I have terrible trust issues. I really could use some advice.
Why do you have trust issues?
My relationship with people had shaken me up and I'm afraid of getting involved with other people again.
It's perfectly understandable that you want to protect yourself from getting hurt. However, if you continue to have trust issues you could miss out on a lot of great relationships in life.
I'm on a role and I don't want to hear this right now.
I get that you want to make things work and want to protect yourself but at the same time you need to lower your defenses from time to time.
