Trust is the most important key to a relationship, but we ought to know that building trust is not the absence of mistakes, but learning how to take responsibility for actions, and correct errors or mistakes done in order to have a blissful relationship.
Trust is the foundation of any successful and lasting relationship. Building trust is quite easy, though it takes time, but when trust is broken it becomes difficult to trust again, but i would say that trust being broken does not imply that we shouldn't trust again, I always believe that "one bad apple does not make a whole apple tree to be bad". So trust being broken does not mean others should be locked out as well, so trust can be built again, though one will have to work very hard to gain the trust again.
Building trust is not automatic, rather we work to earn the trust, it's a gradual process that takes time, especially if it has been broken before. Trust typically takes time and effort to build, but once in place, it allows us to rely on each other. A relationship without trust can often be rocky and filled with conflict.
Trust can be built through open, honest, and transparent communication. Which happens to be a key factor to building trust, although there are other factors, such as commitments, taking responsibility, being able to manage our emotions effectively, vulnerability, being able to share your fears, desires and weaknesses without a bias mind, also being consistent not only in words, as well as in actions.
I came to understand that trust paves way for integrity, which aid us to align our actions with values, aid us in understanding and validating our emotions, brings respect, and forgiveness. Brings about vulnerability, closeness, and intimacy, all of which can foster commitment and build the foundation for a solid relationship
Trust is possible again by addressing those hurt feelings and working towards healing, underlying our fears and insecurities, with that we can gradually rebuild trust through consistent and positive actions.
Trust is a precious commodity that takes transparency, honesty and genuine personal exchanges and interactions for it to be built and can be lost in a second if not valued, I would say that there can also be conflict around trust, especially when it is offered too quickly, taken for granted, or broken. If trust is offered immediately in a relationship rather than built gradually there tends to be conflict.
Trust is the foundation to building and having a successful relationship, though there are other factors, but this is an important aspect to have a successful and enjoyable relationship with friends as well as family.

This is so true but so difficult to put in practice. I think the fear of being hurt again has a little to do with it, because we don't want to be hurt and so we keep everyone away and close ourselves off.
This, and is so simple to do but people don't do it. It's so difficult now days to find someone that will keep their word.
It's much easier to say things but very difficult to put them into action.
Fear is one thing that keeps one in bondage and brings up reasons never to try again. But that is not the way out, speaking out of experience, but still have reasons to trust again.
So it's all channelled to the state of our minds and our level of maturity.
Totally get it. Like at the end, we will be able to react better to future problems or conflicts the more we expose ourselves to things and people.
