10 Traits of Trustworthy People

No one wants to build relationships with people they can hardly trust or rely. 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 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 Moore, an Irish poet and singer, "We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk."
