 How does trust impact your mental health?

  1. I believe trust can positively or negatively impact a person's mental health. The trust vs mistrust stage is discussed by Erikson from birth to about 1.5 years old. If a person begins life as a child in situations that prompted mistrust, these individuals typically have a hard time trusting as an adult. When people strongly mistrust it can send them in a phase of paranoia. I have seen this happen a few times with a couple of acquaintances. The mistrust with constant ideas that people were doing stuff to them caused a mental breakdown. Fortunately, they were able to get professional help and balanced out mentally. I believe it is important for people to recognize early symptoms and get help for children at an early age.

  2. I have trust issues. Not being able to trust people around me has played havoc on my mental health. I feel like I can't depend on anyone, that I can only depend on myself. Well, I get tired of being the only adult and feeling like I have to make all the decisions and if I don't follow up behind others, i am afraid that they will screw up a situation. I have tried relinquishing the reigns to others, but I fail at letting them be in control. I need to make sure that bill is paid. I need to make sure medication is correct. I still have trust issues. Or is it control issues?

  3. Trust is very important to me. I have been lied to and had my trust broken many times, and every time it hurts deeply. I believe it for sure impacts my mental health, because of how upset it makes me. I put my guard up, and don't believe the people I should. It messes with my head, gives me anxiety, and changes the way I think about everyone around me.

  4. Trusting relationships can provide emotional support, increase feelings of safety and security, and reduce stress levels. On the other hand, a lack of trust can lead to anxiety, depression, and paranoia. When people feel they cannot rely on others or their environment, it's harder for them to feel secure and stable. This can negatively affect their overall well-being and ability to function effectively. Therefore trust is essential for maintaining good mental health.

  5. Trust is very important in human relationships. It is something that you have to strive to gain. You can't just buy it or ask someone to give it to you. Trusting relationship helps us to trust as well. It helps us to grow and to love. In my case, when I know they trust me, I strive to do better and perform better. Once I have someone else's trust, I wouldn't want to lose it. It makes me feel at peace knowing that someone trusts me. It makes me happy and content. Therefore, it helps me maintain a healthy mind and heart.

  6. Trust impacts my mental health a lot. If you are unable to trust as a whole than you are unable to have a good mental health. I trusted a person a lot with a particular thing and than later on they double crossed me. It still affects me today with who I am friends with and who I can trust with particular information. I believe id you are able to trust people you can have a better mental health than people who don't trust people at all. Trust is extremally important in today's time.. Especially with how the rate of suicides are.

  7. Trust can contribute to your mental health a lot. I think trust includes the feeling of safety. If you're not trusting something, place or someone then you will worry. Worrying will cause you to stress and your mental health to decrease. Trusting allows you to be at peace and feel comforted. I recently had a falling out with a friend. With us having the same group of friends I get anxious thinking about being around, I don't trust that everything will be okay. Prayerfully one day I will come to peace with it.

  8. I believe trust is paramount when it comes to building a social support system. A lot of theories point to the fact that it is mainly established very early on in life, IE trust vs mistrust as an infant. But even people who have childhood trauma or relationship trauma that has built trust issues can resolve them through cognitive behavioral therapy and other avenues. I also believe that while having a strong social support system through family and friends is very valuable, just as valuable is being able to have strong self trust. This is how we truly gain our independence. People often visualize the mountain hermit. A self sustaining person, living off the land with little to no contact with the outside world. I like to believe that when we are truly mentally healthy, we are capable of both sides of the coin. Being able to build a social support system through develop of shared trust and social skills, and being able to have trust in ourselves and be truly independent.

  9. Trust has a lot to do with my mental wellness. When it comes to trust, that is a way for one to find a safe place in a person. Without trust, how are people holding job positions and positive relationships? We live everyday amongst people that don't care about trusting anyone because they simply don't take the time to learn that some are worthy of your trust. Throughout my years here, I had to learn who to trust and who not to trust and that was hard at a young age because not only did I have to decipher who to trust in my friends group but also who to trust in my family. As I got older, I developed PTSD and that's tragic events from actual humans whom I am SUPPOSE to trust. Trust is developed through social skills and awareness and plus it is earned. We learn to trust but why do people break their trust and expect to regain it to break it again?

