Importance of Trust

There is feelings that have to do with how we observe or receive attitudes from another. In this sense, trust does not exist if we do not have someone else in front of us to whom to deposit that feeling, someone to trust, believe in and in whom we can be sure. It is an extremely important element in many of the relationships we establish as human beings and this not only from the economic point of view but also from the affection, love and fellowship.

The bonds that are established based on trust are more lasting and healthy

It is clear that all those links or relationships that we may have throughout our lives are not the same. In some of them we deposit more expectations or, even, for the very operation of the society, we demand different things, actions or reactions. Thus, there are relationships in which we need trust to be consolidated and in others in which it may not be present and the bond is not destroyed for that reason.

However, it is important to note that the more trust there is in the links we establish with other

people, the healthier those bonds will be and perhaps longer lasting. However, the problem here lies in the fact that trust is not something that one can measure, control or established in a unidirectional way, but implies a commitment and an effort on the part of all those who participate in the process. bond.

It is clear that the bond that one can have with their parents is not the same as the one that one has with their friends, with their partner, with their children, with their classmates. job. This means that according to each relationship that we develop, we must establish different deals and ways of bonding that allow us to make the most of that relationship.

Build self-confidence: self-esteem and openness

A person who bonds with other people knows that he will not always get along with everyone he comes across in life. It is important in this sense to understand that before loving others it is essential to love oneself, work on self-esteem and recognize which are the elements that do one good and those that do not. Once this is achieved, you can begin to think about the bond that one maintains with others. As long as a person does not have their self-esteem developed or well established, it is likely that they will establish unhealthy ties with others, which can easily become destructive ties.

When we have a level of self-esteem consistent with our way of being, we can access a healthy and beneficial openness with others. others, since we will be able to relate them from another place: attending to the needs of others but taking into account mainly the our. All this undoubtedly contributes to harmony in relationships.

The lack of trustworthiness as a central problem of human bonds

When there is no trust or a minimum level of reliability in the links we have, it is difficult for things to work well. This is so because despite not necessarily loving or caring for the other person, trust is what allows us to know that they will not harm us or hurt us. If this doesn't happen, relationships can become toxic, harmful, and dangerous. Thus, all relationships such as couples, work, etc. they need some kind of trust or security.

However, it can also be experienced with oneself if we understand ourselves as another to whom we can give strength. Self-esteem and confidence that what we do can go well, that we can improve or fix mistakes made is important because It also helps us to have a healthier relationship with ourselves, that we don't judge ourselves or be so harsh with our Actions.
