    In what way are you ( sometimes ) your own worst enemy? :)

    I'm my own worst enemy when I say "yes" to something I really mean "no" to.

    Too trusting - but I'm learning :p
    Having said that - I don't trust the big guns at all - I do a lot of shooting when they're around :p

    I have a problem of trusting everyone and sometimes it does not work out. Then it becomes an education which is not bad either. My uncle would say the best thing he ever did was give twenty dollars to a person who never gave it back. He said it only cost him twenty dollars to find out just what kind of a person they were and that was cheap they might of ask for more.

    I analyze everything too much....or so I told years ago. Trust but verify is my motto.... I think it was Regan who said this first.

    I am my worst enemy when I let people walk all over me. I know I am being taken advantage of and seethe inside. Not good for my personal well being.

    I am waaaay too trusting, and it's caused me a lot of hurt by trusting people that didn't and don't deserve it in any way shape or form.

    I also live in a state of high anxiety most of the time..I worry about the smallest little thing...definitely not good for me.. but caused by the aforementioned trust issues...

    Letting people, especially family members, take advantage of me even when I know I shouldn't. I'm getting better at saying no.

    That was pretty much my life for most of my life too @Holly Saunders...but living life that way was not living at all to me...one day I surrendered it all to the God I believe in and told Him from now on I was only going to trust in Him to show me who and when I should give my trust...and that was the best choice I ever made. :)

    I think its a common condition, we've reached an age where we look back on all the hurt that's gone on
    My solution was to put it away to the back of my mind and focus on the here and now
    which is mainly health related :rolleyes: So its time to consider yourself
