Trusting, untrusting, we lowered ourselves into this, let ourselves downward hand over hand as on a rope that quivered over the unsearched…. We did this. Conceived of each other, conceived each other in a darkness which I remember as drenched in light. I want to call this, life. But I can’t call it life until we start to move beyond this secret circle of fire where our bodies are giant shadows flung on a wall where the night becomes our inner darkness, and sleeps like a dumb beast, head on her paws, in the corner.
Adrienne Rich (The Dream of a Common Language)
Of course you don’t trust Braith. You don’t trust anybody,” Ghleanna reminded their brother. “You don’t trust the air.” “Because it tends to become unseasonably chilly when I’d prefer it to be warm. It’s as if it does it on purpose.
G.A. Aiken (A Tale of Two Dragons (Dragon Kin, #0.2))
There was a curious affinity between man and dog. Both were untamed, both were creatures born and bred to fight, honed and tempered fine by hot winds and long desert stretches, untrusting, dangerous, yet good companions in a hard land.
Louis L'Amour (Hondo)
It's unsettling to meet people who don't eat apples.
Aimee Bender (The Color Master: Stories)
Like those in the valley behind us, most people stand in sight of the spiritual mountains all their lives and never enter them, being content to listen to others who have been there and thus avoid the hardships. Some travel into the mountains accompanied by experienced guides who know the best and least dangerous routes by which they arrive at their destination. Still others, inexperienced and untrusting, attempt to make their own routes. Few of these are successful, but occasionally some, by sheer will and luck and grace, do make it. Once there they become more aware than any of the others that there's no single or fixed number of routes. There are as many routes as there are individual souls.
Robert M. Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values (Phaedrus, #1))
So why must it wound him that the most despairing music is full of beauty? Why must it hurt him and make him cynical and sad and untrusting?
Anne Rice (Cry to Heaven)
People who feel untrusted have little inclination to bond together into a cooperative team.
Tom DeMarco (Peopleware : Productive Projects and Teams)
Behind every untrusting girl is a boy who made her that way
L.J. Shen (Pretty Reckless (All Saints High, #1))
Graff had isolated Ender to make him struggle. To make him prove, not that he was competent, but that he was far better than everyone else. That was the only way he could win respect and friendship. It made him a better soldier then he would ever have been otherwise. It also made him lonely, afraid, angry, untrusting. And maybe those traits, too, made him a better soldier.
Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game (Ender's Saga, #1))
How can I shut down If you don't open up??
Ana Claudia Antunes (Pierrot & Columbine (The Pierrot´s Love Book 1))
I think we are, by our own closed-door admissions, a fractious untrusting tribe unified only because we are besieged by larger forces.
Andrew X. Pham (Catfish and Mandala: A Two-Wheeled Voyage Through the Landscape and Memory of Vietnam)
You’re too untrusting, Susebron wrote. I keep telling you. My priests are good people. She regarded him flatly, catching his eyes. Except for removing my tongue, he admitted.
Brandon Sanderson (Warbreaker)
Your personal growth depends on your relationship remaining safe and secure at all times, because if either of you feel the least bit unsafe, untrusting, or insecure, you won’t have the internal resources for personal growth. Instead, your mind and body will be preoccupied by doubt and threat.
Stan Tatkin (We Do: Saying Yes to a Relationship of Depth, True Connection, and Enduring Love)
All these experiences we have through our days make us who we are: hardy, tough, resilient, determined,” while recognizing they’ve also left us “wary, untrusting and emotionally retarded/unstable.
Charles Spencer (A Very Private School: A Memoir)
Life experience, especially negative experiences, help callous the mind. But it’s up to you where that callous lines up. If you choose to see yourself as a victim of circumstance into adulthood, that callous will become resentment that protects you from the unfamiliar. It will make you too cautious and untrusting, and possibly too angry at the world. It will make you fearful of change and hard to reach, but not hard of mind.
David Goggins (Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds)
He might not want to hurt me, but that doesn't mean he won't.
Holly Black (The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air, #3))
But the thing about my granddad is . . . it’s kind of hard to convince him people won’t just do the right thing. You hate to say anything that sounds hostile or untrusting or small-hearted around him. You feel like he’d be disappointed in you.
Joe Hill (The Fireman)
Once you’ve been a shotgun person for a while, it’s hard to imagine anything else, and you start using stupid terms like ‘human nature’ to describe it. If being a selfish, untrusting asshole is human nature, then how do we form friendships? Where do families come from?
