What Is Trust?

Trust is a highly subjective term, but can be generally understood as a bond between two people, wherein they learn to share information and to depend on each other. It requires an equal amount of confidence between two people, or a group of people, either to share secrets, to share responsibilities or to be allowed to borrow personal property. The level of trust can vary from person to person. A married couple are expected to have a high level of trust in each other, while two people who have recently met in the workplace may be expected to have an initial trust, but would not expect to endow that other person with responsibility or secrets. Breaking a person's trust can often lead to negative consequences, and it is common for trust to be misplaced, and for that trust to be let down by another. Despite this, learning to take the confidence to trust others is important in developing a strong social role.
