Trust

The concept I decided to choose from this chapter dealt with trust in personal relationships.  Trust involves believing in another's reliability and emotionally relying on another to look our for our welfare and our relationship.  Trust involves work in the beginning of any relationship, and must be constantly growing to see a relationship grow and succeed.  It can be considered a proving ground between people to see if the relationship is one that can be pursued.  This can be a relationship involving friendship or romantically pursuance.  Either way it builds a relationship with someone that we want to have in our lives.  Trust shows us that we can take steps with someone that we normally wouldn't with someone that we don't trust.  In other words we take risks with these individuals.  It also allows us to disclose personal information about ourselves that we normally wouldn't with others.  This is crucial to be able to open up when we need someone to talk to.
