A short Brendan Kane video explaining how to recognize deep trust: people stop managing impressions, lower their social guard, stop performing, and allow participation in their imperfections. He cites Professor Brené Brown’s idea that trust is built when people feel safe enough to stop managing what others think, emphasizing acceptance and safety as the basis for someone showing their true self.
Here's how you know someone trusts you like they trust you with their life and their deepest, darkest secrets. And this comes from Professor Brene Brown, who wrote, trust is built when we feel safe enough to stop managing what the other person thinks of us. And basically what she meant is that trust isn't just about words or promises. It's when someone trusts you deeply, they stop performing, they lower their social guard, and they stop trying to say the right thing. You know someone trusts you when they allow you to participate with their imperfections. And this is because you've created such a safe space for them, a space where they feel comfortable to say what they want to say. They know if they make a mistake, you'll never try and use it against them. Trust is not only when someone believes what you say. It's when they know that they will be accepted. And that is when they show their true selves.
