The fact that you talked with me about it was pretty much what I was going for.
You can want to work with others and not trust them completely at the onset. Trust is something that is given and has to be earned. It ain't all one or the other. Just because you don't go trusting someone completely right when you meet them don't mean you can't have co-existence. Sometimes you gotta have a bit of faith in people and get to know them. That don't mean you gotta tell them everything about yourself from day 1. You can still have self-preservation in mind.
