Trust

I am not going to introduce myself, i see no point. I am sure that the only people who will be reading this blog already know me (hi jazz, jack, dani, ellen, hannah? anyone else xx), if you don't already know me then feel free to look at my facebook profile, search James Hutt Bedford Modern School. hmm i bet nobody does.
Anyway, I will explain the title of my blog next time, or maybe the time after, today's post links just a little bit with it.
so what is trust? I wasn't actually that sure, but apparently it is :
1.
reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.
2.
confident expectation of something; hope.

to name just 2 definitions of many.
i was also interested what is trustworthy?
1. deserving of trust or confidence; dependable; reliable... not very helpful

and apparently this is me? I have no idea why, but i can't help feeling trusted
throughout the last few years, lots of people come to me when they have a problem, they tell me things that i am "not allowed to pass on", and the thing is, i find this really quite hard.
i am exstatic that people trust me, but i just cannot fathom why, i have a history of letting things slip, i am loud and take the piss, yet still people confide in me.
i also have the ability to persuaade people to tell me stuff, its easy, you listen to them, and enquire politely. I am sorry, don't hate me for this, i am genuinely interested in what all my mates have to say, i do genuinely listen but it is so easy to get them to tell you something.
so the answer i am looking for is what do you consider trustworthy? am i just being big headed (wouldn't surprise me) or do people trust me? and why? btw i do appreciate your trust, don't forget it, i will try not to betray it

so after adressing trust in me, i just want to say something about my trust in other people, often i have been to trusting and regretted it. this should change me but i know it won't, and i know the reason why, there are so many people in my life who i can trust, i can't name you all but hopefully you know who you are. and thank you, for all the times you have just listened when i needed to talk to someone but didn't want it getting out, thank you, for proving i can trust you, and thank you for trusting me in return.
trust, its an odd thing.
