How to Convince Someone to Trust You

Building Confidence

Christina Sponias
If you want to show someone that they don't need to be afraid of you, because you are really sincere and you won't cause any damage anywhere, that you don't have bad intentions and that you want to have their trust and confidence, you have to be very patient.

Confidence is something you have to build. Nobody can trust you before examining you very well.

They have to examine your behavior in various situations, so that they may really believe that you are sincere and you won't take advantage of them. This means that you really have to have excellent intentions. This method never works if you are a liar.

If you are a liar, stop lying and learn how to speak the truth and live near the truth, because only if you can be with the truth can you be close to mental health and wisdom.

You have to prove to the other person that you are sincere, you are not going to abandon them, you are not going to do anything illegal against them, and who knows what else, depending on your case, so you have to be absolutely correct in all your movements, but because you understand their fears, their problems and desires, not because you are an actor who is pretending to be very nice only until you manage to get their confidence, because this behavior is absurd: this is the behavior of idiots, who cannot think about the future, and live only in the present moment, imagining that everything will always be the way they desire and that everyone else can easily be manipulated and misled by them.

Be careful so that you don't fall in this trap: never be an actor. If you are not sincere in your life, you will have to live among actors like yourself, who will betray you without a doubt...

Always be sincere and always have good intentions. This is your protection against craziness and despair and this is the only way you'll really manage to convince the other person to believe you.

Confidence is something you build with time, patience and perseverance. This means that you won't give up and that you won't lose your temper.

Your words mean nothing in front of your behavior.

Words are only words: anyone can say whatever they wish. How could anyone know how many lies everyone tells them everyday?

You are going to prove that you are a good person in the difficult moments, when things are against you, thanks to your excellent behavior.

You have to be always the same rock. You cannot show irritation, indifference or impatience. You are the other person's slave.

However, don't be an actor. Otherwise, you won't be near the truth. This means that you have to always forgive and understand the other person.

Put yourself in their place.

Instead of thinking about your position and how tired you are of waiting for them while showing them many things, but never seeing what you want, think about their fears, their problems and their desires.

Think about the other person's difficulties when judging you. They have many things to be afraid of... We live in a horrible world, where people are false, selfish and cruel.

Be patient and always show your best self, paying attention to all the details. Forgive everything, and be only good.

This way you'll manage to prove to the other person that you are really sincere and they will trust you when they feel relieved about their doubts and fears. This is a process, which you have to respect, without showing impatience.

    The strongest relationships are built on trust and trust can only hold up when it is built on truth. Honesty is the best construction material. Nice article.
