I just can’t trust anyone. I came to the realization that my trust issues are more severe than it has ever been.
I just think people can’t be trusted at all because they’re all evil.
I seriously need to get out of this trauma. I can’t be trapped in memories that happened 10+ years ago.
I don’t even trust my family and I don’t even know if I can trust my friends. What is even going on with me?
I disagree that people are inherently evil.
I think it’s like- I think people are evil. I just haven’t met good people yet.
Again, that’s the trust issue that I’m trying to fix.

There are a LOT of people who won’t hesitate to take advantage of you. Try not to get bitter about it. My bank account is about as hacked as it can be. I’m always having to repudiate false charges on my account. It is galling. I don’t have all that much to begin with. Some people would steal from their mothers. They’re low.
I know a lot of good people. I trust them. As long as there is nothing on the line like money or values or sensitive information you have nothing to lose. I wouldn’t trust just anyone with things like that, but casual trust is no problem. If you trust someone and they prove you wrong, you can always dislike them afterwards, but I would keep a open mind with people you do not know, that is the only way to develop a trusting relationship. Just don’t expect to get more than you give. It works both ways.
Could it be ptsd? I have complex ptsd and it’s really difficult for me to trust people as a result, especially men. I’m getting assessed soon by county mental health to get different types of therapy approved.
Yeah, I have CPTSD as well. It’s really hard to trust anyone these days.
It’s something we can work on though. I really believe that. There is hope
Talking to my psychiatrists is like thank you for your honesty but you need to get punished now.
@anon10648258 I think you should take up Janggi or Korean Chess, and through this activity
( playing over the board Janggi) you can find friends and regain trust in people.
Good luck.
Sorry it is like this for you. I also have a massive issue with trusting people can be good for or to you. It makes me behave in a way which then results in the inevitable — people want to be unkind because they think that’s what I am used to it actually like.
Janggi is considered a sport for old people and young individuals don’t play it. If you play it and if you’re young, you become an outcast from those young folks.
But, thanks for the suggestion.
At this point I’m pushing everyone away from me and want to be completely alone. It’s starting to become unhealthy.
I think I’ve said this before but there can be increments of trust. My neighbor likely watches me because she’s always looking out her window at the neighborhood. But I don’t think she’s going to assemble an exposé of me to distribute because it would take time out of her life. There can be baby steps to trust.
Yes, trust is not an all or nothing thing.
