‘I dont trust people’ can also mean, ‘I dont trust myself around them’.
When someone says they don’t trust people, it can reflect a lack of confidence in their own ability to handle interactions or situations involving others. This could stem from past experiences where they may have felt betrayed, hurt, or manipulated by others, leading to a general distrust of people. Additionally, it may indicate a lack of self-assurance in their own judgment or decision-making abilities, fearing that they may be easily swayed or influenced by others’ intentions. Overall, the statement suggests a complex interplay between personal experiences, perceptions of others, and one’s own self-confidence.

Check In On Those Around You
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget to check in on others. Yet, reaching out and offering support, especially concerning mental health, can make a significant impact. Depression affects millions globally, irrespective of age, gender, or background. Simply checking in, via text, call, or lending an ear, can provide vital support to someone silently struggling.
Recognizing signs of depression, such as persistent sadness or changes in behaviour, is crucial. Encouraging professional help for those showing such signs is essential. Checking in fosters a culture of care and compassion within communities, providing vital support during tough times.
Furthermore, checking in benefits our own mental health, reinforcing connections and empathy. In a world where technology often replaces face-to-face interactions, regular check-ins are crucial. Let’s prioritize reaching out to loved ones, ensuring they feel supported and valued, especially regarding mental health. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels understood and supported.
At times, it can be obvious when someone is struggling to cope.
But sometimes, the signs are harder to spot.
Check in on those around you.
