Scorpio Trust

Hey everyone,
I am a newbie and have been reading up on my sign in the last year or so. Anyway, a scorpio's suspiciousness is supposedly a universal sign trait. So, how do you deal with not trusting? With friends? Significant others?

I'm thinking that this is a scorp/virgo trait, but I can see people for their true colors. Then I test what I can see of them to see if they're for real. If not, then I don't and won't trust them. If they show me who they are for real, then they have my trust, love, and protection. Without that gift of seeing people for who they really are though, I don't think I would ever trust a soul.

If I find a reason not to trust someone, I usually observe their behavior and once I see that they're not trustworthy, I call them out on their behavior and cut them off. I don't call them, don't talk to them anymore. Pretty much they cease to exist to me.

Pessimism isn't my stye.The only thing I guess would fall into this is I don't throw myself out there fully unless theres one of those instant connections between me and this new person.Could say intuition but that'd be crazy and stupid so I've been just lucky thusfar.Otherwise it's the natural process of getting to know each other and taking notes to decifer whether someone is not trustworthy.They do have the option of being forgiven and coming clean though.
