6. Don’t hide your feelings.
Don’t hide your feelings from your partner in a relationship. Remember that the whole point of being in a relationship with someone is having someone you can be vulnerable to. You have to show your partner that you are willing to let them in and that you aren’t interested in keeping them out.
7. Admit your mistakes.
You have to be humble enough actually to acknowledge and own up to your mistakes. It’s always a lot harder to trust someone who thinks that they can do no wrong and that they’re virtually perfect. You need to show your partner that you are humble enough to admit that you’re wrong every once in a while.
8. Be consistent with building trust.
You always have to make it a point to stay consistent with your habits of building trust. As has already been established earlier, building trust is a slow and gradual grind. You don’t want to be setting yourself back by committing mistakes and being inconsistent with your efforts here.
9. Learn to be appreciative.
You always have to make it a point to be appreciative of your partner. Whenever you fail to express your gratitude, you become less trustworthy. Your partner will find it difficult to trust someone who fails to show any semblance of thankfulness or gratefulness after a kind or noble act.
10. Refrain from being selfish.
Of course, selflessness is always going to play a vital role in any romantic relationship. There is no way that you would ever be able to accommodate another person in your life in an intimate capacity if you are too selfish. Also, if you always act on your selfish desires, it can make it very hard for others to trust that you would be there for them.
