How do human beings learn to trust each other? They learn how to trust each other by getting to know one another and building up a good rapport. When you build up that trust, it sets up a good foundation for true relationships.
If you are the type of person who does not trust easily, you can start off with small blocks of trust. Trust that when you are friendly and say hello, it opens up another person to communicate with you and respond back.
Also, you can start with yourself. Do you trust yourself, or do you give into fear and lie in discomfort?
We may have trouble trusting or relating to other people due to our own inner demons and past traumas. But, it doesn’t have to be this way. With so many people living on this planet, there is bound to be another human being that understands you and who you can trust.
Some people put their trust on a higher being, such as God, Allah, Jesus, or Universe. You don’t have to practice spirituality if you are not comfortable with living that way. However, believing in a higher being can change your perception and allow you to trust yourself and others more.
Also, realize that you on some level have trust for other people. Even if you’re the type of person to go out, you at least trust the landlord or owner of the home you live in. If you’re homeless, you trust that others will give you money or food. Or, you trust law enforcement to take care of any crimes going on in your neighborhood.
Try examining what your level of trust is. Do you trust your parents, your siblings, the supermarket cashier, your old friends, your new companions, your dog, your religion, etc. on some level? I’m willing to bet that you on some level already trust people. Beyond that, you can build more blocks of trust. Start up conversations. Explore places with new or old friends. Learn how to open up more and be yourself.
