I used to like living in my head. Because in there, everyone is kind and innocent. So fragile, selfless, and good. Once I started integrating myself into the world, I realize that people aren't the ones I expected them to be. That's when I started to have difficulties on trusting other people. I had my trust issues.
It is kinda similar to my other article about the Different Versions of YOU in People's Minds. I often do that, a lot. Once I meet this certain person, I also start to create an imaginative version of him/her in my head. A projection of my aspiration and hope. And then one day, they'll let me down. They'll not be the ones inside my head anymore. And it's quite disappointing. The cycle of it is really disappointing.
But then, I got to read this qoute:
"People who have trust issues only need to look in the mirror. There, they will meet the one person that will betray them the most."
I came to realize that it's pretty accurate. I often focus on other people disappointing me, but I never got to look at myself. I am busy judging people and yet, I couldn't judge myself for disappointing me as well. For continuously letting me down with the things I want and didn't achieve. For not meeting the standard I created for myself.
And all this time, it's okay for me. I give myself another chance to prove and do things. And I should also do that to other people.
It is true that people aren't always what we want them to be. Sometimes, or should I say most of the times, they disappoint us and let us down. But we have to give them a chance first. We can't just meet someone and expect them to be everything we're looking for and then be angry when they're not every hope and aspiration we projected them to be. It's foolish to believe that someone will be what we imagined them to be. And sometimes, when we give them a chance, they turn out to be better than that imagination and version we created inside our head. Different, but better.
