What do I need to trust somebody? Today I asked myself this question, for many different reasons, and quite naturally the next question was; what is trust?
For me to trust another person completely is not rare, I trust a lot of people, but I trust them in different ways. To show up at a friend’s house without make-up with a gl
oomy face and in a bad mood show that I trust that person. It might sound a bit vain and silly but it´s not like I am very narcissistic and think my looks are very important and therefore can´t show myself without make-up, it´s more about the person I am when wearing make-up; happy, funny, cheerful etc. Because that is what I would like “strangers” ( people I do not know very well) to think about me, which I think is fair, because why would I want to be a person who seems angry, annoyed and moody? I mean, I can be all of those negative things, at times, but those sides I do not want to share with the world at all times, just like I don´t want to share my inner and deepest thoughts and feelings with the rest of the world. So for me to for example go and see a friend with no make-up really mean “I trust you” because I am comfortable with showing both my good and bad sides to him/her. So like I said; I trust in different ways, for example: I have really nice friends who do not know my bad sides, although I trust them and I have friends who I will never share my problems, thoughts and doubts with, although we are really close friends.
Another type of trust is the kind of trust you show by being honest and not telling lies. I have friends which I love and think very highly of, some of them might not always pick up the phone or answer my texts, they might not always be reliable when it comes to planning things together; but they will on the other hand never lie to my face or let me down.
A trust which has been lost can be very hard to win back, and I quote Marianne: “I don´t believe in second chances, I believe in new opportunities” and I think that quote can be related to trust which have been lost; you will not be given a chance to get back that trust, you will have to create the opportunities to win it back again. You will have to fight yourself to show the person you have let down that you are to be trusted again. Am I right?

They say it's always a good idea to trust with one eye open. Maybe that's a bit pessimistic but there's some wisdom in it.
