do you trust everyone you’ve added as friends/followers/etc on social media or do you feel you don’t need to trust them

ehh I've added people I've only met once. There's a certain level of trust there for me to add them in the first place, but I also keep a low profile on there now

Trust is something to be earned, while I'm careful to friend people online I generally do so as I've had no reason not to trust them rather than trusting them.

no, I do not trust they will always be nice or friendly or will understand me. I have experienced like out of the blue hate and aggression due to maybe cultural or language related problems or maybe also character differences. It hurts to get accused or attacked when I meant no harm. But I see there are people out there who take on things differently. So it is like in real life, some will grow on me and some don't. The former get my trust during the course of getting better acquainted.

I don't add people they add or follow me and I accept or don't accept. Also the 2nd

the latter, I don't really put people in a position of trust, a few have my number and I guess that's something
