A key part of how we do trust is the massive amount of information gained from seeing people in a wide variety of social contexts.
You can assess a person’s abilities to deal with a friend who is upset; to behave well in one on one settings, small parties, or formal events; to deal themselves with being under great stress; to correctly pick up on subtle social cues that someone could use some help / is overstepping their bounds. I’ve made assumptions about people’s reliability and trustworthiness after interactions via text/skype, yet seen them act in distinctly weird ways at social gatherings that makes others uncomfortable, and I learned I’d made false assumptions of generality.
We have a lot of heuristics based on facial expressions and socialising cues that are hard to explicate (or even notice).
