Everyone has to earn trust from me. The only people I can truly trust are my parents and siblings but even then, they can also be untrustworthy.

The only beings in the Universe that you should unconditionally love is yourself and your family.

I give respect for everybody. I believe in the philosophy that you should always respect others.

I don't necessarily think there are different types of trusts and respects and etc. I think there are different LEVELS but not different TYPES.

I'm going to give the obnoxious answer of both. I have a set minimum of these things I afford to all my fellow mankind, and it goes up or down based on their behavior.

Thanks for sharing your perspectives.

I cannot understand why you think your answer is obnoxious.

Please elaborate your set minimum of disrespect which you afford to all your fellow mankind.

Mostly because it's not commiting to an either-or, yes or no answer.

It's a minimum of respect. They have respect enough to treat them civilly and cordially. But it's not an unconditional respect. They can lose it through behavior. Things like that.

Please elaborate what do you mean by "simply recognized".
Well don't you recognize when someone is kind to you, I'm sure you don't meet someone and expect them to be kind, if their kind it will show and you simple see them as a kind person.

Yes, if someone is kind to me then i will recognize that they're a kind person, as a result they earned some trust and respect from me.

Yes I agree, earning respect come after not before, I like to believe everyone I meet is a nice person, unless I find they ain't, then and only then can I respect them or not, if that makes senses ?..

Trust is essentially a belief. And, like a belief, it's largely not active or in our control. It's what makes sense to us as a result of the amalgamated result of numerous factors, conscious and subconscious,

That being said, I think if you look at "trust" as a realistic expectation of someone's future behavior based on past behavior, personality, experiences, etc., then it's a much more cogent and meaningful concept. Basically, "trust" people to do what they are most likely to do. This may or may not coincide with what they verbally express or promise.
