An Issue of Trust

Rate this Entry
I was debating on where to put this and have decided to put it here. Note to any and all that read this I have gone to some staff about this issue, but I still feel like I should, no need to post it up here on site.

As many of you know trust is a very big thing and a very big commitment, trusting someone means that you share a good deal of info with them and that they are someone you can turn to in times of great need. However trust is not given away freely no matter who the person is or their position. Well I have a trust issue with the staff here on EP in that I do not know who to fully trust anymore, even before leaving the site, for the short period of time that I did, I had the feeling that as a "whole" I could not really come to trust the EP staff 100%. Don't get me wrong there are those in the staff that I trust 100%, the count is at about 7 right now, with others slowly but surely making their way up the ladder.

Whatever anyone says I DO NOT play favorites never have never will. I am also very cautious about people in general having had no friends long ago and having to rely on my self and my parents for a while, which in turn is why I'm very cautious and very slow to trust some one completely. Some people that I've known for a very long time are at 99% trust, anyone new to me is at about 50% so they can swing either way others, those that I do know somewhat well I give the benefit of the doubt and thus they are at about 65% on my "Trust Scale." There are even times when I've thought about leaving any and all forums, no matter how boring that would make my life, just because I don't know who to trust, that is now happening again, not only here but elsewhere.

If this comes as a big shock to anyone, doubt it, then I'm glad. I've kept quiet for too long, it's time that you all see me for who I am at certain times. If this hurts anyone then I am sorry, but the who said the truth wouldn't hurt is a liar. Just so you all know it takes a lot of my nerves just to type this knowing that all will be able to see it. I would please ask the mods and admins not to take this to hard as it is just me and only me. I would also ask that if this causes an argument that Lightning_Mustang close this, delete it etc. and only Lightning_Mustang.

Don't be surprised if I go "underground" for a while, though I will continue to post in the Role Plays that I'm in so they can keep moving on.

To any members out there, don't be afraid to post up in the comments below. I don't care what, if anything, happens to me because of this blog other than getting this out of my system finally.

Sincerely,
Rashall Firemane

    This is one of the most, stunning things I've read, and I can definetly see your issue, but I won't say anymore than that because there is nothing I can say

    Trust is something you must earn, and I agree with and applaud this entry. Have you considered going to the Complaint Box section of the forums in Site Discussion? You can't/won't be punished for anything you say in that particular section. Even says so on the sub-forum text.

    Actually Rashall, i'm the complete opposite of you. :P

    I only stop trusting people if they give me a reason to. Call me a fool if you want, but trusting someone from the start is the best way to get to know them properly. Then you can figure out if you can actually keep trusting them. If they betray that trust... well, **** happens. I move on.

    Don't let trust issues get the better of you. It's not good for anything.

    Uh...we can talk about that later...

    On a more serious note: I'm sorry to see that you're having social issues. Hopefully, with time, they can be cleaned up and fixed, right? I'm sure nothing too bad can come of this.

    Wow, I'm really happy that you were able to get this out. It sounds like it wasn't easy, so kudos for going through with it. The Community Patrol are always willing to talk and try to help out any member of the site, so if you haven't (although it sounds like you have) talked with them yet, I would recommend doing so. I'm most likely not one of those 100% trusted, being fairly new and all, but do feel free to vent on me through Skype. Sounds like a difficult background, and I can empathize with what you must be going through. I hope you don't disappear from EPN, but will understand if you feel such action is needed. I really do hope it doesn't come to that though.
