How could you make others believe that you are trustworthy?

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, I would bring you and remind you by natural things. Sandle-wood tree need not explain and prove that it is cool and gives out good fragrane. let good people do their jobs and their deeds would smell to everyone and one will attain to be trust-worthy. After someone makes request here for friendship, I always accede to request, without going into profile. Why i should think that one is bad. Why not we learn lesson from 'Bishop and the candle stick'. Why at all one has to prove one's trustworthyness. let everyone do tehir own job as per nature. May God bless You and have a great time.

Hi Deepak! I usually never put any extra efforts or something like that to make people to trust me. I will just be myself and straight forward in all matters so that my friends virtual or online trust me because they know what I am... In making friends I will choose those who are straight forward.. How about you?

Deepak, I strongly believe that trust is earned. It comes over a period of time and cannot be enforced. I trust a few people and it too has developed over a period of time. In my personal opinion, it would be wrong to enforce the thought of making people believe i'm trustworthy. They will make a decision for themselves once they get to know me better. If they make a decision that i am not trustworthy, then there is nothing i can try to force them but only give it time and be my natural self.

Hi deeepak Hope you must be doing well. u know deepak in every cases, its hard to believe on words and gaining trust. only time can prove it and how well u go on with some one. Well it took me to time some one, but one thing, i always believe that other person is telling me truth and not lieing to me Take care

I have never taken any efforts to try and convince anyone that I am trust worthy. I dont think I could do that. I have made quite a few friends in the virtual world who are trustworthy. You are one among them whom I know I could always trust. I do not very easily trust people though.

hello again my friend! well, i agree with you that its indeed difficult to trust someone specially in this virtual world...but for me, actually, i don't really exert effort just to prove to someone that i am trustworthy...i just let them feel it...and see it for themselves...the only that i am doing is, being consistent on what i am saying and being true to my words, i think...and somehow i know, my friends will definitely feel my sincerity on what i am saying even if they don't know me personally... with me, i trust people that i meet on line, but i don't give too much trust...you know, we still need to be careful...like what i have said, more or less, we will able to feel who to trust and not...we can feel it through their words...and i just believe on what they are saying about them...so if they lie about it, then its not my problem anymore...coz they are just cheating themselves and that they are the one who have been sinned... but for sure i will be careful in trusting someone specially for those personal matters about me...cheaters are all around... have a good day my friend!

Hi, Well i trust my family members, I dont hide things to them and they dont hide things to me. So i can proudly say that iam honest to atleast some people. Other than that i dont trust anyone quickly. You cant do that in my nature of work. More than that trust is like some thing which is either 100 % or 0 %. There is nothing between that. You can't say that you trust some body 50 %. It means u dont trust that person at all. Also i believe trust is something which can be broken only once in life. There is no second chance in trusting as far as iam concerned. Cheers, Tutul

I don't try to make people trust me. Either they will or they won't I just tell the truth , period. In time they will find mr trustworthy or not. It is up to them. Me? I assume everyone is telling me the truth until they lie to me . When they do, I assume that everything they say from that moment on is a lie.

I am me LOL I am a trustworthy person if someone deals with me for some time, they will see who I am. That's about it. I guess if someone is checking - for a job or something - they can certainly ask people who know me , check my references. I don't really feel I have to show what I am, people just have to deal with me and see. Although I am told that I come across as someone responsible and reliable even for the ones who don't know me. But I really prefer that people take the time to know me so they can experience for themselves who and what I am. When I meet someone, I don't really trust or distrust. I just accept the person for what he/she is. I don't really confide my deepest secrets ( LOL )to that person or deposit any special trust issues. Not because I don't trust the person, just because I wouldn't do so to someone I don't really know. I am usually quite open about my life, so some things might seem that are being said because I trust, but in reality is isn't. It's time that will get me closer to that person - or not - and will bring some more personal insight where I believe trust is needed. SO I guess that will put me in the bracket of people that take time to trust someone, which is not exactly correct because I am a person that believes in the best of each one. But yeah, I am careful, so that can qualify me as not that trusting.

Hi I think we can’t make anybody to trust us and trust should be earned by ourselves through our behavior/deeds etc. when we speak to somebody either through phone or chat or directly, I think the other person can more or less understand our nature. So it depends on the third person how he/she can observe us or analyze us. If we do something to gain the trust it will give opposite result, I think so. Better to behave as our own style. Regarding trusting to other people, with some interactions we will get an idea.

