Connection Quote by Mark Kozelek
“If a fan approaches me and I feel like they have some kind of agenda, I'm probably gonna get real closed-off and not talk to them. But if I feel a connection with someone, or if I feel a certain trust with somebody, I feel like, 'You know what, I can open up to this person and tell them about an experience.'”

When distrust arises, the speaker withdraws and refuses communication, but openness follows trust and connection.
In simple terms: Mistrust leads to silence; trust invites sharing.
Build trust before seeking openness.
