Hello melanie30. I understand your issue of trust. What caused the loss of trust in my situation was the emotional and verbal abuse in family and the friends to me.

The regaining of trust is different for each person. Myself, I was disappointed and had my trust broken enough with different friends at different times. As I said, you are not anyone with this dilemma. It's why I don' t trust the T's I have seen. The ones I trust the most are my pets.

I believe the best way for me is to remove negative thoughts and replace with the positive. Now, I have to be anonymous here and a few details here that shows some trust. I must have my boundaries so I feel safe. I still have self doubts about communication to others. My guard is up, maybe it is too sensitive sometimes.

The last thing I want is a repeat of how I felt betrayed and so lost with the loss of trust.

I believe it will pass and you will be stronger for it, especially with the help and or support
of PC members. Sorry, I don' t have my welcome image for you, so welcome to PsychCentral.