In the online world, to gain another's trust, well I'd first have to think about that. How much trust do I want to gain? Do I really need to or want to gain this trust? How long will I be needing this person to trust me? I know this sounds very... wrong, but I can assure you that in the real world I work hard to gain trust when needed, but I feel that I am a trustworthy person anyway. I trust easily as well, and maybe in some instances I've trusted way too easily. I can't say that I haven't been burnt and have stopped trusting so easily, but at the same time I don't think it's effected me so much that I am completely solid when it comes to whom I communicate with.

Hello deepak! My husband and I met online and to tell you honestly, it takes time for me to trust him wholeheartedly. I think it took 2 years before I was able to tell that I trust him and that this man is the whom I want to be with in the future. After 3 years of chatting, we're married and now we're living together and our love to each other keeps going strong.

Hi deepak! I think that trust just takes time. I do trust to a certain extent my relationships online but I also take precautions with most as to the info they have access to. As far as proving that I am trustworthy...all I can do is to be myself and hope that it comes in time.

Hello Deepak. What a great topic! I used to trust most people right at the start, but since I've been through some difficult and hurtful things with people I trusted immensely, I have learned to be more cautious. I believe that online as well as anywhere, the best way to earn trust is to BE trustworthy. Be honest, forthright, respectful, and reliable as an online friend, worker, or confidant. Earning trust often takes time and patience, but by being sincere and honest, we should not worry about it. :) Karen

Dear Deepak, I personally dont think that you have to put an effort to prove your trustworthyness. In my case, I just be myself and trust my heart and instincts. I try to be logical and practical. I do not try to get in other's way. I respect the other's view and when discussing I try to walk in the other's shoe. It may be not successful all the time, but it goes somewhere. I dont try to put my ideas first. If I feel that the other is not comfortable with me or I am not comfortable with the other, I let go smoothly. It has worked like a charm so far Deepak, so I think its a good system for me. I like to know how others feel. This is interesting discussion and hope a lot would respond. Take care.

I an a person who is very easily cheated by others. Elders say, if you burn your fingers, you will learn a lesson. But in my case several times I have burnt but still I believe people and not learnt lesson. Service people ask for advance and the way they cut sorry figure, I take pity and give money. Then neither they will return the money nor will they come to attend to any work like plumbing, electric or even private taxi as they are afraid that they will have to return the money that is taken and it will be deducted from the charges and by attending to our house work, they will not get any money since it will be adjusted in the due amount. Even now one plumber took some loan and there is some problem at home and in spite of several phone calls, he is not coming to attend to that work. AS for as I am concerned, we cannot open our heart and show that we are trustworthy. But by our words, actions and good past history may be we can make others know about our worthiness to an extent.

I think the answer is as simple as being trustworthy. If you let your track record show this whether online or in person it will show this. As far as proving it, everyone will have their own measure of what is proof. It may take time for others that it would take take from others. I suppose you could join websites such as ehow, just answer, and so on to show that you are reliable and knowledgeable and helping others. Being an expert in something always boosts your trustworthiness.

i think just by getting to know someone and experiencing things with them you get a sense of whether or not you can trust them. also if someone talks about other people behind their backs you can be sure they talk about you too. i do not feel i have to prove myself to anyone as i know i am trustworthy so i guess they just have to make their own judgements.

All i know is that i am being honest in all of my opinions and ideas that i share here on mylot. It is up to my friends on here to believe or trust me , i know it is hard to do that on here. We are not sure if the person we make friends with on here are true or not. But i trust my intuition, when i look at a friends' profile and find satisfaction with what i find on their profile then i begin to trust them. so, i begin to make friends with them and so far, i have made quite a few friends on here whom i trust and i think, they trusts me too. That is what makes mylot a place to enjoy for me, because i get to exchange ideas and opinins with people i have never met but whom i can make a nice conversation with. Have a blessed Sunday my friend.

I would guide people to my writings online and hopefully these would give an insight into who I am and that fact that I am an honest and decent person. I use my real name and my photo is posted in some places. I don’t always trust straight away although I do have an extra sense of some sort in regards to who I can rely on. It is a difficult one. Online it is tough to differentiate between a fake and a genuine individual.
