To trust someone is to believe that he or she has your best interests in mind, that the person will protect you from harm and is reliable.

What do you all think the definition of trust is? Not just with your T but significant others too?
I believe trust for me is belief the person will not actively set out to harm me and that the person has the ability to function reasonably within themselves without need for me. For me the definition does not include protection or someone elses idea of my best interest. For me, there is not a blanket definition for all people-it does depend upon their role in my life.
