    $\begingroup$ Just a warning, these really short riddles are extremely likely to be flagged as 'too broad'. If you feel that there is only one reasonable answer, then it's fine, but when you're starting out, it's better to write more clues or include more tags to help explain away unintended answers. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @lucas If you are not sure what hints to give, you should also explain to each answerer why their answer is 'incorrect' or ill-fitting. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Is it deliberate that you didn't write "I cannot work" in your last hint? Will it no longer make sense then? $\endgroup$

I had to trust my

instincts

And I don't care if you support this answer, because

my instinct was that the answer is "instincts"

Well, it can't be

friction

because it often does work, and this question lacks the tag

    $\begingroup$ As a physicist, I reject your acceptance of my answer and deem this riddle a danger to the education of the public. $\endgroup$

Is it

a Bank? :p

Explanation

Since you have nobody or nothing to support you, you take credit ("trust"). I doubt it's a right answer though, because you could interpret the riddle rather differently.

It could be also

a hint

Because

Without any answers in the thread, which could support you by giving you an idea for your own answer, the only things you can trust are the hints. It also happens to be useful and necessary, but sometimes it would spoil the riddle.

$\begingroup$

the simplest answer would be "choice" When you have no support, you had to trust me. it says when you have no support(there is or nothing that can help you accomplish the task) so u always have a choice to do something other than that task which u can accomplish without any support.

OR

If that is a religious question then the answer is simply THE GOD.
