Trust is somthing earned do you agree?

I agree trust is earned, however I find I imply immediate trust. As it is thereafter if a person can maintain the trust and or breaks it that I would then have a difficult time re-trusting. For me again, even if we do not trust right away as the friendship/relationship is new to an extent we actually do trust as it is growing daily. It is after that one of them causes it to break that I find that it is then they have to earn it.

It needs a long time, in order to grow the trust. Trust can not just show up. The length of introductions and friendships may not necessarily generate trust. Trust needs to prove, trust also needs to be tested.

I do think that trust is earned. I think that sometimes you need to work to earn somebody's trust. I don't think that it's something that you can get just like that.

I absolutely agree with you. Trust is something that needs to be earned. I feel the same way about respect. I don't just respect any one. I respect the people that show me respect as well. I think that it is important to earn trust because if you don't trust the people in your life, it makes living with them harder to do.

When i was younger i used to trust others when they made a good impression on me.Nowadays i'm careful and don't easily .I endorse your view that trust has to be earned over a course of time.The passage of time and the way others interact with us can only create trust in the long run.

Hiya apples, Trusting someone can be the I give all my trust forever and then one Day you find out your trust has been smashed into smithereens. Or if you are lucky you can trust someone all your life and they will never fail you. Realistic trust is what I use. Because each one of us can make mistakes along the way be it in Friendships or in other relationships. So if they did make a little mistake and I saw it was done just done not out of spite but by a slip up we all can have then I forgive it. However if it is a really big thing that they do then I will break with them forever too. I get hurt like everyone else. Trusting a third time around is much more difficult. I usually give them a second chance you see depending on what the situation is. A few have gone past the third chance so there is no going back on them.

I do believe that you have to earn trust. it is not just something that exists because you want it. Trust has to be earned for you and by you. The foundation of lasting relationships come from the trust that is earned.

For me it is needed so that you gain it and Jehovah God want that in each every person.

well trust has to be earned but there are some people who's character gives way as a reason to not trust them. such people cant be helped but not trusted cause if they are the types, who cant keep a secret and have to tell it around, you don't have to tell them in the first place. choosing people to trust can be an art in itself. i personally observe what they talk about others too. do they say their friend's secrets easily to you? if they do, i don't trust them such people can be good to you, so don't get fooled :)

Hi dear, I agree with you. Unlike you, I trust everyone very fast and I experienced it is not a an advisable tendency. Also, as you mentioned people have known for years can deceive at any time depend on the subject matter. When people become selfish or they minimise our worth, it happens. However, still I think it the friendship is strong and mature, the chances for cheating is comparatively less. However, having a strong trust to known or unknown people is not advisable. We need to observe the person and evaluate the nature from our experience and can keep trust accordingly. As it all depend on various aspects, trust is to be gained through experience.

Normally trusting to other person specially not known yet will take time or few people only trust in a first meet which gives a danger. Some intances is like this you trust me and I will trust you. Even in the person you known a quite a while sometimes your trust not yet given fully - may be it is human instict or nature... see you around

I agree with you generally,in the sense that it usually takes time until you can trust someone and only after sharing some life experience with that person,but I think there are also exceptions;it is possible for two people to get along and trust each other shortly after them if they share common interests,passions and views on certain aspects of life.In this case you don't have to wait for a few years to say that you trust someone;it can happen faster.

Ya i will agree with you 200 percent. Trust will not come easily on one until they will understand mutually each other. Its very tough to earn the people who trust us truly.

I agree you entirely.I'm a trusting husband,so my wife never believe I have deceived her.

The trustworthiness of a person is often tested by us in little ways. Eventually we get a deeper sense if a person is trustworthy.

I agree that is a careful way to live, I wish I were less trusting sometimes

I think trust is earned. It's not something that is automatic. And for me if you break that trust you'll never really gain it all back. It is broken then and can't be completely recovered. I will always wonder!

No, I'm not. I always keep safety measures. I'll seemingly trust someone but I'm really being careful. The only people I trust are my family.

Yes trust has to be earned and you must know the level of trust you can give, Example : you can trust a person to keep secrets but you may not trust him to keep your money. No body is perfect sometimes people commit mistakes that affects each others trust, you should learn how to deal with that kind of situation. I always give my trust to a person, it makes me feel better.

Yes, I agree. Trust is earned, not demanded. There was a time when my professor demanded trust from us, the students. All we could say was "if you wanted trust, you have to act like you're a person who deserves it".
