Trust is betrayal, as in lying or breaking promises. I don't trust people who go through life lying. I don't care for people who use too many social lies ("white" lies) because they come across as phony.
I am not sure if we should say it's about trusting them to behave a certain way because that is dependent more on how well we know the person, how well we can read behaviors, and how much we read into ambitious words or actions. In other words, if the person acts unexpectedly, does it mean he's wrong for acting out of character or that we're wrong for failing to understand him?
