Do you think of trust as something that is absolute? Do you either completely trust someone or completely distrust someone with no range of values in between?
Or do you think of trust as something that varies from low to high with values anywhere in between? Do you have some friends/family you trust more than others. with a very few at the highest level? Does your trust vary based on the situation?
Boosts appreciated, Thank You!

"What's the most common element in the human body?"
I saw this question, took a guess, then searched the web. Only thing is, the first answer I found answered the question by listing elements by weight.
To me, the word "common" implies frequency and not any other measure, such as weight or volume.
For example, if someone asked, "what is the most common eye color amongst this group of people?", would you expect you'd do anything other than counting?

I just learned about the “gray rock” method for dealing with toxic people. Whoa. I wished I’d known about this sooner.
The gist is that you can minimize harm by becoming uninteresting to the person who is trying to trigger some kind of response.
