About This Quote
Trust is something that must be earned. When you feel secure in the knowledge that someone is trustworthy, you can open up and share your secrets with them. If you are unsure of the person’s intentions, however, you are not sure what he or she might do with the information. When you are trusted, on the other hand, it is easy to voice your concerns or ask for help. Even if they are not the right people to help at the time, being trusted means that they will be there if you need them later on.
