Trust might mean being confident that another person will always act in a way would seem reasonable to you, if you knew all the circumstances. Typically we don't know all that, so we trust people. It's important because it is the best foundation for sharing things like information, or experience, or responsibility.

Does that work as a definition? If it does, I don't trust myself.

You mean that you don't always act 'reasonably'? I didn't mean reasonably as in 'logically'. Or as in 'morally right'. I almost wrote predictably, but that's not quite right either. I might have meant, generally in keeping with the beliefs or principles that you and the other person share.
By the way I think it is perfectly possible that you don't trust yourself. (not you personally obv)

Maybe the real problem is my deceitful smile. I don't know.

WASHINGTON (AP) — You can take our word for it. Americans don’t trust each other anymore.We’re not talking about the loss of faith in big institutions such as the government, the church or Wall Street, which fluctuates with events. For four decades, a gut-level ingredient of democracy — trust in the other fellow — has been quietly draining away.These days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted. Half felt that way in 1972, when the General Social Survey first asked the question.Forty years later, a record high of nearly two-thirds say “you can’t be too careful” in dealing with people.An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when traveling.

One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.

I was going to post the above discovery, hidden in a link in this piece about why the US polls were wrong:
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/11/10/21551766/election-polls-results-wrong-david-shor
Probably due to the 'fear sells' tactic of the mass media.