Cory Doctorow (Walkaway)
Hadrian had always felt that cats were picky, untrusting things. Being fragile, they had to be. Whenever a cat sat on him, Hadrian felt special, as if the animal approved, and their acceptance was some sort of gift. Makes a body feel worthy of something to have a cat trust you that much.
Michael J. Sullivan (The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (The Riyria Chronicles, #4))
I found myself deep in a pit of self-loathing and fear. I became a fearful and untrusting person. I struggle to this day with the damage I caused myself in my formative years from adhering so precisely to the ideals set in the book. I regret putting myself in chains. I mourn the untapped freedom of learning to love, to forgive, to trust, and to care.
Linda Kay Klein (Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free)
Imani huchukua miaka mingi kuijenga lakini sekunde chache kuibomoa.
Enock Maregesi

It also made him lonely, afraid, angry, untrusting. And maybe those traits, too, made him a better soldier.
Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1))
There is another kind of belief, a second force, insecure, untrusting, a faith that is spring-fed by the things we fear in the night.
Don DeLillo (Underworld)
He’s so untrusting.” “That’s because you just told him a big pack of lies,” Clove said.
Amanda M. Lee (Witching on a Star (Wicked Witches of the Midwest, #4))
Life had taught her to be untrusting. Dreamers and romantics like her father did not fare well, and though she had dreamed in Uukumil, she’d done so quietly, in secret.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Gods of Jade and Shadow)
It made him a better soldier than he would ever have been otherwise. It also made him lonely, afraid, angry, untrusting. And maybe those traits, too, made him a better soldier.
Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1))
Eros (or call it lust if you will), is like a beautiful, magnificent Afghan Hound! A pure white Afghan Hound commanding respect and honor! But if you take the Afghan Hound and lock it in a small cage, shun it and look upon it badly, treat it as a pestilence and wish that it would die; that same creature of beauty will become a vile, unrepentant, dark creature of the shadows! Untrusting, hidden in the corner, aggressive... something that will harm others and yourself! But is this the nature of the creature, is this the fault of the creature? Or are YOU the one who has created the monster that it has become? And this is my philosophy: that we are both corporeal and incorporeal beings, therefore, the same amount of good intent MUST be given to both our soul and our body!
C. JoyBell C.
Without confidence in Christ we could be tempted to become egocentric and cocky. Without confidence in ourselves we are defeated, powerless Christians. Without confidence in others we are suspicious and untrusting.
John C. Maxwell (Be a People Person: Effective Leadership Through Effective Relationships)
Immutable objects are simple. They can only be in one state, which is carefully controlled by the constructor. One of the most difficult elements of program design is reasoning about the possible states of complex objects. Reasoning about the state of immutable objects, on the other hand, is trivial. Immutable objects are also safer. Passing a mutable object to untrusted code, or otherwise publishing it where untrusted code could find it, is dangerous — the untrusted code might modify its state, or, worse, retain a reference to it and modify its state later from another thread. On the other hand, immutable objects cannot be subverted in this manner by malicious or buggy code, so they are safe to share and publish freely without the need to make defensive copies.
Brian Goetz (Java Concurrency in Practice)
Mountains like these and travelers in the mountains and events that happen to them here are found not only in Zen literature but in the tales of every major religion. This allegory of a physical mountain for the spiritual one that stands between each soul and its goal is an easy and natural one to make. Like those in the valley behind us, most people stand in sight of the spiritual mountains all their lives and never enter them, being content to listen to others who have been there and thus avoid the hardships. Some travel into the mountains accompanied by experienced guides who know the best and least dangerous routes by which they arrive at their destination. Still others, inexperienced and untrusting, attempt to make their own routes. Few of these are successful, but occasionally some, by sheer will and luck and grace, do make it. Once there they become more aware than any of the others that there's no single or fixed number of routes. There are as many routes as there are individual souls.
Robert M. Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values (Phaedrus, #1))
People want others to trust them, yet they have no single trust for themselves.
John Joclebs Bassey (Night of a Thousand Thoughts)
I am not yet in pain. But I do not doubt that I will be.
Holly Black (The Stolen Heir (The Stolen Heir Duology, #1))
... his kindness was jarring and made me wonder what he wanted in return for it. I was used to tricks, to games.
