    • Synonyms include reliability and dependability, while untrustworthiness is the opposite.
    • Trust is a foundational aspect in daily life, allowing us to act without verifying safety or competence every time.

    Understanding Trust

    • Trusting people and systems is common; we typically do not assess the skills of those we rely on.
    • Trustworthy individuals are expected to perform tasks competently without the need for oversight.
    • Trust can be extended in situations like financial responsibilities, keeping secrets, and fulfilling commitments.
