A person with trust issues will often paint everybody and everything with the same brush.
This means that if one person does something (or has done something) to betray your trust, it taints your view of everybody else.
This is why it is important to treat each person or organization separately.
As in the previous point, add to a person’s trust balance every time they show that they can be trusted.
If someone betrays your trust, empty or reduce that person’s account, but only theirs. Keep the other accounts unchanged.
Similarly, if someone from your past broke a promise or betrayed you in some other way, don’t assume that people in your present or future will do the same.
This is especially relevant to romantic relationships where you were hurt by an ex.
Don’t punish current or future partners for crimes committed against you by your ex. They are completely different people.
