Are you Trustworthy? How much do you trust others?
Trust is an essential ingredient of life. To trust is to rely on the verbal statements of the other person or group of people. To trust means to value what others say and mean.

It results in doubt, uncertainty, psychological discomfort, or tension. This leads to follow-up. This, in turn, has the danger of making the other person wait for a follow-up, resulting in a vicious circle.