Holly Black (The Stolen Heir (The Stolen Heir Duology, #1))
I remember my very first day in the gym back in Indiana. My palms were soft and quickly got torn up on the bars because they weren’t accustomed to gripping steel. But over time, after thousands of reps, my palms built up a thick callous as protection. The same principle works when it comes to mindset. Until you experience hardships like abuse and bullying, failures and disappointments, your mind will remain soft and exposed. Life experience, especially negative experiences, help callous the mind. But it’s up to you where that callous lines up. If you choose to see yourself as a victim of circumstance into adulthood, that callous will become resentment that protects you from the unfamiliar. It will make you too cautious and untrusting, and possibly too angry at the world. It will make you fearful of change and hard to reach, but not hard of mind. That’s where I was as a teenager, but after my second Hell Week, I’d become someone new. I’d fought through so many horrible situations by then and remained open and ready for more. My ability to stay open represented a willingness to fight for my own life, which allowed me to withstand hailstorms of pain and use it to callous over my victim’s mentality. That shit was gone, buried under layers of sweat and hard fucking flesh, and I was starting to callous over my fears too. That realization gave me the mental edge I needed to outlast Psycho Pete one more time.
David Goggins (Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds)
Question : I FEEL I HAVE SURRENDERED TO SAI BABA, BUT STILL I FEEL THE NECESSITY OF WORKING WITH ANOTHER TEACHER OR GURU. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Osho : The first thing is to remember that the master really does not work. He is there, his presence works, but the presence can work only if you have trust. If you don't have trust, nothing can be done. So really, if you feel you have surrendered to Sai Baba, what is the need to come to me? If the surrender has really happened, then asking for another master is futile. I doubt your surrender, your trust, because when trust has happened nothing more is needed. It is good if you feel an intimate closeness with Sai Baba..But then don't wander here and there, then don't go to anybody else, because this is impossible. If you have surrendered then move to Sai Baba, open yourself to him so that he can work; then don't go seeking here and there. I am ready to help, but for that you will have to be receptive. If you trust me, something becomes possible. You cannot be forced into nirvana, you can only flow into it. There are many who go on wandering from one master to another. The total result may be simply confusion, because each master works in his own way, he has his own methods, and you go on accumulating information. That information is bound to be contradictory. Then you will get confused, you may even go insane. It is better to stick to one master and give your heart totally to him. If then nothing happens, move. But be finished with that master, don't be in an incomplete relationship. First go back to Sai Baba, be finished with him. Either you are transformed, then there is no need to find anyone; or Sai Baba is not your master, it is proved. Then come to me. And the same applies to my own disciples. If you are here with me, be finished with me. Be totally with me, so that either the mutation happens and then there is no need to find anyone or to go anywhere, or you come to realize, "This man is not for me." Then you can leave me totally, then you can move, then somewhere else.... But being here with me halfheartedly and then moving to someone else halfheartedly will not do. Rather, it may be dangerous. You may become so split, so divided, with so many voices in you, that you may become a crowd. Patience is needed. If you are totally devoted to one master the thing is bound to happen. And I would say that even if the master is not true, the thing can happen if you are totally devoted. Even if the master is false the happening is possible if you are totally devoted - because the happening doesn't happen through the master, it happens through total devotion. So even a dead master, or a master who has never been, just the name, will do. The real alchemy, the science of mutation, is within you. The master is at the most just a catalytic agent, nothing more. Go back to your own master and be with him. And don't try to judge him; you have got no way to judge anybody. All that you can do is give your total heart to him. And what have you got to lose? So why be so afraid? You have got nothing to lose, so why be so untrusting? Give yourself totally. Many times it has happened that a disciple was transformed through a master who was not a master at all. And many times the contrary has also happened: the master was true but the disciple was not transformed. The ultimate thing depends on you, not on me. You are the deciding factor. So wherever you go, make it a law: go with your total heart. Otherwise you will move with empty hands everywhere. And the more you move, the more you go to this master and that, the more there will be confusion, suffering, and finally you may decide that there exists no one who can transform you. Or, you may come to conclude that there is nothing like transformation, this is all hocus-pocus. And the reason will only be this - that you were never anywhere with your total heart.
Osho (Vedanta: Seven Steps to Samadhi- Discourses on Akshyupanishad)
This would happen in any time period, but in an electronic age these processes are likely to occur much faster and have more profound effects. As trust levels continue to plummet, people stop trusting mainstream politicians and mainstream newspapers, a process we are already observing. They will begin to assume – as a matter of course – that these people and news sources are deceiving them and, as we have seen, on many key matters they will be correct. They will turn to alternative news sources and vote for alternative political figures. As jurist Cass Sunstein (2018) has explored, this will create an echo chamber effect whereby people will increasingly only be hearing the viewpoints which they already accept. This will help to further cement a divided, Balkanized, and untrusting society. Concomitantly, we will expect Finnish society – like all European societies – to become increasingly diverse in terms of worldview, as the ‘spiteful mutants’ spread their views which, through a virtue-signalling arms race to appear ever more caring, will become more and more extreme.
