Agree or Disagree: Trust builds trust?

No.

Actions portraying, indicating, or implying trust builds trust.

We are not omnipotent beings, which means our basis of thinking relies on past experiences. Thus, trust can only be established if we have first seen a demonstration of a capacity for being trusted.

I don't quite agree..... Building down trust is a very important issue for me. Because once trust has been shattered, the relationship is ended too. So, before I let this trust being destroyed, I examine carefully all parameters, all circumstances, all chances. I do not end relationships just in seconds. I give credit, I take my time. Not too much anyway!!! But, I try... And when finally I conclude that there is no hope, that the person is not trustworthy, I walk out the relationship with no guilt at all, no hard feelings. Because I know I have given all the chances possible and they proved wrong....

For some people... it takes a long time to trust others.

Trust isn't automatically given in return every time.

I have learned not everyone is worthy of trusting, even if they say they are.

People will say they want to be your friend and not really mean it.

People will say you can trust them and turn around to do something hurtful to you.

With me... trust is earned and not given easily. The people who have earned my trust are

ones who took the time to build trust and show they were worthy of it.

What you are asking may be true for some or many, but not all. If somebody entrusts me with something, I don't feel obligated to return the favor.

Trust builds trust.... In a sense, that's true. The more someone shows they are trustworthy and remains that way, the more I may decide I can trust them. On the other hand, some want more trust than others feel it's okay to give.

I'm not explaining this as well as I'd like to. Trust is different for everyone and people won't always return trust, just because it's given.

No trust isn't an automatic. We sometimes like to think the other would trust us when we show trust in them. Trust should be a two way street but I keep hitting dead ends. For the life of me, I still don't know why I continue to have trust and faith.

Trust is something earned, not given freely. If you trust somebody that hasn't yet earned it then you have only yourself to blame when they break that false sense of trust. It would be incredibly naive to assume somebody will trust you simply because you have offered a false sense of trust for them.

People who have trust issues usually do so because they are not trustworthy to begin with.

Yes you have to give trust in order to gain trust

Yes, You have trust and you add some more trust to make someone trustworthy.

it takes two to build trust without it you have nothing.& i believe being honest with a person builds trust too

agree. you can't really trust someone unless you give them the opportunity to prove they are trustworthy.

well yes, if you doubt someone they can think "why bother proving them wronge" but if you trust them they could think "they trust me i wont let them down"
