I am losing my faith in all humanity, can anyone reassure me that people are great?
Ah, come on. Don’t lose faith in all of us. Ok, I’ll give you a quick anecdote that might make you feel better. It tells you ‘How to build Trust’ Trust is a major brick in the foundation of interpersonal relationships, whether it is between parents and children, friends, or lovers. 1. Do what you say. Possibly the most important step to building a foundation of trust is to do what you say you will do. Even if it is a small thing, canceling or failing to follow through will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness. Enough of those and the foundation will crumble. 2. Never lie. Sounds easy, right? Not always. It’s surprisingly simple to find yourself saying a little white lie to protect your friend, lover, or even your parents. But if you tell the truth even when the truth isn’t perfectly pleasant, you will become much more trustworthy. Kind of a no-brainer, right? If you never lie, people will sense that and you will be much more loved and appreciated for your honesty. 3. Volun
