I just kinda find it annoying. Mainly for the fact that 99% of the time you hear this, you hear it from a person you've either just met or only know somewhat, and in such a case you have no basis for trust in this person. It just seems the most stupid thing a person could say that they are trying to tell you something they either think they know about or think they have the answer to, and they tell you to trust them as though that's going to make the answer more factual or more believable? Get real.

depends on the person and/or their profession; good friends with a track record I usually have no problem with saying this; when someone who I do not know well says it, it raises a bit of a "red flag"; also depends on the situation: i would more likely feel comfortable with a nurse or red cross volunteer saying that, someone with no vested interest, as opposed to someone like a realtor or used car salesman, for example.

I have trust issues, so... pretty often when someone starts with a "trust me, this I know", they're taking up responsibility for everyone. That doesn't fly with me.

It doesn't mean a thing to me if someone says "trust me", unless it's my own family member, looking me in the eye very seriously, and saying it slow and deliberate.
"Tiger Woods will win, trust me" really means "I think Tiger Woods will win". Only God can tell the future with the authority of deserving trust.
In the Bible God said don't swear that your statement is true, not by earth, nor heaven, Just SAY it!!!
Often we say "I'm 'sure' you are right", when we don't want to strain about deciding, and don't want to argue (and perhaps mean to flatter), really meaning "I'm 'not' so sure".
"You 'are' right" is the way to REALLY say "I 'think' You are right".
Similarly "I'm sure" is the face saving code for "I think".
I'm "sure" we'll win, really means I "think" we'll win. When you really are sure about something, after the game is over, you say we won.
Before the game we should say We 'WILL' win, not I'm "sure" we'll win.
Another one is "To tell you the truth...", which sometimes means "I'm deciding what to say is true", or else we're really saying "trust me".

Depends on if I trust the person saying it.

Trust me on this. Never trust anybody who begins a sentence with trust me.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I wonder why they need to say that in the first place. makes me less trusting of them. You only know after getting to know somebody if theyre sincere or not.

I don't trust anyone until I hear the whole concept.
