I don't think not trusting others comes down to you respecting yourself. I think it sounds like you just don't know if you can tell people things about yourself. I'm in the same position bc, with the stuff I have been through, I have had people use it against me before. It is always really hard to tell guys about my abusive past bc one time, when I broke up with a guy, he goes "no wonder your ex used to hit you". And I went, okay....guess I can't tell anybody anything anymore.

People need to EARN your trust. Its hard to just give up info about yourself without any kind of 'proof' that they wont throw you under the bus. Here is a really good place to start. You can open up about anything on here, promise
