The answer

Some people suffer from a loss of trust in others due to mistreatment or meeting kindness with ill-treatment. To address this issue, the following guidelines can be followed:

1. Accept that there are those who are worthy of trust, as seeking advice from others is proof of this. 2. Avoid generalizing the judgment of distrust to everyone, as people differ in their natures. 3. Beware of pessimism in judging people, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a man says, 'The people are ruined,' he is the one who has ruined them most." 4. Being cautious of people does not mean losing trust in everyone, but rather dealing with them according to what they outwardly show. 5. Beware of self-admiration when judging others. 6. Look at the positive aspects in people and remember the good deeds that came from them. 7. Do good deeds seeking the pleasure of Allah, not expecting recompense from people. 8. Avoid excessive mixing with people, and choose friends carefully.
