The biggest way that my actions affect other people is that of betrayal. Other people trust me with responsibilities‚ and when I take a negative action towards that trust it decreases. On the other hand‚ if I have a positive reaction towards the trust that awarded to my behalf‚ then I am trusted with more and bigger responsibilities.
