Hello friends


What do you think the word trust means?

Trust means having confidence in or reliance on someone for something. If you have trust for someone you will have confidence in that person, be safe around that person because you trust in that person and feel safe.

Trust is what thing people feel safe in wherever they are. If you visit your friend whom you trust so much you will not be afraid to eat whatever he/she offers to you and feel relaxed with the person.


Presently in your country, do the citizens feel safe to trust one another? If not why? And if yes why?

In Nigeria due to how things are doing Nigerians do not feel safe to trust one another because of how bad things are going in the country. The person whom you trust and think you are safe with him/her is the person that will harm you.

The reason why the citizens don't feel safe to trust one another is that bad things (evil things) are happening a lot in Nigeria and across the world.

Telling someone your secret or plan simply because you trust that person, he or can use it against you. A lot of citizens have lost their trust in one another in Nigeria.


Have you had any experience where your trust in someone was broken? Or such a scenario from a Friend?

Yes, I have an experience where my trust in someone was broken. It was a guy that I trust. Looking at how gently I saw him, I felt he loved me so much that I trusted in him that he wasn't a cheater.

I trusted this guy based on his gentleness character as someone who couldn't cheat, which to my greatest surprise he was caught cheating with another lady whose girlfriend couldn't withstand his cheating and lie then walking away and forgetting about him. I think this is the reason girls used to say men can't be trusted.


Can you suggest ways to mend broken trust?

Well, changing the character of a person is usually difficult except God has arrested that person no matter how you try to be good to someone who isn't good to you, you may find it difficult to trust that person.

Having said that my suggestions to mend broken trust are;

  • Praying to God for quick healing and change in character

  • Counsel the person whom you feel you don't trust or don't trust you.

  • Move on if the person you trust isn't worth it.

  • Be who you are for good.

I am inviting my friends; @dave-hanny, @woka-happiness, and @vickyson to also join me.

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.

I understand how a broken trust can be deeply hurtful especially when it comes from someone you thought was genuine. Your suggestions on mending trust, such as praying for healing and counseling show resilience. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights on this important topic.

The reason why the citizens don't feel safe to trust one another is that bad things (evil things) are happening a lot in Nigeria and across the world.

My dear things are happening too much in our country.

Trust, well as for men if it is in the area of cheat I don't think if there is any man on on this planet that doesn't cheat. Cheating is part of them so trusting men on that area will end up of you having a broken trust.

Success to you dear.

Greetings
