Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, but for many gay men, it can feel complicated and difficult to build. In this video, we break down where trust issues come from, how they’re shaped by early experiences and identity, and how they show up in relationships.
From fear to vulnerability, avoidance to connection, understanding trust issues can help create healthier relationships built on consistency, emotional safety, and mutual care.
