Optimists are hopeful.
We have faith in humanity.
We have faith in most people.
It takes a lot to lose that faith.
Lately, I have realized that I have not put as much faith in some people as I thought I had or as I should. It's not their fault. I suppose it's another one of my self defense mechanisms. Sometimes I assume people will disappoint me, or I expect nothing at all, in which case I won't be disappointed. Well that's wrong and cowardly. I am not a coward. So from here on out, I will have expectations (reasonable ones of course) and I will not jump to conclusions.
I guess it's part of the trust issue. I don't want to be the kind of woman who is bitter toward and condescending of men. I never have been and I don't think that would happen even if I tried (I might have tried...).
