Not only do outbound links not make your own page somehow magically more trustworthy, if people follow those links then they will potentially leave your website for another one which means they spend less time on yours. Honestly don’t try to game it. Use the relevant links where they’re needed and welcome, where they provide value to your site users, without trying to add or remove any just to play the system. Focus on what your site users actually want from your site.
