I’ve been reflecting on how trust develops in new friendships, and it strikes me how similar it feels to tending a garden. You can’t rush it trust grows over time, with care and attention. But what are the best ways to “plant those seeds” early on? I’m curious to hear how others approach this. Do you focus on being consistent, sharing small vulnerabilities, or something else entirely? And how do you balance being open without oversharing too soon? It feels like such a delicate process, but I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences on what’s worked for you.
