It's really common - like, nearly 100% - for avoidant people to say they don't trust other people. When I look at myself, I think that boils down to me not trusting myself.

If you say you don't trust anyone else to really love you, is that the truth? Other people don't have the right to choose, don't have valid feelings if they love you?

(BTW I am the queen of that - someone will say something to me, their own feelings, their own opinion about me, and I will try to accept it for a few seconds, and then come straight back with, "well, you're wrong." Pretty annoying habit of mine.)

Is it true that you don't trust someone will love you, or is it more accurate to say you don't trust yourself to be able to accept their love?

There's nothing crueler than to deny someone's love. The last time I was proposed to - swear to God - I laughed. I mean, it was ridiculous, someone wants to marry me? Hahahaha! But to be on the receiving end of that? I shudder to think. Which is why I think that everyone, across the board, would be better off if I wasn't in their life, because I do crappy things like that. It's driven by fear and avoidance, but still, unacceptable.

Getting off track. I urge you to examine your "I don't trust people" belief to see if it's accurate. Because it is easier to learn to trust yourself than a stranger, so if that's the case for you, then you have something you can work with.
