Developing, earning, and rebuilding trust in relationships are ever changing based on what we are going through at the time. Oftentimes, whether we trust another has more to do with answering the question, Do we trust ourselves? rather than whether we trust the other person.
Do we know ourselves? Do we know what we want and what we can offer others in the form of trust? If we are unsure of how to answer this question, unsure of whether we can trust ourselves enough to recognize whether someone else is trustworthy, that’s where I need to start. With myself.
Am I trustworthy? Am I capable of being trustworthy? Only by answering that question for ourselves can we then move to consider the question of trusting another.
