The Impact of Trust Steven Covey said, “Trust is the glue of life. It 's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It 's the foundational principle that holds all relationships (Covey, 2017).” We unknowingly have trust in many individuals: doctors, firefighters, pilots, and many more. Trust impacts us every day. It impacts our relationships with family, friend, colleagues, and even strangers. We all have different levels of trust in our lives depending on our environment and the people we interact with. Trust starts at birth, develops through a person’s lifetime, and will impact their future and their relationship with others.
Overview of Trust Erik Erikson believes that trust starts at birth, and your level of trust

My class mate couldn’t fully fall backwards because she couldn’t make herself vulnerable. The real question is, “Who do we trust?” A study by Maxwell J. Mehlman tried to answer this question with a research study. In his study, he found that people tend to be more trusting with people of authority (Mehlman, 2016). This study makes a lot of sense to me. We unknowingly trust people like doctors, teachers, and many others. Bruce Compton said we tend to trust people of authority because of respect (Compton, 2015). Because there is already a visual of the person you have respect with, it is very easy to have trust with that person (Compton, 2015).
How Trust Has shaped me I have always had trust issues throughout my whole life. It was always difficult to trust my friends in school. Since I was ten years old, I was bullied because of my looks and weight. I could never really trust my friends because I was always worried they would go and make fun of me. I was put through the ultimate test of trust my senior year or high school. I had to put a lot of trust into a group of doctors. My journey started when I went to the dermatologist for my acne. My doctor had me get a blood test to check my hormone levels to see if that was the cause. What the test revealed was that my free-testosterone level was triple what it should have been. From there, they referred me to an OBGYN. I then got an ultrasound that revealed a
Trust has to be earned by everyone. Trust is a very serious word, because it can mean so much to one person. It's usually pretty hard to gain trust and if you break the trust it’s really hard to gain it back. There’s people out there that you can never trust. These people do anything to help themselves out and only care about themselves.
Trust is not something that is easily earned or given once you’ve proven yourself to be someone that cannot have that confidence placed in them. Trust is not a one-way street either. A person has to make the decision to trust someone, and the person that is being trusted has to decide if they want to live up to that expectation or not. Trust is not some sort of blind faith in a person. Trust is having confidence in your decision to be open and exposed emotionally to someone else. It is not something that you have to place in anyone in your life. It is up to you to decide weather or not you want to grant your trust to someone, and if you feel that they are worthy of it.
From The Speed of Trust, it is acknowledged that self-trust enables us to establish and sustain trust from all levels. Trust affects us personally and professionally because, when we trust another person, we’re putting faith in them. We have a sense in confidence where as if there’s a task that needs to be done, the person we trust is a key reliable source. Trust, is also important because, it’s a key ingredient of chemistry. Chemistry is everywhere in sports, school, work environment, at home, you name it. If you don’t have trust with someone or a group a people it affects everyone involved. For instance, say if you’re in a group project and you don’t have the same trust in a teammate as your other group mates, you might hide information away from that person. Or give that
One characteristic that makes trust unique is its fragility. To gain the trust of others, one must continuously prove one’s honesty and reliability. To gain complete trust of someone can take years, but can be lost in a single moment. An example of how delicate trust can really be is in marriage. The married couple must constantly be honest with each other to gain real trust. This bond can be easily broken if one of the spouses is caught cheating. Trust in another person can make one feel loved and supported, while broken trust can lead to the feeling of anger and
There are many different form of trust that can expand our expectations and deepen our views. The trust you have with your parents may be very similar for the trust you have with your siblings. As a young child you mainly only trust your parents, who provides you with food, shelter, clothing and extra wants. As a child you are helpless, leaving your trust in your parents, to provide you with basic needs to be healthy, is what I believe the child's first trust instinct is. Next, as you get older and begin play with your siblings, you start to rely on them to keep you safe. You trust that they will keep you out of the street, when you are playing in the front yard or not let you get lost in the grocery store while your parents are shopping. You trust your siblings just as much as your parents to provide you with safety, fun and needs. Then, you experience trust with your friends. This can be shown by relying on each other, keeping each other safe and believing that they will be there for you when you need it most. As you grow older, trust grows to new expectations forcing you to constantly learn. The different types of trust we experiences teaches us different life lessons that stays with us forever. Throughout our lives, everyone wants to be trusted and experience trust with someone
What exactly is trust and why does it matter? “Trust is one’s willingness to be vulnerable to another based on the confidence that the other is benevolent, honest, open, reliable, and competent” (Tschannen-Moran, 2004, pg. 17). Trust is a word that has numerous definitions based on the word being so difficult to define. I think the author does a great job of helping define what trust is because of the word vulnerable. You have to be willing to be vulnerable to someone if you want to
When we consider popular social theory, trust indicates a certain belief and a sense of assurance that is based on strong but not logically-conclusive evidence, or based on some ones character, their ability, or truth that someone or something has shown over a period of time or over experiences. Trust makes for a sense of being safe or of being free of fear, enough so that one 's focus can be on other matters (Spirithome, 2005). Key elements of this definition are its dependence on the foundation of character, its ability and a sense of being safe. Trust is also a public good, according to noted sociologist Giovanni Sartor (Sartor, 2003). Sartor stated if there was no trust, co-operation would end, and the whole fabric of society would collapse. Trust can be defined as the “belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective.” Merriam-
Trust is the deadliest weapon available to mankind that is capable decimating relations with people who one may have known for a whole life time. Someone's words and actions carry the capacity of ruining an unbreakable bond that took years to build. So the real question is, why bother to trust when it will end an individual's inevitable treachery. However, some say that they can trust others to be faithful because they trust ordinary people everyday, but others say that they cannot trust others to be faithful because they will always be betrayed. Moreover, people must never trust another individual to be faithful because humans will always resort to their selfish nature and put themselves first.
Trust is incredibly important, in some cases trust may even lead to a punishment. Throughout the movie Finding Forester it is shown how trust will effect a relationship with Jamal and Forrester. Forrester is an older man who is a writer, Jamal, who is a high school aged boy has a passion for writing. Jamal regularly visits Forrester which enables them to not only gain trust, but also helps Jamal find a mentor who helps him revise and edit his papers. Professor Crawford lacks trust and accuses Jamal of plagiarizing then creates a conflict for Jamal. One can develop trust in comfortable places, if one has little trust a conflict may arise; meanwhile, if one has deep trust it may also cause a conflict.
A thesaurus gives a glance at the synonyms of trust: confidence, belief, reliance, all positive emotions that allow us to intimately connect. Yet the thesaurus will only give the reader that single, miniscule glance: Is trust really only confidence? Only simple reliance on someone or something?
What is trust? Trust is having to be able to have belief and hope in someone or something. Trust is not something easily attainable as it requires you to fully dive into something taking all risk without hesitation. I believe humans struggle and have an inability to trust one another in response get along with each other. This can be split into three categories including human nature, past experience, and social media/idols. I myself have struggled with these issues.
So let’s break it down, and, while we are considering the components that create this thing called TRUST, question your level of self-trust. This is important because it is the same as self-love in the fact that you have to have it for yourself before you give it away.
This draws us to the question on why we must trust people in our lives. Trust is a necessary bond for the foundation of any relationship that seeks to flourish. If you do not trust someone, you do not expect them to uphold their promises to you without asking. Furthermore, trust is a bond that should not be forced or

Trust. It is probably one of the most important things someone could gain in this world. Trust is an emotion that can be formed by being dependable.
