Do you give
 

Do you give the benifit of the dought of someone or do you go straight in and accuss them of something, just want to know i always give the benifit . like to think that most people are good :?

i usually accuse them in my own mind without saying anything. i have quite a quick mind and one which is good at deducing certain things, but sometimes i **** up and get it completely wrong.

Me too, i always think that people are good ( maybe a little naive sometimes :? ) and that have made me be very disappointed with some people lattely :(

I'm guilty of doing that too :oops:

I give the benefit of the doubt too much. I need to be more suspicious, I think. I tend to believe in the good in people and look for reasons rather than just jumping to conclusions or accusations. Hence, I often get burned.

Same here. :(

I give people the benefit of the doubt cos im nice like that :)

No, I don't trust anyone :( I know it's bad, but i can be objective sometimes.

I go very strong on my first instincts, good or bad. Then it is up to the person to prove me wrong. So I do give people the benefit of the doubt. I also believe that everyone is allowed to make a mistake, but just the one, if you repeat that mistake with me, you're history!

:( i'm the same. I try my best to trust people - I just believe that there are a lot of lieing people in the world, and i always suspect all of them live in interaction with me - and once they do one little bad thing i have the worse time forgiving them...to the point of tough grudge holding :(
