How do you build trust nowadays with people in general knowing how there’s so many options and people can be deceiving?

For me trust Is a big thing may that be via relationship even friendship. I have a hard time trusting people because I’ve been lied to and backstabbed a lot and my past left my heart damaged for some time but I’ve healed and reconciled through time and self care/healing but I still keep my heart guarded.. people also say there’s lots of options due to dating apps, social media, online platforms, etc. How can I be content again and trust someone knowing this?

Patience. Their actions will match their words. Their words will match their actions. Their gestures and thoughts and actions will be genuine. They will make mistakes and not be perfect proving that the good stuff isn't an act. They'll listen and care about what's going on in your life and try to help -- or not try to help.

Well one way i could suggest for you is to always examine their actions over their words. they will always tell you what type of person they are. if their actions always match up with their words then i think you got a solid shot there that they are a trustworthy person.

im always trying to be that person myself although sometimes i slip up.

also if they always keep their obligations... and if you're just dating them if they don't flake on you at the last minute or god forbid they stand you up.

I always give people the benefit of the doubt.. So I will give anyone a chance to prove me wrong lol But they often show their true colours sooner than later...

Give them time to prove that they legit care about you. But don’t trust them too soon.

[Paulalove98]

Very true time will indeed tell, it’s just scary knowing someone can be lying telling you one thing but maybe they told others the exact same thing and could be acting phony/fake.

[WhitneySnow]

They could be. But if you go slow and trust your intuition most of the time you won’t be tricked.

Watch, Listen and Observe and say very little. You be surprised what colors come out.
