Mistrust is a premonition of an external threat. There may or may not be grounds for it.
Sometimes it happens that someone has objective reasons not to trust, which is normal. But another person can demonstrate to everyone that he does not believe, that he cannot count on anyone. This is a problem, because it is difficult to live with suspicion, in most cases it does not allow you to build healthy, happy relationships.
Anyone who notices mistrust in themselves is always interested in why it exists. There are several reasons for this characteristic to arise.
Roots in childhood
At the age of up to 2 years, basic trust or mistrust is formed. At this time, the baby should feel the mother's support, her love. If this is not the case, then he gets the feeling that he has been abandoned, abandoned.
It also plays a role whether the mother is confident in herself or not, whether she can cope with caring for the child on her own. If she cannot do this, then her lack of self-confidence will be passed on to the child. And such a quality goes hand in hand with mistrust.
Inflated expectations
A person can idealize the world, can demand impeccable behavior from those around them, so that even their thoughts are exclusively correct.
But in practice, it often happens that someone does not live up to even the most obvious expectations, which leads to disappointment. When an individual encounters this several times, he may begin to doubt that anyone can behave correctly at all. As a result, trust in the world disappears.
Limited vision of reality
Something unfamiliar always causes fear. A person may not fully interact with the world, may refuse many things in life.
In this case, he will be an outside observer, will not see various nuances that only seem to be trifles, but in fact determine a lot. As a result, he most often swears, may start to panic. He will hardly be able to trust someone in such a state.
These are the reasons that form mistrust. It is necessary to work with it, to try to eradicate it. Only in this case it will be possible to live fully, to enjoy what is happening.
