I am in the same boat & can tell you it's never & you just have to start by forgiving yourself & ignorring those ******* out there who will only try to hurt you again, those people are not worth it.

hello, CelinaC
you feel deeply hurt.....??
as for trust..... recognise that it is a precious thing
..........................more valuable than any precious metal or stone
it's not fairy dust to scatter freely and cheaply
..... but something to be cherished
........ and awarded in stages to the very few who deserve a measure of it.
secondly, of course
... you must learn to accept
..............................that humans fail
it is a fact we have to live with
............... in one way or another
............................. everyone of us fails
..................................my respect to you, from robbieLike (1)

You just learn from your mistakes and should have a better idea what certain people to trust and who not to trust.

Well trust is not something that can happen with the click of the fingers. You have to build trust gradually.

It's a tough situation. I feel for you.
I don't think you do necessarily need to 'learn' to trust again at all. I think you might look around for people who seem to be trustworthy and give them the opportunity to earn your trust - little steps at a time.
I went through a period of about a year where I was let down, hurt and betrayed by so many people who were really imporatnt to me. I lost my trust and then my ability to trust. I felt desolate and lonely and angry. Looking back though I think I was quite naive. I am glad now to have shed that skin, to be a bit more wary and a bit more intuative and a bit more careful. I do still trust people but I let it grow gradually and naturally - it's not my standard approach to life anymore.
Best of luck with getting through this,
Joanne
