We are the ones who Have Lost the Trust
We are the ones who have lost the trust of another person. And perhaps we have lost the trust of most people we know. The people who we love and who love us, and now we need to rebuild that trust. Know that it will not happen over night. When we hurt a lot of people with our lies and let downs, we have a lot of repair work to do. Therefore, there is a need to be committed to each relationship we want to repair. Above all, we need to build some integrity into our lives.
Why should others trust you not to hurt them again? Should they trust you to change how you behave? I have learned to be very cautious about the people I allow into my life. This is because I have experience with people who have betrayed me in the past.
These are some of the signs I look for in people before I decide to trust them with my friendship. Do their actions line up with their principles and values? When they interact with others, how do they treat them? Are they genuinely caring towards other people? Is life all about them and what they want and care about? Have I caught them in a lie? Can I trust them to keep their word? Would I be willing to to trust them with information about myself or another?
This may seem like a lot to ask for, but for me, it is essential information. Therefore, these things are Important to know before I jump into a friendship with someone. When you have been disloyal to your family, friends, co-workers, and others, you need to change your ways. Consequently, you better be ready to reevaluate how you behave in the future.
Why Trust?
We cannot live a full life without trusting some people. As humans we need family and friends and the companionship of others. For these relationships to work, we need to trust others. It is essential to a happy, fulfilling, and successful relationship. Certainly, there is no reason why you cannot test the waters before you jump into a relationship.
