 Hey Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. Before we begin, we would like to give you a huge thanks for all of the love and support that you've given us. Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. Now, let's begin. Do you have people in your life that you can rely on? It's always nice to have a few good, trustworthy friends in your corner. But sometimes it can be difficult to gauge someone's level of trustworthiness. You might want to trust them, but how can you be sure? Here are seven signs that someone is trustworthy. One, they're consistent across the board. They feel that this person remains true to themselves. Their character stays true with different people and one in different situations and circumstances. They don't put up a mask, nor do they feel pressured to change their stance or personality just to suit a different crowd. What this person says matches up with what you hear from others. Two, they care about you. Do they seem naturally caring and respectful of you? When someone is trustworthy, they don't want to use you or take advantage of you. They're thoughtful of you, respect your boundaries and they don't try to overstep their place in your life. They don't want to impose their will on you and they don't feel the need to control others around them. Three, you're relaxed around them. Do you find that you feel generally more relaxed and calm when you're around this person? If both of you feel mutually comfortable around each other, then you can engage in an open conversation. You don't feel that they're trying to hide things from you or that they're trying to manipulate you. In turn, you feel like you don't have to hide anything from them. With a mutual sense of established trust, you have the opportunity to be vulnerable with them. Four, they treat others well. Do you think this person holds additional traits such as compassion and humility? They think well of others and don't consider themselves to be more important than them. They are more outwardly focused and have a desire not only to help you but are available to help others as well. They're good listeners and want to be supportive. Number five, they always tell the truth. When someone is honest with you, they're comfortable enough to tell you how they truly feel. They have your best interest in mind when they tell you the truth. They choose to give you constructive criticism and want you to better yourself, over being mean and trying to tear you down. A trustworthy person doesn't need to lie to you or hide from you when you ask for their opinion. Six, they hold themselves accountable. Accountability is very important. A trustworthy person can admit when they're wrong. They don't try to justify their wrongdoings or push the blame onto others. Rather, they accept responsibility for their actions and face the consequences that result from their decisions. They're not only accountable around you but with others as well. And seven, they follow through with their actions. Do you have faith that they'll do what they say? When you make plans with this person, they won't flake on you and they'll hold themselves accountable for any situation that they don't happen to follow through with. Their word is important to them and they hold themselves to it. Which signs do you think are important when it comes to trusting someone? Are there any signs that we missed?
