10 ways to BUILD TRUST in your relationship

Depending on the person and what he has lived through, the word “trust” can have different meanings.

For example, a kind-hearted person who has never experienced the pain of betrayal is more likely to trust than someone who has recovered from an abusive relationship.

The meaning of the word trust is different for each person. Ask five friends and you’ll get five definitions.

There are different types of trust:

Competitive Trust, Relationship Trust, Family Trust, True Trust, Organization Trust, Self Trust, Situation Trust, and Leader Trust—just to name a few.

However, by definition, there is an almost absolute truth: certain behaviors build trust faster than others.

10 ways to BUILD TRUST in your relationship

1. Admit it when you make a mistake

Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone admits to it. But if your goal is to maintain trust and faithfulness in your relationship, admitting when you’ve made a mistake is not an option.

Ignoring a mistake is worse than admitting it. This is especially true when you are trying to build a trusting relationship.

2. Fulfill your promises

Do what you said you would do. Consistent, trustworthy, and honest behavior is one of the fastest ways to gain trust.

3. Give trust

Commitment and trust is a reciprocal action. Have you seen the movie Getting in trouble? Robert De Niro’s (Jack Burns) character gives a talk to Ben Stiller (Greg) in the “Burns family circle of trust”, in which he prides himself saying: “I don’t keep anything from you and you don’t keep anything from me.”

Trust is like that.

4. Be attentive when listening

Attention is observation without judgment. For illustrative purposes, think about the person you trust most in your life. No matter what her mood is, she might be willing to listen to you. Mindful listening is rare these days—a fact that makes this practice very valuable for building trust.

5. Show interest

Showing interest helps build a healthy relationship with your love. In addition to being vital for the development and maintenance of the same.

6. Know yourself

Self-awareness is defined as “awareness of a person’s character, feelings, motivations and desires”. Self-awareness is one of the most important “ingredients” for building trust.

We often fail to pay attention to the information conveyed by our actions. Without self-awareness, it is impossible to adjust your actions to convey your suggestions, and you cannot build trust when the signal being sent is the wrong signal.

7. Always be punctual

Poor time management is better known as lack of respect. Chances are, if you don’t take responsibility, someone else will do it for you. At the same time, you will begin to feel that others are suspicious of you, which can lead them to doubt what you have done or said—no matter what your intentions are.

8. Communicate in the right way

Open communication is easier when you determine your intentions in advance, act politely, and listen carefully. Effective communication can be the most important aspect of building trust.

9. Resolve conflicts quickly

Any form and degree of conflict is an obstacle to establishing a relationship of trust. Therefore, it is very important to eliminate any conflicts that may arise and to deal with them quickly and efficiently.

10. Be a role model

There is no better way to build trust between you than behave in an exemplary way. If this sounds like a “one-size-fits-all solution” to mutual trust, it is.

In short, make a conscious decision, always tell the truth, be honest, be responsible, put gossip aside, and constantly convey to your lover that he can trust you. In return, you will find it much easier to trust him as well.

In fact, all these attitudes create a “circle of trust”. Good luck 🙂
