Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 301 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, I've shared some of the signs I tend to look for when I'm trying to decide if I'm able to trust someone. Please keep in mind that these signs are not fool-proof, nor are they always accurate!

These signs can simply be helpful guidelines when choosing how much to trust someone.

Sign 1: Trustworthy people often help others feel at ease - you won't be worried about them hurting you, shocking you, or being overly unpredictable.

Sign 2: A trustworthy person will tend to respect your boundaries and won't make you feel like you're not good enough. They'll show compassion, acceptance, and empathy.

Sign 3: Another sign that someone is trustworthy is that they won't be afraid to be vulnerable with you. However, they'll also take the time to build a strong relationship with you before they show you their vulnerabilities.

Sign 4: Someone who doesn't regularly break other people's trust is more likely to be trustworthy. While this might seem obvious, it can be important to keep this in mind!

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindful Kind podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the
0:08.9	Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at Rachelcable.com. Each week this podcast will bring
0:15.4	meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress and live more mindfully in the modern world.
0:24.2	Hello and welcome to episode 299 of the Mindful Kind podcast. In this episode I'll be talking
0:30.7	about a topic that's quite close to my heart. I know I can be overly trusting and in the past
0:36.3	this hasn't always turned out for the best.
0:39.1	I love meaningful relationships, not just surface-level friendships, and I think that's part of
0:44.0	the reason why I tend to be overly trusting.
0:46.7	I want to trust other people, sometimes too much or too quickly.
0:50.9	Not only has this landed me in several unhealthy relationships, especially when I was younger,
0:56.0	but I also had to deal with a lot of sadness and disappointment and hurt when people let me down.
1:02.0	But honestly, I probably shouldn't have trusted some of those people so wholeheartedly to begin with.
1:08.0	Over the last few years, I've tried to hone my skills when it comes to trusting people who
1:13.0	won't always let me down, and I've learned a lot about some of the key signs to look out for.
1:18.9	I'm definitely not perfect at this, and I'm still a very trusting person, but I'm finding myself
1:24.1	more and more in strong relationships that feel pretty equal, not just relationships
1:29.2	where I give a lot more than I get, or where I feel like I'm constantly being let down or hurt.
1:35.3	So let's take a look at some of the potential signs that someone is trustworthy.
1:40.0	Now please keep in mind that if someone displays all of these signs, that doesn't necessarily
1:44.8	mean you should trust them completely.
1:47.3	And if someone doesn't display the following signs, that also doesn't necessarily mean that
1:51.3	they're not trustworthy.
