About this topic

Trust develops when someone keeps agreements, tells the truth and responds responsibly when things go wrong. It is harder to sustain when reassurance is plentiful but behaviour remains uncertain or the same promise is repeatedly broken.

These reflections explore reliability, vulnerability, suspicion and repair after a breach of trust. They consider why rebuilding confidence takes more than asking to be believed, and how to distinguish reasonable caution from expecting complete certainty before allowing anyone to get close.
