You gotta think on a Global scale. Sure, "A" "B" and "C" love you, but if D-Z hate your guts because you never try to maintain relations with them, then theres way more people out there who definitely don't trust you
A valid post, but you have to differentiate trustworthiness vs. popularity. Just because someone dislikes me, doesn't mean I'm untrustworthy, and vica versa. Being well liked and popular is one thing. Being honorable and willing to honor agreements and bargains to others (even a small few) is another thing entirely.
