I used too "overly trust" people at one point in my life. Now I am quite the opposite. I think people who are compassionate can get caught up in a cycle where others may walk all over us. Then you get too a point where the barriers begin to come up and before you know it you feel like you cannot trust anyone especially if something traumatic has happened from someone you felt you could trust. I think there are ways through therapy we can learn too have boundaries yet begin to trust others but it takes time. Almost like you have to learn once again you can have certain boundaries yet trust others.
Hang in there hon!
