Fuzzikins, I am sorry you are feeling low. I hope you feel better soon. I want to offer you my perspective on trust. If it helps you, I will be glad. If it does not or you think it is crazy, I will apologize in advance.

I understand about betrayal of trust. After having several severe shocks to my system by other people, I decided to build my own competencies so that I did not need to rely on others and/or (depending on the situation) so that I could more easily detect who was likely to be less sincere or less able to follow through on whatever he or she was promising.

I think we have to be unafraid to say "this is not for me" and more trusting of our own judgment in continuing to hold out for decent treatment from others.

I do not rush into relationships, and would rather spend time with myself than with an untrustworthy person.
