Great reflection. I find myself giving a level of trust automatically to others due to past good experiences. And then trust is either downgraded or upgraded over time. I recently worked with someone on a project and we were having some consistent conflict. After about 9 months, we had a heart to heart talk. And she was just learning to trust me and still had areas with me that she didn't. What I learned is that her past experiences had led her to give a level of DIStrust automatically to others. So our levels of trust didn't start out in the same place. It was a lengthy but productive conversation. Unfortunately, you don't realize that your levels of trust don't match up immediately, it takes time to understand that's where the conflict is coming from.
