Top Signs Someone Is Trustworthy

What makes someone trustworthy? Well, a new survey attempted to find out.

The poll finds:

• But that can’t always be true, considering most folks say that since becoming an adult they’ve had their trust broken an average of 14 times.
• For this reason, more than half of adults find it difficult to trust other people.
• Plus, 70% say once their trust is broken it can’t be restored.
• On a more positive note, 25% say that current events have motivated them to be more forgiving of those who broke their trust.
• Plus, 10% say they’ve become more trusting this year.
• One thing most people can agree on (90%), is that someone must earn their trust.
• Healthcare works like doctors and nurses are considered the most trustworthy, followed by fire and rescue workers, and dentists.
