Do you agree that honesty is the foundation of trust?

I think that is the wrong perspective. Trust is basically saying "I believe what you say to be true". If the person says things that aren't true, then of course you don't automatically believe what they say to be true. But that is also how we define honesty. Honesty is more a category of trust or synonym that is slightly different, than a foundation of trust.

Honesty refers to speaking the truth- more like an action. Trust has more to do with reliability and integrity- more like a feeling/intuition/thought process than a specific action. Honesty might be one element of feeling a higher level of trust in someone.

Thanks for the MHO.

I think honesty is part of it. But if we are being honest we can't expect to like everything about everyone all the time... Honesty doesn't work without freedom. Trust is giving them the option to do as they please... not as you please. Its their choose what brings the trust full circle is when in that freedom they choose you. Thats 2 parts to the foundation of trust, there are more.

TRUST is assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.

Honesty or truth, is part of trust, but I'd say KNOWLEDGE of a person or thing creates trust in it. The more you know about someone or something, the more you can trust it.

Both RESPECT and HONESTY

Respect is earned and if that is missing then the foundation is breaking.

@cherrylove007 100% agree

[Snowman84]

I’d agree with that statement. I don’t know how universal that statement is now days though. Republicans celebrate having a president who is a habitual and pathological liar 🤥, so I wonder 💭 if truth really matters to many Americans.

[findacure4wokeness]

Perhaps but gullibility is also a foundation for trust.

[genericname85]

no i would say communication is the foundation. truthfull communication is up there in importance tho. cause you can be a shitty communicator telling the truth. so yeah.

[AgentG111]

Pretty much along with actions that back up the honesty.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Yes, trust is easy to lose and hard to gain so it must be valued.

[Adogdog]

I do. I must say, you seem very smart. If you ever wanna chat sometime, feel free to message me.

[Caughtulookin]

I just read another female question that asked if complete honesty was acceptable behavior.

[Iron_Man]

Yes you have to be honest Because if you’re caught in lies You'll break the trust.

[ABC1x1x]

Stupidity is the foundation of trust. Never trust. Verify. Not your keys, not your crypto.

[HighValue]

Yes. Honestly, add/follow me.

[NathanDavis]

I think it is understanding...

[Xawyx-2]
