I for my self try to ignore my meta trust as best as possible, there are players were I can tell very fast that they are an antag so I just play dumb and act like I would normally would, maybe act a bit suspicions if the character behaves very weird from how they normally do but I would still put trust in them until proven otherwise.
As HoS I aoid it also as best as I can, if I ask someone I most often just pic the closest person to me give them an order and that's it, sure in sec there are player that I know are doing a good job but I avoid giving just them the more important stuff, I often just radio and speak to all my officers at the same time and ask if someone can go check XY or help XYZ and stuff. I think this can help. Often newer player are also more shy and it takes them a bit to warm up, I think what would also help them is making it clear to them that failure is not a problem, at least this is what people did to me when I started, no one really cared if I set up the engine wrong or made a mistake, and that helped me too.
I think I also had moments were some sec of were much more careful about a person because they know they are robust from other rounds, I think Ranni can often be a good example, she is often known for being very good as an antag, and sometimes people are extra careful because its her, I try to avoid it I engage her alone or in a team and ignore the fact IC that I know she is very good, it makes for much more fun for both sides I hope.
I play more on highpop so I see new faces all the time, but I think my blindness to remember names or characters that don't have strong distinct styles also helps with it, cant metatrust them if they all seem like some random person to me.
So I think what could help people who have a problem with that is trying to blend out some things more, maybe it helps if you need medical attention run to the first medic you see, you need sec? run to the first secoff or secass you see. Don't pay to much attention on who are you talking to, pay more attention to the job they have, and hey if you get napped by an antag because they look like an engi even funnier
