how to know if you can trust someone

 Determining whether you can trust someone can be complex, but here are some key factors to consider:

1. Look Beyond First Impressions: First impressions can be misleading. Instead, observe their behavior (actions not words) over time and gather evidence of their character.

2. Pay Attention to Communication: Notice how they speak and treat others (no negative nemos). Consistent, respectful communication is a positive sign.

3. Coherence and Stability: Trustworthy individuals exhibit stability in their actions and beliefs. Incoherence or frequent changes may raise doubts.

4. Guilt-Prone Behavior: People who feel guilt tend to be more trustworthy. They consider the impact of their actions on others.

Remember, trust requires strength, authenticity, and generosity from both partners in any relationship1. Trust your instincts, but also verify with evidence. 🤝🔍
