I can be a very sensitive person sometimes. I've come across a lot of hurtful people and I've seen a lot of people do hurtful and deceiving things to one another. I'm losing faith. Please tell me there are some good people out there?

Hi.I also have a sensitive heart and have always tried to look for the best in people. That has led me to be taken advantage of and fooled by so called friends. But now, older and wiser, I have learned to be very cautious with the people I give my trust to. It has to be earned...not just automatically given. I still remember how hurt and disappointed I was to have to realize that. But please know that there ARE many good and loving people out there who truly care about others. All the best to you.

Yes, there are a lot of great people out there that are caring and loving. There are also a lot of loving and caring people here on Psych Central. Don't lose faith.

There are definitely caring people in this world. Don't give up yet.
Personally, for me, I think that sometimes in trying to protect myself, I may be suspicious of others. Or just not notice that someone is trying to encourage me. Or trying so hard to "escape" life that I may not notice a helpful person.
I have recently come to realize that not only have I had many bad days in my life, but they are to be expected from time to time.
Courage, friend. We care.

Sorry to hear! There's a lot of good people, especially on P Central!!
