Tiny social skills lesson on Trust:
Make people believe that you trust them before you truly do.
What this will do is make their masks fall (if they're insincere) or oppositely show that they deserve you trust.
How?
Very easy.
Fucking tell them.
"I trust you"
"I value you, people like you are rare."
This can be used both to get closer to people but also to test their loyalty.
Someone with poor intentions will very quickly see this as you admitting submissiveness.
Someone trustworthy will appreciate you more and try to show that they deserve your trust.
This is a good way to both establish rapport and weed out the undeserving.
In a way, the malicious will see it as a sign of vulnerability, while the genuine will see it as you validating them and having positive feelings about them.
This is a way to test people that comes at no cost to you.
Just a small little lie, that protects you.
