[Tuesday] Discussion: Trust

Join our discord: https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr

Trust is the belief that someone or something is reliable, honest, and will do what is expected. It allows us to feel safe in relationships, take emotional risks, and work together in meaningful ways. But trust takes time to build and can be broken quickly. In this discussion, we’ll explore what makes trust possible, how it grows, what happens when it’s lost, and how it shapes the way we relate to others and ourselves.

1. How do you personally define trust in a relationship?
2. What helps you decide whether someone is trustworthy?
3. Can you share a time when trust was broken—how did it affect you?
4. What does it take to rebuild trust once it’s been damaged?
5. Do you find it easy or difficult to trust others? Why?
6. What’s the difference between trusting someone and relying on them?
7. How does trust play a role in your closest relationships?
8. Can you have a strong relationship without complete trust?
9. How do you balance giving trust with protecting yourself from being hurt?
10. How has your ability to trust changed over time?
11. What role does self-trust play in your life?

These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts.

The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion.

Due to the increased group size, we're making a few changes to how our discussions will be structured.

We'll arrange tables of 6 participants each, without a moderator. When you arrive, please gather at the front near the escalator. Once enough people are assembled, I'll escort each group of 6 to their table to begin the discussion, and continue doing this as more participants arrive.

Each table will receive a sheet containing the topic description and discussion questions. Feel free to take a photo or refer to the event page to have your own copy handy.

The official event time is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but some of us stay longer, transitioning into informal conversations beyond the topic. You're welcome to join any other ongoing discussions once your initial group wraps up and members start leaving.

Please do not go directly to a table upon arrival; instead, wait at the front area by the escalator. This approach will help us manage seating smoothly and ensure everyone enjoys an organized and engaging discussion experience.
