Trust is tied in with respect in this way:
Respect is a form of anxiety towards what we perceive to threaten us by taking away or withholding something we value.
In the case of withholding what we value respect becomes a matter of trusting the source of what we need/desire. Trust built over consecutive, consistent, fulfillment of said need/desire. The source is respected so as to not deny us what it has consistently offered of great value to us. If it denies us what we value – for whatever reason – we lash out in anger, losing trust, as an indication of our displeasure.
We respect and trust a source of insight only after it has consistently proven to be accurate and/or useful – tested personally and privately; we distrust and disrespect what has consistently failed to offer anything of use and/or of value.
‘Value,’ of course is a product of triangulation, between subjective, objective, and effort/distance necessitated. Value drops/increases in proportion to the attainment/experience of the objective, and the overestimation or underestimation of it, and/or of the subjective, and/or the effort/distance necessitated.
Respect for the subjective is adjusted accordingly, viz., respect increases inversely proportional to the overestimation/underestimation of either the objective or the effort/distance necessary to attain it – the former being far more decisive than the latter. Therefore, an overestimation of an objective can never be validated if the objective is unattainable, and the effort/distance is inflated to justify why it is unattainable. In this case the subjective can never lose respect because the value of the unattainable objective is extraordinary, necessitating extraordinary efforts/distances to be overcome. Such an overestimated objective remains valuable in proportion to the subjects unfulfilled need/desire; respect becoming submissiveness.
