Being Betrayed, Misunderstood, And Forgotten Had Never Crossed My Mind

To me trust is being able to count on someone during good times and during bad times.

Friendships are constructed over time through the innuendo of mutual trust. Time is the only factor that gains trust and cannot be expected or granted to. There are plenty of circumstances where the absence of trust was the misnomer for failure in relationships. We can place trust at the highest point in the pyramid of morals, but how do

During this stage of life our ability to trust or not trust can go either way. It will depend on whether or not the person had a traumatic experience or not. The time spend on this stage is about 20 years (between 18-40 years of age) a lot can happen in 20 years. However, if there were no traumatic experiences during that stage the person’s ability to trust should still be positive. Consequently, if the person was raised in a trusting environment he/she can be selective and cautions as to whom to trust. (Page 161)

Human vulnerability stems from mistakes in conversation and trust comes from our vulnerability. Vulnerability in relationships comes from the mistakes that we make. Mistakes are what Turkle points to as being the reason for relationships being rich and messy (42). We make mistakes because we have to translate how we think into something that other people can understand. Communication is getting over that translation and the mistakes that we make are a part of

However, with all great aspects comes some not so great characteristics. Trust was something I should not have placed in him. It would take me years to find out how badly it would affect me.

Research shows that many of us don’t follow through on the goals we set or don’t keep the promises and commitments we make to ourselves. When we repeatedly fail to make and keep commitments to ourselves, it hacks away at our self-confidence. This lack of self trust undermines our ability to trust others.

“Trust: belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective, etc.” (Merriam- Webster Dictionary). Distrust in a relationship occurs when the trust between two people is diminished. Distrust can have many negative affects on a person including: trust issues, anxiety, suspicion, fear of opening up, etc. Symptoms of distrust can depend on the severity of the distrust in the

Betrayal of trust often causes unforeseen consequences, harms relationships, and results in internal and external

According to Erikson’s Nine Stages of Psychosocial Development, “Trust vs. Mistrust,” trust and, or, mistrust is experienced from as young as infancy. I first experienced trust when I was just an infant. Since my birth, my parents have been entrepreneurs, specializing in home decorations and home improvement. Where ever my parents went, I went, which is the reason why I found trust in them. I always knew that I would be right by my parents side at all times. Both parents pulled an equal amount of responsibility while raising me and my other four siblings, with each of us being two years apart. As claimed by my parents, I started walking at only five months and I did not crawl on my knees, as babies usually do, for a long. My parents also

Having trust makes one fell safe and free of fear enough so that they can focus on other things.

"If you get off on the wrong foot, the relationship may never be completely right again. It's easier to rebuild trust after a breach if you already have a strong relationship." (Live Science. 2009)

When I hear the word trust I think of friends. You have to have a lot of trust in your friends and they need to be able to trust you. I have a huge amount of trust in my best friend, I tell her everything. There are some people who say that you can trust them, but then it turns out that you can’t and they’ve told everyone your secret. I think that trust is confiding in a person or people that you know if you say, “don’t tell anyone,” they won’t tell anyone. For instance, in Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence kept Romeo and Juliet’s trust by not telling anyone about their marriage. I think that Romeo and Juliet trusted each other enough

Trust is a value that was very hard for me to learn. I was always afraid that someone was going to hurt me one way or another. My mother was always telling me that I should learn to trust others so that they could help me from time to time, but I never could do it. Eventually I finally learned to trust others a few years ago. I have realized that other people can do many things for you if you just trust in them. This helps me in the relationships I have with my friends. Trust doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. I have learned that trusting certain people is worth the risk, and helps the relationships I have with them.

Trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. From the time, we were born in an infant stage babies interaction with the mother determines whether an attitude of trust or mistrust will be incorporated into his/her personality. When the mother responds to the infant’s physical need and provide ample affection such as love and security, then the infant will develop a sense of trust. Therefore, when the mother is inattentive, resentful or inconsistent in her behavior, the infant develops an attitude of mistrust, and will become anxious and fearful.

According to Dettmer, Knackendoffel, & Thurston (2009), when we have trust, others are more likely to:
