Characterizing the gap between being trustworthy and actually being trusted by some particular tends to be conceptually straightforward when the responsibility for the gap lies with the one who mistrusts the trustworthy. This chapter discusses the judgments about how to think about failures to trust the trustworthy need to track responsibility as not reducible to blame and need to be attentive to matters of power and privilege. In general, the tasks of calibrating when and whom to trust, as well as those of cultivating the reality and perception of one’s own appropriate trustworthiness, are embedded within larger tasks of understanding and taking responsibility for one’s placement in the world – in particular, the relationships of dependency and vulnerability in which one stands to diverse others. In some cases the person unjustly mistrusted is in fact distinctively trustworthy – as a testifier, public official, or other individual in whom others should be expected to place their trust.
