lack of trust
Absence of faith
Lack of trust is the absence of confidence in someone's reliability, honesty, or good intentions.
It describes a state where faith has either never developed or has been eroded: There's a fundamental lack of trust between the two parties.
The phrase often appears in discussions of relationships, institutions, or negotiations where suspicion prevents cooperation.
