In your opinion, what are the conditions for mutual trust?

Clear open honest communication and a legitimate effort to show consideration for the other rather than focus on any sense of entitlement. To get trust, we must give trust. To say I'll trust you when you show me you can be trusted, while not allowing any opportunity for them to show you this, you're setting both of you up for failure. Focus on what you bring to the relationship rather than what you expect from the relationship, yet clearly describe your ideal relationship to your partner after getting your partner's definition first.

It seems to come down to having the same level of calmness (or 'assertiveness' - or lack of assertiveness).

I meet lots of cocky, downright hostile people, in the, who keep obsessing with 'confidence' but have none if it.

I am confident, even very - just not as obnoxious as they are (that level of concealed hostileness is usually found in nationals of countries who went to wars for no good reasob and then got their sorry asses kicked).

I struggle to even relate to them, let alone to be in mutual trust (they distrust themselves to begin with)

Mutual trust: if I tell you a secret, stfu and take it to your grave.

The only times it is okay to not tell your partner something/hide something is while playing a game competitively or to surprise them with a gift. Otherwise the truth should be given and expected all the time.
