Trust

Trust is the confidence that a person or group of people has in the reliability of another person or group. It is the degree to which one feels they can depend on the other party to do what they say they will do. Trust is a belief in a probability that a person will behave in certain ways. The predictability of an action or behaviour builds a feeling of confidence and security. People who trust are happier, relaxed and more functional. Trust has many benefits including increased optimism, higher levels of self-confidence, lower stress levels, peace of mind and more meaningful social connections.
