Trusting someone is a simple yet difficult task. Everyone I've met, including myself, fear being betrayed by the people that they care about. It's truly a difficult thing to believe in someone completely because not one person will reveal every thought that passes through their mind. Being aware of this fact, it is only normal to have doubts. What matters is what you let those doubts do to you.
This is why trust is so important. Those doubts that're kept within your heart are either going to consume your every thought or just be simply ignored. You become paranoid when trust is lacking. For no logical reason, you start to doubt their words and nothing seems true until you see it yourself. Without even realizing it, you become the reason for the relationship's downfall.
Many think trust comes by forcing things upon others when really, it's the exact opposite. Trust isn't gained with force, it's only possible with the proper amount of freedom. Allow the chance to prove themselves as trustworthy. You can't stick them in a box, tell them what they can and cannot do, force them to excommunicate with their friends, and basically expect them to do whatever you wish and then claim to "trust" them. That isn't trust, it's being controlling, and it shouldn't even be considered as a relationship.
It all just comes down to being afraid.
