Do you trust yourself?

Of course I trust myself. I’m an independent person. Something is correct when its contain rational value. I suggest that first of all you must adopt your belief(not spiritual)/value first. When you do that you must always defend and stick with your chosen belief/value.

I always do what feels right, even if it’s wrong. Within reason.

I have no idea if I truly know myself, but I’m fairly certain that I know myself much better than anyone knows me, so if I’m gonna fall down pits and hit dead ends, might as well that I make it my own fault.

I wouldn’t trust myself further than I can throw myself, and I’m fat and out of shape.

Seriously, you look at the architecture of the brain, and you’ll see that the highest evolved areas have to go through the lowest ones. That means your animal instincts get veto power over the reality you experience and the actions you take. Your brain is constantly filtering out extranea, as judged by some nebulous criteria you can’t access or change. It takes phenomenonal will power to do something your body doesn’t want you to do – it’ll rob you of your get up and go when you you want to exercise, or find a convenient excuse for why you can’t give to charity.

Personally, I trust myself for all matters that pertain to my own well-being, but I wouldn’t further than that.

I think you trust yourself, but you only fear if your decisions will result into something not what you’ve expected it to be

No, often I don’t. Sometimes I will get really excited about something expensive in a store and buy it…or just loose control in some way. It’s awful! I’m just really excitable and passionate so I get swept away easily.

I do.
I know right from wrong and I act in my own rational self-interest,therefore I trust my judgement.

Self discovery is the greatest platform of confidence and security.
Knowing who you are completes the picture,
then, with each step you take you will feel confident and secure and trusting in your each and every action.

I don’t trust that what I imagine is reality even exists. Although I don’t think my pygmy self can really fuck it up.

Yes. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one I can trust.

Heck no!

Yes, I trust myself to do the best I can do in any given situation and it’s doesn’t get much better than that.

Whenever I find myself not trusting myself, I ask myself why I don;t trust me on whatever issue it is, then I argue with me about the false impressions I have that lead me to feel that way. I identify how my self talk has been full of spin and distortions making me look untrustworthy when the truth is I am the most reliable, normal person there is—trust me on that.

I absolutely trust myself. I don’t understand myself, but I trust myself. In fact, I trust myself more than I trust me. That sounds weird, doesn’t it?

Myself is all of me. Mind and body. Particularly, my behaviors. Me is the thinker. The consciousness. Only the part of me that I am aware of.

Sometimes (more often, lately) I find myself doing things that I don’t understand. My “me” self thinks this is the wrong thing to do. Myself does it anyway.

When this happens, I assume that “myself” knows more than “me” does. It is me’s job to try and figure out why myself is doing what I do. I don’t understand it, and I can’t figure it out, but I know that it is vitally important to let myself go ahead, despite the craziness myself exhibits. I don’t know why I know this. I just do. And besides, there’s nothing I can do about it. Myself always wins out over me.

@wundayatta
Me, Myself and Irene.

@SeventhSense Damn! How could I have forgotten Irene?!?

I trust my gut reactions, I trust my perspective and retrospect of experiences, I trust my intentions. I don’t trust most other people though.
