Trust?

I have really been reflecting on my relationships, the trust issue in particular. I think I am naturally naive and too easy to trust people. For this reason I tend to keep to myself and mind my own bussiness. I guess this is my protective mechanism from becoming involved with dishonest, untrust-worthy people. I was never a quiet person, but I have learned to keep quiet and to keep to myself to avoid icky  situations. Often my quietness is mistaken for being anti-social and unfriendly. I just don't like drama. I don't want to start trusting someone, then find out they are untrustworthy  after I am already close to them. My query is "how do you deal with someone very close who is dishonest and often untrustworthy". At what point do you stop forgiving the dishonesty? At what point do you stop trying to re-build trust?
