Sorry for not being clearer. I am talking about trusting another person as you trust yourself.
Obviously, if someone cannot trust himself, 'trusting another person' should have no meaning at all to him.

I don't trust myself in all things, either. But it becomes a bit of an incoherent standard as I cannot decide to exclude myself from some things as I would a friend, so it's not clear how a friendship could ever meet such a bar if for no other reason than that trust in myself is categorically different from trust in another.
