Trust is contextual and varies by demonstrated competence

Trust is contextual and based on the competence and reliability demonstrated in specific areas. Absolute trust in someone is rare; it is about trusting them in particular aspects. In a situation where trust is broken in one area, it is crucial to establish boundaries in that specific area. While maintaining caution in the breached area, recognizing reliability and safety in other aspects is important. It is possible to engage with the person in areas where they have shown trustworthiness while keeping boundaries where trust has been violated.
