I trust my people. Close family and friends too, though I've only a few and they're not peers. ('Friends' is technically accurate, but they're a bit more like mentors/adopted extended family.) True, I only trust them 'as far as they go'. Everyone has their own constantly evolving brand of trust. Which does not reflect poorly on them. Like, in the case of Survivor- I wouldn't necessarily trust my people to be able to do things. They would do as best they could, but if they don't have experience in a situation, what can you do? So I guess that means I don't trust them to be flawless or omnipotent. Especially in high pressure and/or unfamiliar situations. But I should hope that goes without saying, and hope no one trusts me like that.
Sometimes I think well/don't think ill of a person and still don't trust them. If you don't jive, priorities don't line up, just don't know them well enough, then meh. It happens. No biggie. That's not to say I think the worst of people I don't know well enough to trust, you just can't assume these things, is all. It's all case-by-case if I need to make a decision on the fly. There are some major scrungemuffins out there that I do not trust any farther than I could throw, and you do have to be aware of those and those like them. So it goes.
But yeah, trust my people to have my back and do what they can? Sure. The others are just acquaintances.
