I also don't trust other people, because so many people I have thought I could trust ended up breaking that trust. I have also had people tell me they think I am trying to manipulate them.

This sounds to me like you have a hard time trusting yourself, your own feelings and the expression of your own feelings. Your feelings are not wrong and you're not being manipulative to express them. That's why you're in therapy! Have at it!  It's your time and your space. Allow yourself that.
You have a right to your own feelings and you have a right to have them heard. |