Edward Dutton (The Silent Rape Epidemic: How the Finns Were Groomed to Love Their Abusers)
We treat a native mobile application as an untrusted or a public client. A client application, which is not capable of protecting its own keys or credentials, is identified as a public client under OAuth terminology.
Prabath Siriwardena (Advanced API Security: OAuth 2.0 and Beyond)
Why do you read a newspaper? Does it directly impact your life when you read that someone was killed in another country?” “Well, some of it does but most of it… no, it doesn’t at all,” David said. “Ah, but that’s where you are wrong. It has a direct impact on your energy. It lowers it in an instant. The more bad news you read, the more it lowers your energy, and pretty soon you become pessimistic, paranoid and untrusting.
Steven P. Aitchison (The Witches of Scotland Book 2 (The Dream Dancers: Akashic Chronicles, #2))
Fearful-Avoidant will: • Often demonstrate ongoing ambivalence in relationships—they constantly shift between being vulnerable with their partner and being distant. This behavior is consistent across all their relationships, regardless of whether they are romantic. • Generally express depth of processing—a tendency to overanalyze microexpressions, body language, and language for signs of betrayal. This occurs because they had an untrusting relationship with their caregivers in childhood. Living with a parent who is an addict or emotionally unwell are two examples of what may create this distrust. • Not trust naturally • Often feel as if betrayal is always on the horizon The core wounds for this attachment style revolve around feeling unworthy, being taken advantage of, and feeling unsafe. Why is the Fearful-Avoidant individual so unpredictable? Their core wounds and tumultuous behavior typically stem from some form of childhood abuse. However, this abuse is paired with one or both parents also being emotionally supportive at infrequent times. This combination creates an innate sense of distrust and confusion, and Fearful-Avoidants learn to expect betrayal while also craving love. It also becomes quite difficult for the Fearful-Avoidant to learn a strategy for attaching or bonding to caregivers because of the level of inconsistency. Moreover, since they perceived love as a chaotic entity from a young age, they tend to have immense internal conflict as adults. They simultaneously want to feel a sense of connection while subconsciously believing it to be a threat. This produces feelings of resentment or frustration that can be later projected onto relationships. Ultimately, the Fearful-Avoidant shows up in their relationships as a loving partner, and then will become frightened and pull away when they become vulnerable. To be in a successful relationship with a Fearful-Avoidant, the partner or friend must provide a deep connection in a consistent way. This means openness and respect for boundaries, paired with constant reassurance.

Compared to my brothers, I've always been the most reserved and untrusting, since I was a young child. Situations in my life amplified the feeling, turning a hopeful kid into a bitter adult.
Lauren Asher (The Fine Print (Dreamland Billionaires, #1))
I'm not sure I trust anyone anymore. Not even myself.
Holly Black (The Prisoner’s Throne (The Stolen Heir Duology, #2))

Mostly the beauty has the dangerous, suspicious, untrusting, and even vanity waves in it, and that indeed, prevail too.
Ehsan Sehgal
Hearts of stone are often hearts that have been wounded, overburdened, and disappointed. The walls of the heart have toughened to prevent the absorption of more pain and to preserve the appearance of life. Left un-dealt with, these hearts can become cynical, untrusting, and able to see dire need and feel nothing. They can even live in continual violence and be seemingly unaffected. I

Worry that is either untrusting or distracting is very dishonorable to God. It
Thomas Watson (The Art of Divine Contentment: In Modern English)
In summary, serialization is dangerous and should be avoided. If you are designing a system from scratch, use a cross-platform structured-data representation such as JSON or protobuf instead. Do not deserialize untrusted data. If you must do so, use object deserialization filtering, but be aware that it is not guaranteed to thwart all attacks. Avoid writing serializable classes. If you must do so, exercise great caution.
Joshua Bloch (Effective Java : Programming Language Guide)
Being a genius doesn’t make you smart, happy, or successful. In fact, sometimes the opposite. Studies have shown that people with genius-level I.Q.s are often unhappy, alienated from the society around them, impatient with people of lesser intelligence, angry at how stupid and ignorant the world is, and generally self-absorbed and untrusting. In fact, they only trust themselves and they rarely take the advice of others.
Nelson DeMille (The Panther (John Corey, #6))
I wasn’t as untrusting. I had faith in the goodness of people, the perfection of love. What happened? Everything ends. And it’s how they end that leaves the lasting effect.
