A couple of years ago, my boyfriend cheated on me, and then we broke up when I found out. It absolutely shattered my ability to trust anyone when because he had categorically denied that there was anyone else until I caught him.
About a year later, I found out that my mum had lied to me about something. It wasn’t something big, and she had the best of intentions, but again, someone I trusted most in the world lied to me and hid things from me.
Since then, my ability to trust anyone, or believe anything that people say to me, is gone. I hate the person that I’ve become but I’m so scared of letting my guard down and being hurt again.
How do you move on from those feelings that nobody is sincere and start to trust people again? I never thought either of those people would hurt me, until they did, and it’s changed something in me. Maybe it was a lesson I needed to learn, and actually you should just never trust anyone but yourself. I feel kind of broken right now and tired of feeling like this. Please help.
