A facet of Agreeableness
Trust measures your starting stance toward others: whether you assume people are basically honest and well-meaning, or keep your guard up until they prove otherwise. It's your default presumption about others.
You give the benefit of the doubt and expect the best of people; that openness builds relationships easily and people reciprocate. The cost: you expose yourself to those who abuse that trust, and sometimes you're slow to see a warning sign.
You keep a healthy caution: trust is earned with you, not given away. You're rarely deceived. The blind spot: your guard can push good people away and make you see threats where there was only clumsiness.
Trusting a lot isn't naivety and distrust isn't cynicism: they're different bets on human nature, with opposite risks. Trusting too much makes you vulnerable; distrusting too much isolates you. What matters is whether your guard adjusts to the person in front of you.
Where it shows. It shows up with a stranger, before a promise, in whether you leave your things unwatched, and in how long you take to believe someone's version.
