I Don't Trust Easily

I Can't

I haven't ever been hurt by anyone *not badly enough to give up on trust* but I think I'm afraid to let someone in and connect with them out of fear that they will damage my trust and then I'll be left feeling stupid and lonely over something that I shouldn't have done. I know it's probably not the best example for not being able to trust but it's why I have so much trouble taking people seriosuly. I don't like the fact that i can't trust anyone besides my family and sometimes not even they are 100% trustworthy. I really just don't know how I can let someone in without feeling the constant need to put up mental walls in my head so they have no idea what I'm thinking.

    i think actually trust may be kind of like spoiled meat/milk, etc., as in, 'if in doubt; throw it out!' as in, if u have to put up mental walls and ponder trustworthiness--the person in question is probably 'spoiled goods' which will become more and more apparent the longer you keep them!
