Yep 100% that’s why I have never been in a real relationship with anyone.

I've been improving. But still sometimes hard.

What steps have you been taking to improve?

Yes

Learning to listen to my intuition has been the biggest thing.

oh 100%. i still have my moments of flinching at the touch of my husband, or even thinking my best friend of 8+ years is going to turn on me one day. i think what helped me is to remember that trust is blind, but intuition’s eyes are wide open.

Yeah, even if I've told my bf he's the first person I've really relax like I would, part of me still feels unsafe to trust and push him away.

Yeah. Even when you know they're good sometimes you still wonder what might make them leave.

I think letting the right ones know when you're feeling insecure helps too.

Yes omg, it’s terrible, if they do one thing I just get weary of trusting them in the future it is difficlt

Yes, I sometimes feel isolated even while being comforted.

Ugh yes!! my dad also has drilled in my head since I was a kid to “trust no one” so that also doesn’t help :/

Yeah that definitely wouldn't help.

Yes I find it hard to even respond to texts and emails and that shouldn’t be a daunting task but I find it to be quite often 😥

Yeah, the only way I get through it is by reminding myself that a life where I can't trust anyone is a life I would not prefer. To be alive is to feel pain, and if I always protect myself from pain, I'm also keeping myself from potential joy. I'm smart and I've learned a few things over the years about recognizing bad people, and although some still slip through, I have to trust myself. I also try not to predict the future. It's easier said than done, but I try to live in the moment and sort of deal with issues as they arise. I keep myself in that mindset by reminding myself of all the times people have proven they care about me.

What do you think? Heh.💕

There are few who care but with these ailments comes a real gift: understanding truth in self and in an other so when you understand an other cares, the other gift is understanding the joy of appreciating their real care.💕