  10. Trust goes a long way for anybody. I have an inert feeling of trust for anybody I meet. A trust that you're able to provide valuable knowledge and information that can help me with my goals. Trust doesn't have to be over something serious. If you've experienced some rough issues growing up, which I'm sure everybody has their own personal story to tell, trust is not a easy thing to give. But as you grow older, you learn that trust doesn't have to be on a sensual or romantic level. You can have platonic relationships and can build off of trust from there. In this generation, trust, honesty, and loyalty is very hard to come by. I plan on making a difference by offering a smiling face and a helping hand wherever I go, just so I can spread trust to strangers. Not everybody in this world is evil and out to get you, and I believe that change always starts with one person. So the response and question I leave you with is, what's stopping you from being that one person?

  11. Trust is, in my personal experience, one of the most important aspects relating to our day-to-day life and mental health. Those of us that are surrounded by people we do not trust are not going to have the same mental wellbeing as someone surrounded by people they do trust. Having someone who is fully trustworthy and has proven it in your life is an irreplaceable feeling of security, which in turn allows us to be more comfortable and open with ourselves and others. I have always championed trust as the most important aspect of any relationship, with our family, our friends, and our lovers.

  12. I believe that trust can be a positive or negative thing mentally. In the positive aspect if you have trust in someone you will feel safe, you will feel comfortable and have a sense of peace. In the negative aspect, if you do not have trust in someone you will constantly be in your head. You will question a lot of things and that could potentially lead to stress. It is important to work on your mental health, people don't realize how impactful your mental health can be. Sometimes when you are stressed and overwhelmed that can lead to your physical health being compromised. Some people say stress is a silent killer, and sometimes you don't even know you're going through depression and it can affect your body and your daily activities.

  13. Trust is important. Trust can cause stress if you believe that you can not trust someone. I am married. If I believed that I couldn't trust him, it would cause me to fret or worry about what he is doing, but I trust him so that worry is not on my mind. The stress that worry causes can damage your health and cause other problems. It can cause high blood pressure, headaches, heart attacks, and more. It can cause you to have anxiety or depression which affects your mental health.

  14. I am huge on trust in any type of relationship. Whether family, friends, or romantic, it is very important that I can trust them and they can trust me. I have always said lying is not necessary because the outcome will be better if you tell me the truth than if you lie. Not being able to trust someone is so very hard on my mental health. It causes worry, anxiety, doubt, and a lot of sadness. I just don't think betraying anyone's trust is worth the outcome.

  17. I feel that trust can affect your mental health. I struggle with trust issues and because of that it affects my friendships along with when I try to get into relationships. It also effects my mental health because I constantly question myself and question what’s wrong with me.

  18. Trust is important when it comes down to your mental health. Having a lack of trust can be just as important because it can definitely help to decipher who and what you should allow in your life that can impact your mental state. Allowing yourself to trust or not to trust can put you in a safe haven mental mindset. However, living life without being able to trust anyone can cause you to constantly live with anxiety because you may be so worried about protecting yourself that you can miss out on other important aspects of life that are important to your mental health.

  19. I believe trust can positively or negatively impact a person's mental health. Trust plays a major role in mental health by influencing emotional stability, stress levels, and overall, well-being. When trust is present it fosters a sense of security and emotional safety allowing one to express themselves openly and build meaningful connections. I like to be able to know I can trust whom I’m around, and to be able to give them that feeling as well. Trusting relationships provide emotional support and allow you to worry less as it lowers anxiety and promotes inner peace. Broken trust can lead to emotional wounds, but rebuilding trust can help restore mental well-being.

  20. Trust has a major impact on mental health. This is something that I am battling now myself. I am recovering from ACL and meniscus surgery. The surgery alone has been very traumatizing. Now that I am in the recovery stage, I must learn to trust myself again with walking and doing simple task such as standing up to apply pressure to my leg. I even get depressed when I try simple things like getting in and out of the car or walking up the one step to get in and out of my home. Because I lack trust, it's really starting to take a toll on me mentally. At times it makes me feel like a failure because I don't trust myself. I feel like I could be further along in my recovery if I learn to trust myself.

  21. Trust helps you feel safe and supported, which is really good for your mental health. When you trust people, you're less stressed and more relaxed. It also makes it easier to open up and share your feelings, so you don’t keep everything bottled up. Overall, trust helps your mind feel calm and cared for.
