In a way I think it’s more negative. As in you often expect that a person you trust cannot/wouldn’t do things, particularly if they harm you or your interests. The “cannot” side leads closer to dependence, again⁺ imo, but overall you’d also be more vulnerable than someone who’s merely willing to benefit from asking for a favour.
what you describe is more like dependency than trust, imo
Fair, I’ve always suspected it’s not specifically trust, but something else. What would trust look like then?

I’m not sure I’m following you.
