How much evidence have you given yourself that you can rely on yourself?
Self-trustworthiness develops through patterns. What you tell yourself matters, but what you repeatedly do gives you information about whether you can rely on your own commitments. The Self-Trust Meter asks you to look at that relationship more closely.
