I don't think that you should try to trust this person. You may get hurt if you trust them because they could be lying to you the entire time you talk to them.

To gain someone's trust that has consistently lied is a difficult task. One may be reluctant to confide and trust in someone who has been often let down, or lied to. The best way to gain trust with someone who has burned you once is to take your own time with what you are comfortable with. Only do activities and have conversations you feel are appropriate, and always remember that you are never due for an explanation.

Learn how to ween out the truth. Listen to the person's words, and the tone in which they present to you. Ask concrete questions, and see if the correspond with each other. Repeat the same questions and see if they reply the same.

Many people have interactions with others who aren't completely honest. Some people are less honest than others. The important thing is to identify these people, so you can listen more carefully. Listen to what they say, and if it sounds less than truthful, confront them about it. Maybe there is a deeper reason to why they aren't being truthful. Talk to them about it. Tell them that they can be truthful to you, that you won't judge them. They may open up to you, they may not. And if they continue to lie, distance yourself from them, and when you talk to them, listen carefully to what they're saying so that you have a clue if they're being truthful or not.

The best way is to allow the person that lied to build the trust with me as a person through actions. It is through actions that I can see what is within the individual rather than to adhere to the words they say.

I think trust has to be earnt, and it's not up to you to find a way for you to trust the person - it's up to them to behave in a way where they earn your trust again. Trust is something we use to protect ourselves, and if you've lost your trust in a person, it's because you're trying to protect yourself from that person hurting you again. They have to show that they've changed enough that you can feel safe with them. Essentially, the onus is on them, not you, to change that.

After repeated betrayal, it really is hard to regain trust. Time heals wounds, but it also creates space, and it can feel like reopening wounds so sometimes its hard to make amends again and again:'/

Some people forgive and forget; others forgive but don't forget or they forget but don't forgive. Either way, to build trust again would be quite hard at this point. But all people are different, some can trust more easily than others and some people just can't see through past betrayal. Do what you feel is right in your heart.
