Learning to trust is steered by the developing self-identity

Evidence

Trust in others is developed in conjunction with the formation of an inner sense of trustworthiness, which provides a basis of a stable self-identity subsequently. Hence very early on trust implies a mutuality of experience. — Anthony Giddens, The Consequences of Modernity, 231 (#expands, via linked claim)

Personal trust, therefore, has to be established through the process of self-enquiry: the discovery of oneself becomes a project directly involved with the reflexivity of modernity. — Anthony Giddens, The Consequences of Modernity, 289 (#expands, via linked claim)
