* Mac Taylor from ''{{CSINY}}'' suffers from this frequently. After the death of Angell,when he is caught up with the solving the case,Stella actually tells him that he isn't alone. It later became a big part of his recovery from being shot during the season 8 finale. Mac struggled with a speech aphasia condition as a result, and although his friends knew something was wrong, he wouldn't open up to them. Jo, Stella's replacement, confronted him but he rebuffed her. He later apologized, but still insisted she not keep pushing. His girlfriend, Christine, called him on it and was pushed away as well, before Mac finally apologized and opened up to her when he realized she was ready to leave him. Christine again reminded him that he wasn't alone between her and his friends. Whether he listens remains to be seen.

* Lion-O from ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' had this problem for a while into the show, understandable considering how many times he willingly offerd up a plan and had it shot down by some like Tygra or Panthro.

* in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'', Kevin Levin can't seem to wrap his mind around the fact that Ben and Gwen trust him now that's working with them to stop an AlienInvasion, if his stealing their grandfather's RV to trade for an important message from said grandparent is anything to judge by.

* A lot of this between Kotetsu and Barnaby from ''{{Tiger And Bunny}}''; even after they get to the point where they start to trust one another, both have their reasons (with Kotetsu it's his fear of "becoming a burden" on someone while in Barnaby's case - since Kotetsu is his ''first and only'' friend and confidant - the habit of twenty years) for not sharing certain things with one another.

* In Steve Parker's ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' ImperialGuard novel ''Gunheads'', Siegler blurts out that they know Wulfe was [[DeadPersonConversation helped by a ghost]] (in the BackStory), and with that out, his squad tell him that they were hurt that he didn't tell them.

* ''{{Predator}} 2''. After Danny is killed by the title creature, Lieutenant Harrigan wants to take it down by himself.

* in ''Ben10AlienForce'', Kevin Levin can't seem to wrap his mind around the fact that Ben and Gwen trust him now that's working with them to stop an AlienInvasion, if his stealing their grandfather's RV to trade for an important message from said grandparent is anything to judge by.

* A lot of this between Kotetsu and Barnaby in {{Tiger And Bunny}}, as even once they've got to the stage of starting to trust one another, they still have their reasons (and in Barnaby's case, with Kotetsu as his ''only'' friend and confidant, the habit of twenty years) for not sharing certain things with one another.

Nah, just bad habits. Someone from his {{Nakama}} just has to remind him of the PowerOfFriendship and the PowerOfTrust. Let it be known that his mistrust is hurtful. Distinguishable from AesopAmnesia in that they do not have to learn the lesson over again; the reminder often suffices, for an explanation of secrecy if not an actual explanation.

* In DanAbnett's GauntsGhosts book ''His Last Command'', Kolea finds Rawne and the others from the Geroen team meeting in secret, and blasts them for forgetting their {{Fire Forged Friends}}hip and not trusting their commander.

* In three consecutive episodes from ''GossipGirl''s third season Chuck draws away from Blair while dealing with a serious situation, then after a gentle prod from her he remembers she's there and opens up to her.
* {{NCIS}}: Subverted. Gibbs isn't willing to draw his team into a case where he's breaking the rules to protect his old CO. Tony and Kate are hurt and assume that he doesn't trust them, but Ducky explains that while Gibbs is just protecting them. Then they play it straight by reminding Gibbs that they're there for him.

* After the first season, there's a few times Robin had to be reminded that all the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' are his friends and want to help him.
** Someone needs to send out that same memo to his comics book counterpart, staple it to that damn cowl he's borrowed, then tell his [[LikeBrotherAndSister sister in all but blood]] to quit moping and help out!
** Come to think of it, this is pretty much the perennial flaw of the entire Bat-clan. How many 'learning to trust others' arcs until it takes, guys?
*** Extra ridiculous considering the existence of the ''Bat Family'' in the first place. They have a team of BadassNormal all tightly inter-connected; they should be teaching the lessons on teamwork.

* In {{Natsume Yuujinchou}}, Natsume is [[FriendlessBackground so used to being a social pariah]] as a child [[CassandraTruth for disclosing his]] [[ISeeDeadPeople somewhat creepy ability]], that he's become very reluctant to talk about it to anyone -- even friends who ''know'' he can see spirits and Youkai, or would still readily accept him if they knew.

* In the AgeOfApocalypse, Rogue frequently reminded Magneto that he had promised not to keep secrets from her.

* In [[{{Ptitlewo6dni8e}} Dorothy L. Sayers]]' ''Busman's Honeymoon'', Harriet tells Bunter to tell LordPeterWimsey that she is sitting up the night of the execution. In due course, he shows up, apologetic for having -- he admits -- forgotten.

->'''Leona''': Mike... Mike, goddamn it. This ain't your personal little war, you know. I loved Danny too.
->'''Jerry Lambert''': And you told me, lieutenant, "the only way you survive down here is because you're a team." "The door swings both ways," remember?

* In DanAbnett's GauntsGhosts book ''His Last Command'', Kolea finds Rawne and the others from the Geroen team meeting in secret, and blasts them for forgetting their {{FireForgedFriends}}hip and not trusting their commander.

** Mysteriously. It never was before.

[[AC:Anime&Manga]]
* The guys in YuYuHakusho never have anything quite so squishy as a 'learning to trust others' arc, but Hiei gets smacked with a few 'power of...mutually beneficial cooperation' moments over the course of the series.
** Of course, the real whopper is at the Gate of Betrayal when they've all been a team approximately four minutes, and Yusuke asks Hiei, still a CardCarryingVillain on probationary community service, to run pull the lever that will stop the giant rock crushing them all to death. In a place where the whole ''point'' is that only the one who runs and abandons his friends can survive.
*** The reasoning was that Hiei is the fastest, so it's ''logical'' to have him be the one who runs while the rest of them take his load. The length of time he hesitated over whether to let them die kind of obviates this point, but since he was the only one fast enough to avoid the death-by-squishing that was set up for anyone who ''didn't'' betray their comrades, it's a good thing Yusuke did pick him.
*** Either way, that shining smile of trust out of ''nowhere''...eat your heart out. Hiei never quite recovered from it. (He never quite recovered from Kurama's helping him out when they first met, either, but that was a lot less dramatic an event. He really is kind of cute for a psychopath.)
*** This is the second stage of the triumphant culmination of Yusuke's own Power Of Trust arc. By the end of the series he's got the shonen-hero ability to shift people's hearts with only his power and enthusiasm down, which is not bad for a grouchy loner who figured he and the world were probably both better off with him dead.

* [[Ben10AlienForce Kevin Levin]] can't seem to wrap his mind around the fact that Ben and Gwen trust now that's working with them to stop an AlienInvasion, which is evidenced by his stealing their grandfather's RV to trade for an important message from said grandparent. His heart's in the right place, though.

* In DanAbnett's GauntsGhosts book ''Blood Pact'', when Curth stumbles on the secret transmitter, she wonders why they kept it so secret. Hark explains that he was trying to keep it secret as possible, so they wouldn't be hurt by knowing.
