How To Regain Trust

Trust is incredibly important in maintaining a cordial relationship with your loved ones. It takes years to bestow trust upon someone. However, a single action can cause rift in the relationship, making the other person to loose trust in you. It may even cause the mere foundation of your relationship to tremble. If you have violated the trust of someone close, you should realize that regaining the lost trust is your responsibility. You should also know that it is not a quick-fix issue. In case you are wondering how to regain trust, the tips given below will come handy.

Regaining Lost Trust

Be Patient

If you want to rebuild the lost trust, you should know that you cannot “change” the person. The wounds from your betrayal might be so strong that he/she might not be ready to forgive or forget you so quickly. He/she may require some time to get out of it. Hence, stay calm and patient. Patience will help a great deal if you are serious about regaining the lost trust.

Show Your Credibility

You might have revealed the best kept secret or did something that has resulted in a lack of trust in you. If the person is willing to give you a second chance to rebuild the trust, make the most of it to show that you are a dependable person. After the fight/argument/incident that has caused the loss of trust, your deeds should reflect the responsible person in you.

Do Not Break Promises

Now that you have to build the trust in the relationship all over again, make sure not to break any more promises. Stand up to what you say. You should not make promise of doing things that are not within your limits or which you can’t accomplish, as this will make you appear untrustworthy.

Communicate

It will be helpful if you lend an ear to what the other person is saying. Sometimes the best thing to do is just stay silent and listen. This shows that you care for the other person, consider his/her opinions and respect his/her feelings. This can help you a great deal in rebuilding the lost trust. Apart from listening, you should also speak your mind.
