Not trusting others easily can sometimes be a way to protect yourself, but at the same time avoid being overly suspicious of others, as this can affect normal social and interpersonal relationships. Here are some ways you can help be more cautious with others:
Be rational and objective:When getting to know someone new or facing a new situation, keep thinking rationally and look at things with an objective eye. Don't be too emotional in your judgments.
Understand the behavior and context of others:Get to know others by observing their mannerisms and context. Talk to them and see if their behavior matches their words.
Be cautious about sharing personal information:When interacting with strangers, don't share personal information too easily. Protect your privacy and security.
Consider the risks and consequences:Consider the possible risks and consequences before making a decision. Weigh the pros and cons and don't make a rash decision.
Observe the signal:Watch for others to behave in line with your expectations and see if there are any signs of contradiction or inconsistency.
Build trust step by step:Trust needs to be built gradually, don't start with all the trust in others. Build trust gradually through interaction and time.
Listen to your gut instincts:Sometimes intuition can give you some important signals, so if you're feeling uneasy or uncertain, listen to your intuition.
Most importantly, be cautious but not overly suspicious, and maintain a balance. Different situations require different approaches, and taking into account the specific situation and rational judgment is the key to vigilance without losing trust.
