trust?

I find it very difficult to trust, I am very wary, suspicious of strangers, it probably stems from the fact that I have been in an abusive relationship, when I was mentally abused and I have also had a history of bullying, so I find it difficult to open up or to reveal anything about myself. It takes ages to build it up, it's like building a wall, brick by brick by brick, it's a slow process, one someone has betrayed my trust then all the bricks fall down and the wall cannot be built again. I am more of a loner, I don't mix and I don't socialize

We are almost similar. I trust a person too much, but in the end, he betrayed me. But thru this experience i learn my lesson. Maybe the Lord allow it to happen so that i will learn how to handle people well.

I have people that sells merchandise for me and I trust them when I have their signature on contract for the product they take with them, simple because I have the law to fall back on to file theft charges.