Zia Haider Rahman
Maybe I'm too jumpy, too untrusting. The thing is, once something bad happens, there's no way to undo it. There's no erase button on life. I can't just click the delete key and start over.
H.M. Ward (Damaged (Damaged, #1))
Alice in particular freaks me out a little – she’s so cute and innocent the majority of the time, but having been jilted by her ex-fiancé a few years ago she’s super untrusting and highly suspicious of me – it’s a side of her that loves to come out when she’s been on the vino, which is a little unnerving as she’s currently stood nursing a glass of red as she leans against the kitchen side and talks to Alastair in an animated fashion. Yes,
Giovanna Fletcher (Dream a Little Dream)
Would it do any harm, to make of him a dream-lover? It seemed invasive. How would she like it, after all, if she discovered she was starring in someone else’s pornographic daydreams? Horrified, yes? Disgusted, to be pawed over in some untrusted stranger’s thoughts. She imagined herself so portrayed in Miles’s thoughts, and checked her horror quotient. It was a little . . . weak.
Lois McMaster Bujold (A Civil Campaign (Vorkosigan Saga, #12))
No one ever touched me without wanting to kill me except for a healer on 6th Street and Ridgeley Tessa DiPietro recommended casually by a medium i no longer know She said my number one problem was my field was untrusting when asked what to do she paused and said nothing which sent me right into uncontrollable sobbing because there’s never anything you can do about the important things
Lana Del Rey (Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass)
So you'll let Lucien take you on hunts and-' 'Lucien,' I interrupted quietly but not softly, 'doesn't pretend to be anything what he is.' 'What's that supposed to mean?' he growled, but his claws stayed retracted, even as he clenched his hands into fists at his sides. I was definitely walking a dangerous line, but I didn't care. Even if he'd offered me sanctuary. I didn't have to fall at his feet. 'It means,' I said with that same cold quiet, 'That I don't know you. I don't know who you are, or what you really are, or what you want.' 'It means you don't trust me.' 'How can I trust a faerie? Don't you delight in killing and tricking us?' His snarl set the flames of the candles guttering. 'You aren't what I had in mind for a human- believe me.' I could almost feel the wound deep in my chest as it ripped open and all those awful, silent words came pouring out. Illiterate, ignorant, unremarkable, proud, cold- all spoken from Nesta's mouth, all echoing in my head with her sneering voice. I pinched my lips together. He winced and lifted a hand slightly, as if about to reach for me. 'Feyre,' he began- softly enough that I just shook my head and left the room. He didn't stop me. But that afternoon, when I went to retrieve my crumpled list from the wastebasket, it was gone. And my pile of books had been disturbed- the titles out of order.
Sarah J. Maas (A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1))
a leader who has demonstrated competence and is liked by her team will build trust and prompt risk-taking when she widely sunshines her own mistakes. Her company benefits. The one exception is for a leader considered unproven or untrusted. In these cases you’ll want to build trust in your competency before shouting your mistakes.
Reed Hastings (No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention)
You might be thinking, why would we want to help them solve some of their burning problem now, instead of straight up selling them our solution? Well, because scepticism is so rampant, people are so dubious and so untrusting in what people say they can do for them. They want to see it!
Sabri Suby (SELL LIKE CRAZY: How to Get As Many Clients, Customers and Sales As You Can Possibly Handle)
The scapegoated child may be very untrusting as an adult and may find it difficult not only to trust in intimate relationships, but also to trust other systems. There can be real fear that, within groups of friends, in school, or in work settings the scapegoating dynamic may replicate.

She sits up, and her smile is catlike---secretive, smug. Another reason I'm a dog person. Never trust a cat, they'll eat your face if you die. (I have no proof of this. Only a strong gut feeling.)
Emiko Jean (Tokyo Ever After (Tokyo Ever After, #1))
Would I have still turned out to be the same untrusting, skeptical human I've become had I experienced more good times than bad? Maybe so. Or maybe not. Sometimes I believe personalities are shaped more by damage than kindness.
Colleen Hoover (Heart Bones)

Anthony Stapley—who sank to the bottom of the school’s swimming pool through Maude’s cruelty, and who Jack whipped so hard he bore the scars on his buttocks into middle age—sees the legacy of his Maidwell years as twofold: “All these experiences we have through our days make us who we are: hardy, tough, resilient, determined,” while recognizing they’ve also left us “wary, untrusting and emotionally retarded/unstable.
Charles Spencer (A Very Private School: A Memoir)
