Is It So Much To Ask?

I wish people would be more up-front, direct, and honest with me instead of just leading me on.

Is it really that much to ask for?

I'm a big hater of dishonesty, lying, and the betrayal of trust. Normally I don't give second chances to people who betray my trust. Normally I don't give second chances to people when I can't be sure if they're telling me the truth or not. Not because I'm "holier than thou" or because I'm mean, but because I'm afraid of being hurt. I'm naive and quick to give all my trust to people, even when they don't necessarily deserve it...

So why can't people respect me and be honest and up-front with me about the way they feel in certain situations? Why do they have to play me for a fool and betray my trust? Why do they have to hurt me like that, on such a deep level?

It only makes me second guess my actions, rethink certain situations, and spoil specific moods. Is that really good for anyone? Or is it just that it's fun to put me through the ringer?

Perhaps the problem is I've given way too many chances...
