Being perceived as doing so probably does. I'm not very good at deceit=20
(I have whatever the opposite of a poker face is), but thankfully I=20
find trust not to difficult most of the time. It is most commonly=20
difficult for me when I am in an "unsafe" situation - feeling some fear=20
typically.

The rules you outline above remind me even more of game theory. Trust=20
applies when you can elect to work competitively or cooperatively. I=20
went and read this page on the tit-for-tat strategy:

The question in my mind is now: is trust the expression of our minds'=20
subconscious game-theoretic calculations?!
