 No one wants to build relationship with people they can hardly trust or rely on. We all want to be sure that the people closest to us have our backs and we can tell them things about us that others don't know without getting betrayed. Here's the thing, in life we all depend on a few people around us to help us especially when we feel weakest. We need people that we can trust to help us get back on our feet when we fail and we also need people who will believe in our abilities to achieve what we set our minds to do. Thomas More, an Irish poet and singer once said, We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like a simple, obvious suggestion but it involves courage and risk. To be a trustworthy person means that people can easily be themselves around you and not fear that you'll judge them. Bob Vonorek, an American author also said, Trust is built when someone is vulnerable and not taking advantage of. While we all want to build relationships with trustworthy people, it might be a little challenging to identify such people. In this video, I'll share with you 10 traits of trustworthy people.

One thing peculiar to them is that they are compassionate and also empathetic. They care about other people and would not intentionally do anything to hurt the feelings of others. Because they are kind, they are less likely to harm or betray you even when they want something so badly. They don't resort to betrayal no matter the circumstance. 2. Trustworthy people respect personal boundaries The last thing a trustworthy person will do is to try to control others or force their wishes down their throats. No, they respect personal boundaries. They don't bully others nor try to impose their will on them. They understand that we all can't like or want the same things in life, so they respect other people's decisions and privacy. 3. Trustworthy people are reliable and always keep their promises It starts with little things such as honoring commitments, keeping appointments, whether with clients, colleagues, or even family members and friends. They mean it when they say yes, and when they say no, they also mean it. They are people of integrity. 4. Trustworthy people are truthful and honest People who match their words and feelings with their thoughts and actions are trustworthy. They don't say something entirely different to you while telling the rest of the world another. Also, they don't sweet talk. Sometimes, even when you don't want to hear the truth, they do you the favor of telling it to you. Trustworthy people don't take what belongs to others, whether it's an idea, possession, credit, or the likes without asking for permission. They are honest enough to admit when an idea is in theirs. If they had something somewhere and developed it to become valuable to others, they acknowledged the fact that the original initiative wasn't theirs. 5. Trustworthy people are humble Trustworthy people are humble enough to admit that they don't know everything and are willing to learn. They don't go about acting like they own the world or know everything in it. They don't have a superior attitude. On occasions where they know about a subject, they're still humble themselves enough to listen to other people's viewpoints. They seek people's advice and opinion to avoid mistakes and errors that can cost them so much. Everyone and anyone can teach them because they don't have superior attitude. They are great people to harvest bosses and subordinates. 6. Trustworthy people promote communication and understanding You see, trustworthy people understand the importance of communication and understanding in any conversation. They know that these are the basis for building trust in any relationship, so they address everyone appropriately and ensure that they understand the message others are passing to avoid assumptions of any kind. When they don't precisely agree with other people's opinion, they make sure that they still respect their ideas and perspectives. One thing they understand about communication is that to build trust, you have to listen to others' spoken and unspoken words and ensure that you completely understand what the other party is saying. Otherwise, communication will only end up being exhausting, time-consuming and ineffective. 7. Trustworthy people are consistent Trustworthy people are consistent in their behaviors. They behave in the same manner whether they are at home, work with their partners, etc. They have the self-control to maintain their character and follow through on what they say they will do even when they get tempted to work it back. A trustworthy person doesn't pretend to be someone else just to impress others. 8. Trustworthy people aren't greedy or desperate for money There's absolutely nothing wrong in having fancy stuffs as long as you don't put these things ahead of people. Trustworthy people value people and their relationships with them over materialistic things or money no matter how much they want them. They don't treat people poorly to achieve a particular one. They believe that people and their feelings should always be placed first before other things. 9. Trustworthy people are not biased Do you have a friend that you can beat your chest in the ability to tell you the truth even when it doesn't favor you? That's one of the qualities of a trustworthy person. They are never biased or prejudiced. 10. Trustworthy people are always ready to share their resources with others Have you ever been friends with someone who holds essential information that can help you perform excellently during a test or examination? Well, that's an example of someone who isn't trustworthy. A trustworthy person is compassionate and cares about others. They are selfless always willing to share their resources with others. They want the best for you as much as they do for themselves. They do this because they understand that there is more than enough to go around for everyone. Everyone likes to look out for qualities in others that say they can be trusted. However, while at it, we shouldn't forget to build ourselves to become that way as well. You can start by developing these qualities and habits. Thank you very much for watching our videos. If you like this video, watch more videos on our channel and subscribe. We love you.
