((SophiaG)) - I'm sorry you're struggling with this. I can relate to how you feel because I was deeply hurt in my relationship. I'm familiar with a few reasons why you would end up feeling like this. Deep hurt from a relationship can make a person doubt or trust anyone again, so they put up this wall to protect themselves from any future hurt. You can't trust because you don't want to be vulnerable again.

Depression can also cause apathy towards others. In order to feel positive emotions, you need to be in a good place emotionally. If you're feeling very down, the depression blocks all those good emotions. If a person feels betrayed numerous times, they end up thinking why should I bother to care if I'm just going to get hurt. Sounds like its a protective mechanism. I hope it gets better for you SophiaG
